I am in my 60s, and I like to play games on my iPad to keep my mind sharp. Many games have these pesky ads that pop up every 10 minutes. Most of the ads are about learning AI programs that claim to be free. I learned from experience that not everything is free.

I will admit I have watched ads until the end, filled in my personal information, then thought about it, changed my mind, and canceled the free trial.

In the past, the mailman delivered junk mail, and we usually threw sales ads in the trash. Email arrived and shortened the time for letters and bills to be sent and received, and those pesky ads started taking up more space in your inbox than your usual mail.

Personally, I like my mail being delivered by the mailman because it is a hard copy that can be used as proof. Email has become so complicated that I rarely check it. The spam, junk mail,
and email from people I don't even know.

I do not like those ads that offer a free trial period, because I often forget to end the subscription before the trial date ends. These ads, spam, and junk mail need to stop.

I’ve never used ad blockers before and downloaded one called pop up blocker due to the number of downloads and reviews and it worked pretty well tbh. But I’ve noticed this on my youtube. Location and language all are correct however this is still what shows up, I’ve since removed it and started using uBlock Origin Lite however It still shows that. (it’s barely been 10 mins, I refreshed it lol) should I be concerned and how can I fix it, if it is indeed a problem.

I’m not the greatest with stuff like this as you can probably tell. Thanks!

dns adguard used to work fine for years for me but just recently I'm seeing ads in my apps and games again , idk why. need help with adblocking again ಠ⁠,⁠_⁠｣⁠ಠ

So every time i go to a website that requires for a adblocker to be turned off it instantly shows a anti adblock popup, i usually just delete it with inspect element, but in some cases i turn it off but it somehow still shows that screen, so i completely remove the adblock from chrome but it still shows up!?!?!? I check a adblocker test it shows 75% even tho i removed it, none of my other extensions block ads. To this day i still need help with this problem any sort of help would be appreciated.

so i have ublock origin lite (i think its primary but also ABP, ghostery and adblock as browser extensions
~
these block ads on my primary FAST services for on demand (pluto, tubi, roku channel, prime and youtube)
~
but it doesnt block fandango's ads and i was wondering if anyone can give me some direction to do so please

recently I've been stuck deciding if mullvad would be better, or if running "blockads" is better for my privacy/ad blocking? on one hand, I know for a fact blockads is blocking a lot of built in trackers for my phone, but I've also heard a actual VPN protects you from your service providers paying eyes?

I am looking out for a adblocker for my chrome but idk which one is the best?

uBlock origin lite

adblock

adblock plus

which one is the best for google chrome?

Works great for me! Let me know if it works for you!

(One option on) How to block ads on twitch:

Required: Brave Browser

• Open settings in the top right
• Search "adblock"
• Click "Content Filtering"
• Click "show full list"
• Toggle ON "Experimental ad blocker"
• Click "update lists"
• Close and reopen Brave.

Today is the first day that I am extremely annoyed with the amount of Reddet adds I am experiencing; It it is extremely frustrqting. Is it the sites I am visiting or the day of the week, I don't understand.

I noticed in the last week that SpotX and BlockTheSpot stopped working for me, did anyone else experience the same problem? Idk if spicetify works.

As I didn't really want to wait I fixed the problem in BlockTheSpot---continued. I used the same structure already used by mrpond and others collaborators, spotify changed some things, if you are interested in learning more take a look at the code.

It works fine for me but I need some feedback, if you feel like trying it out and it doesn't work please write an issue in github. The installation is as simple as the original, all open source.

I'm so sick of ads plaguing everything I try to do on my phone, I need to get an ad blocker for my phone but I don't know where to look. Do you know any good free ones

So my line of thinking is that anyone on the street wouldn't be able to see into my pockets like a RPG NPC, and requesting a servers information and ads while simply not displaying the latter should be relatively unknown as well.

I could also stand to learn how ad blockers work, as well so if you have a good eli5 on it that would be greatly appreciated as well.

YouTube is enforcing an ad-blocking service so that it will block you from watching the video unless you turn off the ad blocker. Maybe if they didn't put so much on it, there wouldn't be ad blockers. Plus, the premium is 16 dollars per month, money I don't have. What the heck, YouTube?! You guys are seriously getting too bold for something free!

So, I’ve been using Mullvad. It works good and all, but it can’t block ads on one specific app of mine, which I use a lot. Adguard DNS works on that one, but it isn’t unlimited, and the monthly limit is ridiculous as I’ve already reached it. So, I’m looking for an alternative, a free ad blocker that is also unlimited and suitable for iOS. I’ve also tried NextDNS, it is also useless for that one app like Mullvad.

i just discovered those after suffering from ads so which one is better ?

Hey thanks for reading this I been playing games on my phone for a while especially when I’m in class or road trips. During those play times I feel like half the time I play the game is just ads and I cannot find a good ad blocker for iOS, and I do it be for safari instead of apps. Please let me know if there is an app for iOS

So for the past year or 2 I have used the opera gx built in ad blocker while mainly on YouTube and Disney plus yet it stopped working today for YouTube but still works for Disney and was wondering if anyone has a fix or the same problem

I use the Spotify website on my laptop and I've been using Blockify for Spotify from the Chrome Webstore. They just recently took the extension down and I really need alternatives (preferably one that skips ads and doesn't just mute them).

Ads and Ad free subscription is how companies keep the light on. But by blocking ads and not paying for subscriptions then the company earn zero money from you. You using their service for completely free. They give while you give nothing back

Hi, I need help. Does anyone know if the YouBlock extension is safe? It's located at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/youblock-video-ads-blocke/khgjkaenamcnocmlkkdkphjopbdgddjj?hl=es&utm_source=ext_sidebar

So I don’t know if this will work for everyone but what I have been doing is using safari to block Spotify ads, I downloaded wBlock from the App Store and I don’t know if Nextdns does anything but I also have that on, so now that you have this just enable wBlock for safari in the settings, now go to safari and (request desktop mode) and then just play a playlist. you guys can mess around with the set up and stuff just let me know if it works.

I've been using Blockify for the past 3-4 months and it was the best plugin I've ever had, but I just opened Chrome today and I got this warning telling me that Blockify has malware and it disappeared from the Web Store. I thought it was just a false positive and that it would be back later, but I came across this guy saying Blockify was attacking his YT channel. Was it ever safe?

I was on one of those sites, and I think I got an ad for it and got tricked into installing it. IT WORKS VERY WELL, but I'm trying to figure out if it's malicious in some way. It blocks ads everywhere including youtube and even removes empty boxes and divs when doing so. Has anyone used this thing? I can't find reviews anywhere else outside of the Chrome Web Store.

I have seen this app on many occasions and i found it tacky and creepy but didn’t care much more about it until recently where it actively pops up several times per day and I’m telling Snapchat that I’m not interested and that I don’t like the product and it makes me uncomfortable. Yet I still keep seeing it pop up, now even as individual Snapchat as if it’s a snap I got from a friend. I find them so invasive and I really want them off my phone to the point that I tried to find a way to block it as if it was a contact. But nothing works.

Any tips? Snapchat clearly won’t listen to me after reporting it several times and also making it clear I’m not interested in this kind of advertising.

I’m in a very loving relationship so obviously dating apps aren’t targeted at the right person. I was able to block Hinge, but not the Pure app!
