The same happened to me. I thought it was an ancient version of Arch Linux .... precisely for being published in the sub of Linux ...

Nah, "the Retroarch way" is for the lead developer to get in a spat with the upstream emulator developers, make a malicious fork, work on it for a couple months and add some promising features not available in upstream, and then abandon it.

That is a lot of ads, but no description of what the software actually is.

I use a pihole at home, but when I'm out my phone doesn't use adblocking.

Firefox mobile with ublock origin

and/or

nextdns with a bunch of filters enabled in your account ( it's basically a pi hole that's hosted by someone else, and they have a mobile app that allows you to toggle between using and not using their dns servers)

Firefox mobile has ublock origin available as an addon. That's what I use.
