If Ad Blocking on Android is so easy why don't most people do it?

Two years ago, I found out that adding dns.adguard.com to the Private DNS settings on Android blocks ads in almost all apps and games. The only exceptions are apps like Instagram or YouTube, which serve ads directly from their own servers.

Still, most people are either unaware of this or don't use it for reasons I don't know.

Let me know in the comments if you didn't know about this hack, or if you choose not to use it willingly?

Avoid YouTube adds online (no installs or plugins)

So I have a work computer where I can’t install anything, goes for browser plugins too.

I use the YouTube front-end invidious (one of their https links) and you can also use piped and I am sure there are many more. Just wanted to tell anyone in the same situation. Not everyone can use the usual Adblocks.

Have mobile ads evolved?

Is it just my iPhone or more and more websites have figured out how to bypass adblock settings on a phone these days? I’ve installed both AdGuard for Safari & NextDNS for system-wide. Adblock test result came back at 97% but I’m still seeing ads on some websites and the number of websites/apps that do that is on the rise

Firefox + AdGuard now being detected by Prime Video

Firefox + AdGuard now being detected by Prime Video

https://preview.redd.it/8kq8mdgfqnbh1.png?width=1891&format=png&auto=webp&s=bea335fa5bca2bb3d43e57f483adf950676e0992

Until a few days ago, uBlock Origin was the only adblocker that gave me problems with Prime Video. Using AdGuard i was able to watch any video in Prime without ads and no detection.

Now im getting the same error that uBlock throws. Disabling AdGuard fix the issue obviusly but then i get ads.

The text basically says "Video not available, a problem exist to play this video, to get assistance visit blablabla dot com"

Any idea on how to bypass Prime Video ads now?

document.addEventListener('load', () => {

const btn = document.querySelector('.videoAdUiSkipButton,.ytp-ad-skip-button-modern')

if (btn) {

btn.click()

}

const ad = [...document.querySelectorAll('.ad-showing')][0];

if (ad) {

document.querySelector('video').currentTime = 9999999999;

}
