Nope. I've successfully avoided most digital ads my entire life thus far. Block 'em all. Plus I don't watch Shorts etc on any platform current day or long defunct apps in the past.
I read a ton still, and on paper for the majority of that. Guest room is full of book shelves. Some digital through epub / Moon+ Reader paid version of the app which... removes ads, haha. Not that I'd see them with TrackerControl installed, but the screen space waste blank ad bar would remain.
Stuff out of my control offline is it and it's just annoying instead of detrimental. The gas station pumps adding obnoxious screens is the most infuriating new thing so far. I show up to movies later to miss the pre-rolls which is easy now with assigned seats.
Thats awesome. Aspiring to be you.
Thanks for mentioning TrackerControl, it is a true game changer!
Been looking for such an app for years! 🤍
Link broken
Works for me...
I've just installed it and suddenly Komoot has started behaving itself. Isn't that interesting.
No problem! It can be a little aggressive at times, but it's easy enough to whitelist stuff. For example it blocked some YouTube ReVanced or Piefed/Lemmy thumbnails I noticed by default on my end. I'm running GrapheneOS for mobile.
Just in case you run into something broken and aren't sure why lol.
if you can get something long and slender and relatively strong you can usually destroy the speaker.
I used to lol, but now they use the screens with the tinny awful built in rear mounted speakers you can't reach.
