Simple solution. Get DNS66 from the F-droid site (not the Play Store version that wants a subscription). That takes care of the ads in all my apps. It inserts itself like a VPN, filtering all Internet traffic, blocking the ad servers.
or NextDNS or Adguard
AdGuard does the same. All I see is "sponsored content" and keep scrolling.
Yup. Maybe the author still makes money from them even if they are blocked by our dns servers. Hope so, would be a win win.
Nope he gets nothing. If the ad fails to load then there is no money to be gained by the developer.
Would be nice if it was possible to load the ad but not view it, getting the best of all worlds.
Personally I'm more for using a custom DNS server to block ads.
I was using Blokada 5, but found that it used a bit too much of my battery.
Now I just set my DNS to dns.adblock.com, and it gives me the same result.
Mullvad VPN also includes the ability to block all ads at the DNS level, so if you don't already have a VPN (or if you're not happy with your current one), I highly recommend it. Great VPN, great speed, great company.
Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad's servers so it offers pretty much the same QoS but some of it goes to a non-profit that develops and supports Firefox, funds white hats finding and patching bugs in the Fediverse. and fights for an open web.
(It also features DNS-level ad blocking.)
Used DNS adguar before , now I use proton VPN which has it built in with netshield
Or RethinkDNS
