Won’t stop google from putting in ads in android apps
Tempfixes are good, independence is better
We need a safe home for ReVanced and to give google less of an argument for removing as it would be ran on a Linux phone os
Netguard is also great. I set it to block all apps network access by default, and have a whitelist with apps that actually need it. It has significantly reduced the amount of ads and tracking significantly from my phone.
I have a pihole as a DHCP server. Easy does it.
Sorry but thats not true. A lot of seevices bake ads into their video signal. Neither a dhcp nor a dns can change that. You need to have something that reads that signal and decides on that.
Ads have been in Android apps for 15 years, you can generally block them all with Private DNS
