Yeah, uBO for android phones and 1blocker for iOS devices.. and only use browsers - not apps - to access shit online.

Tha ad's bullshit.

    pi-hole would've blocked this, you'd most likely still get the same pop-up area but it would be blank

    This is not necessary.

    Just use the adblocker dns service for your phone. Takes like 2 minutes, it's free, and you'll never see ads.

    That doesn't work with https ad though

    It does, dns happens before the request to the server happens. So instead of connecting to the ad-server the dns says 'the resource you're looking for doesn't exist' and the ad never loads.

    I'm sleep deprived and can't for the life of me decipher, what I meant there 😀. But I feel I have meant something

    There's another problem yet: a lot of ads nowadays use the main domain of the site as the source. So you can't block it without blocking the site as a whole.

    On Android, enable private DNS and set it to dns.adguard-dns.com.

    Slightly more advanced, but Lucky Patcher is still handy for getting rid of in-app ads. Don't use it on apps that can ban you tho (especially online games). DNS designed to block ads works too.

    Switch to AdNauseam, a fork of uBO that maliciously attacks advertisers in the background with no increased data usage on your end!

    My one beef with AdNauseam is that for some reason on my system, it acts really wonky on youtube. Otherwise, it's a gem.

    Huh, weird, what does it do? I can't remember ever experiencing any noticeable difference on YT when switching from uBO to AN!
