FWIW, a simple DNS ad blocker works for the NYT games app. Mine is behind pihole.

    Oh that's a handy tip. I actually just started using a pihole for my desktop and mobile devices very recently. Will have to figure out how to get my Synology's Docker containers to use it too.

    That said, I have to say I'd be a little surprised if it fixed this. I had a quick look at the browser's network inspector and it seemed as though the requests are coming from the same domain?

    Hmm, can't help there. All I know is I didn't see ads on the Android app behind pihole, but there might have been an empty screen to click through. I've had a paid account for a bit, though, and maybe something has changed.
