The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? (lemmy.ml)

    What phone? Never had an issue with private DNS on Android. Unfortunately IOS requires it setup on every connection, but works.

    Make sure you restart the app after applying settings, should pickup new DNS and poof, 95% of ads are gone instantly.

    It's on a Fairphone 3 on Android 13. On Wi-Fi Private DNS works perfectly, but as soon as I switch to 4G the internet connection don't work anymore. As soon as I reset the private DNS to default it works as intended again. That's seems to be a carrier issue.
