If you are going to make the worst decision of your life, it might as well be terrible across the board.

Celebrate today with piss

Could be even worse: you could Drink a Bud Light Lime while wearing ridiculous shoes and taking a bite of everything on the McDonald's Dollar* Menu

My first thought! Targeted advertising works as designed.

Shitposts aside, it can be done. Changing habits is hard but possible with a lot of effort.

Hey habits are really hard to change, especially to change for the better! You can always start with a smaller scope, like "for this afternoon I won't be controlled by alcohol" "this next 5 minutes I won't hand to the tech oligarchs by looking at my phone" "for this meal, the sugar monopoly won't own me" and try to build up more and more of those segments over time where the worst people in the world don't have control over you

You can block in-app tracking and ads largely with DNS-based blocking.

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.

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.

Thanks, I just swapped over to an iPhone and was getting fed up with the fact that it doesn’t lower my have real Firefox with uBO, didn’t know about 1blocker!

There’s a version of uBO available for Safari now. https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/ublock-origin-lite/id6745342698

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