I’ve been using PAX 3 extensively for the past 7 years and I honestly don’t know what they could possibly upgrade. If it broke, I’d probably get an identical one (if they still make them).

Nice.

No idea what’s that but it sounds… sticky.

AdGuard installs a small local VPN server on the device and routes traffic through it filtering it as per my settings. It can filter the apps I choose, has the same capabilites as uBlock Origin and more, while uBlock Origin can only filter content within a few select browsers.

I didn’t say I use DNS based blocking.

What if I microwave it?

Butter, peanutbutter and jelly?

Why are you telling me this?

I didn’t say I don’t block ads on the phone. Read my other comments here.

I use Revance Manager for patching other apps but youtube app is shit no matter how much you patch it. Prefer NewPipe or even LibreTube over patched Youtube app.

I use NewPipe for Youtube, there are no ads at all.

I use AdGuard for blocking ads phone-wide and if I hadn’t, Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker too.

Bottom line is I don’t see any ads without using uBlock Origin. Original commenter is “surprised more people aren’t using” it like it’s the only way to go, while in reality it usable only in certain scenarios. It’s best for PC but not for mobile.

For which mobile and what extensions manager?

I’m blocking ads phone-wide, I just don’t use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

I barely ever use PC for browsing web anymore.

Where do you shower? Do you have a job? If not, how do you get food, money for gas etc.?

The summary kind of makes it sound like there’s a switch in settings and poof! you’re back at stock android. But I imagine you need to flash the new ROM and start from scratch.

It’s been fighting King Kong.

Good VPN providers take certain measures to ensure your anonymity.

You can use uBlock Origin and other privacy add-ons to block tracking and a VPN to hide your IP address but if you’re logged in to a search engine’s account then everything you search is tied to you no matter what you do.
