I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!

EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA

I’ve been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.

Me too, which makes Sync an endless scroll of black squares where ads should be. No thanks, Connect it is.

You might need a better adblocker. With AdGuard I see an empty box from time to time. It’s in the colour of the background.

I use nextdns and I don’t see any blank squares. It just looks like it’s ad free.

Well for my phone I used RethinkDNS before I rooted it again. After rooting I use AdAway.

Use a pihole as your DNS server. Applies to all the devices in your network.

I just ditched apps that show ads so now I don’t need a system wide adblock on my phone or computer. Ublock Origin in Firefox is enough
