With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don’t bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I’m on board with ads as I haven’t paid to remove but this specific style changes how I’m using sync now.
If I was not using Pihole, I’d gladly ditch Sync. While I think this is the best app around for browsing Lemmy, the business model and prices are fucking ridiculous.
Otherwise, I’d probably been using boost.
Thunder is great.
and if google admob/adsense is blocked, it just displays as a black rectangle, taking up space…
minor issue i guess
I was wondering what that was. I thought it was just an issue with comment loading and rendering.
Glad I’m using Adguard’s DNS
arent they already selling our data? at least the settings page seems to suggest it.
anyone can suggest a good FOSS app thats polished like sync?
Jerboa user here. It’s functional, though I still open sync whenever I want to search the platform for something. I haven’t been a fan of most updates (dev likes to change how votes are displayed without giving users the option to revert) but overall I like it
wait, you guys don’t use adblockers ?
Are there any free ones these days? I haven’t looked in a few years. Last I knew the free ones were all scams.
personally, I use NextDNS which offers 300,000 queries per month, it’s basically a dns server that doesn’t let your phone connect to ad servers. you can put it’s dns address in your phone settings, pretty easy to use.
if however you want something without limits, you can use dns.adguard.com (just put it in private dns settings in your phone.
that’s only for android though, Idk about iOS as I don’t own an iPhone but it should be possible on iOS too.
