Time to set up a pi hole on your local network and kill it at the source!
And then hear 10,000 times how her web site is broken by the ad blocker, and show her again how to disable it for the 10,000th time. Or is that just my hell?
That must be some janky-ass website if it gets broken by an ad-blocker.
Yep! Every damn time.
I can relate. I permanently removed all her devices when I still used it. Now I just use https://ovpn.se/en, it comes with ad blocker built in to the client.
That could mostly be you! 😁
My wife is on board with pretty much all of my shit in this area. That said, do I have exceptions in my pi-hole for a shitty mahjong clone's ad service? You betcha.
Of all the games infested with ads, your wife is subjecting herself to them for a common-as-Hell type of game that you could get a non-malicious version of from F-droid?!
That's just downright stupid.
I tried that, it seemed to break some sites she used. So she made me remove it. Yet she complains about Facebook and google knowing what she’s browsing 🤦♂️
