A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?
? Firefox plus ublock origin works fine on the Mac. Unless you mean ios only?
Probably iOS. I use AdGuard and sideload a YouTube tweak to dodge most of the ads on my browsing experience
Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.
It’s not super easy but a pihole, with a vpn to always have your device on your home network, isn’t that difficult or time consuming to set up, and will block shit network-wide. No ads in apps, browsers, smart tv firmware, etc. unless it’s hosted within the same domain the content is accessed through (like Amazon's trash).
I’ve used that setup for years and it’s wonderful.
Firefox focus on IOS blocks all Google ads in my experience. There are some it doesn’t get but they’re not through AdSense
