โฒ 56 โผ Adblocking for android phone (lemmy.world) submitted 2 months ago by Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 43 comments fedilink hide all child comments What would be your recommendation for blocking ads on an android phone? Do you use one and, if so, what's your 2 cents on what you're using? Where have you seen the biggest improvement (reduction) if it works well?
