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.

I wonder if uBlock Origin and other ad blocks will work against that crap. Not that I intend to use Reddit anymore anyway.

That is why they force you to use first party apps, ads in them can be almost impossible to block.

They can be blocked feom your home network, but most people don't even set up their own routers. And part of the point of the phone is you can take it outside. So, yeah. Most people won't even realize it's an option, let alone take that option.

Oh, then I imagine they would also be able to blocked by local VPN like netguard?
