A simple network sniffer is enough to figure out what sites the app is connecting to, then you can just block them on the router.

If you are using Android, you can do that easily right on your phone with PCAPdroid, it's on the play store. No root required.

Filter is not block though, if you open the instance on your browser, you still see them. Only if you actually block them, they are gone.

Yep, confirmed. Not working for me either in Beta 30.

I'm pretty sure they do it to fly under the radar, since mobile clients are far more dominant than smart TV applications.

And there's also newpipe as an alternative to Vanced (or rather the other way around, I believe newpipe came earlier), and even a fork with sponsorblock integration. I personally vastly prefer them over vanced/revanced.

I'm using BubbleUPnp for screencasting.

You mean, only on Android TV. They don't have a phone app, and explicitly stated they are not interested in developing one.

So that's why you have 2 accounts ;-)

Workplace policy leading to inherent familiarity with the system.

Plus most people aren't heavy users or particularly tech-savvy. Installing an OS from scratch is already too much to ask for most.

Maybe put it on the github tracker as a feature request so you can be certain to get a reply?

2033, yes.

2034 felt disjointed to a point I wasn't even sure it was written by the same person. Gave up reading eventually, about 1/3 in.

The quick block is there, under "filter".
