This is the best way. If the cookie popup isn’t blocked, go in ublock settings and enable the adguard annoyances lists

Screensh

If it’s still not blocked do it yourself with the element picker (not zapper), takes a second

Yeah, tbf Ecosia is an alternative to Google and an ethical one on top of that, but not private.

I’d recommend it on a work system


For future installs, just get a copy of windows (10/11, depends on what you prefer) LTSC.

Comes with zero bloat preinstalled, it’s refreshing


That’s good, much more consumer friendly


No problem. Feel free to contact me for any information


If you live in italy you should know Banca Etica requires no mobile app, you cando everything from the web (on mobile too)


In my opinion, adguard is worth in two cases: if you need Firewall+VPN on an unrooted device (every other thing I tried was either Firewall or VPN, no chance of getting them to work at the same time), or if you’re installing it on a family member’s/acquaintance’s device, so that they have an on/off switch if something goes wrong.

Unless you don’t fit in one of those two cases adguard will do little to nothing for you


It’s not a matter of bypassing, it’s about achieving the same result by different means.

I don’t know what exactly adguard does once those settings are enabled, but a private DNS (or even adguard’s free public dns, if you don’t want to put in the commitment and prefer a “set it and forget it” approach) gives you both tracking and malware protection (I strongly suggest watching this video to understand what a private DNS does and how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUG57ynLb8I)

In general, I think DNS blocking is the easiest, quickest and the most effective way to block ads on your devices


Adguard app does block ads and trackers in the free version too, you just need to set up dns filtering and select adguard DNS. You can also create a nextdns account for free and run it through adguard to have more control over what you’re blocking. Screenshot_20230826_045613_AdGuardScreenshot_20230826_045631_AdGuard

In general, adblocker for browser > DNS > anything else.


Thank you. Fuck google, now and always


Anyone got a good explaination on what’s happening? Kinda OOTL here


Oh ok, so there are apps to record calls?


Pretty sure they pushed something system-level on Android too



Google killed call recording apps a year ago iirc

Call recording aside, the best combo I can recommend is simple dialer + yet another call blocker
