A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You need to start using uBlock Origin my friend.

If on Android, AdGuard is a system wide adblocker which works amazingly well. No root needed, a bit pricy for a lifetime license, but 100% worth it imo

I just use Ublock and Firefox, but how much is AdGuard?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's a pretty sweet combo, but yeah, adguard will take care of banner ads in apps too. There is a free trial for 1 or 2 weeks, other than that I think they have a monthly license, or a lifetime for around 100$. It's quite a bit for an app but considering what it does, I do not regret at all. You can use it on multiple devices too. At the very least I would recommend the trial to see if it's worth it for you

Sometimes I can't access sites when it's running.

You can turn it on/off per site.

I just don't bother with those sites, ads are a security threat.
