The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend?

        What phone? Never had an issue with private DNS on Android. Unfortunately IOS requires it setup on every connection, but works.

        Make sure you restart the app after applying settings, should pickup new DNS and poof, 95% of ads are gone instantly.

          I’m using Blokada. Would you consider Adguard to be better? And if so could you explain why? I’m not sure I see the difference.
