What would be your recommendation for blocking ads on an android phone? Do you use one and, if so, what’s your 2 cents on what you’re using? Where have you seen the biggest improvement (reduction) if it works well?

    Not seeing my particular setup listed yet. Morphe and Firefox with ublock of course. But I also have a pihole running at home and a tailscale connection with the pihole configured as DNS. So I have pihole blocking even on my mobile data connection.

    Tailscale was initially setup so I can access Actual Budget when not on my LAN, but pihole on the go is definitely a big plus.

      I tried that (tailscale -> pi-hole) but experienced terrible lag and drop-outs while surfing on mobile, probably due to the raspberry pi being overloaded or more likely my son playing Fortnite and saturating the connection

        There are public DNS servers that can filter for you. Control D and Adguard.

        I don’t get why people recommend PiHole.
