Yeah, Firefox and ublock. Plus privacy badger, and Blokada5.
Still got me somehow. The ad showed up in an app, not a browser. Updated/added more blocklists.
EDIT: You were right! Get a gold star for that one. The Lemmy app I use was still set to open links itself, not the default browser. I forgot I’d changed it when I used Sync, but not when I switched to Connect! I still had many ads blocked because of the VPN.
I’ve been getting Lactaid ads alllllll over the Internet since reading that article.
Guess there is a new advertiser site that needs blocking …
That’s the conclusion I’ve arrived at for my next tv. I’ve had it with ads and tracking sneaking into everything so I looked up dumb TV’s. There were a few, and some I liked were business-only (that’s dumb) so I’ll get a cheap smart TV and never connect it to the internet.
I’m working on a Raspberry Pi for media and “smarts” but haven’t been thrilled with what I got working yet.
Yup, got that too for my home network. Though I suspect several advertisers have gotten wise and hard coded different DNS into their programs. I don’t see the requests I think I should on some devices. There is not a lot of troubleshooting when it comes to IPv6 and while there are many AAAA queries on my server, there are a higher percentage on the server I set up for my parents.
