So you've been able to avoid ada using a custom rom? If so please guide me in your mysterious ways lol

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you mean ads - it was less a custom ROM and more the fact that it was rooted and I used AdAway.

However I've stuck to AdAway out of familiarity, there are numerous other options out there that don't need root, DNS66, AdAway and Blokada 5 appear to allow rootless system wide ad blocking using a local VPN although I don't know how that works in terms of battery life.

I'm glad you like them 🙂 I'm sorry to be a pain, but is there a way to get them right side up using this site on a mobile browser?

I have no idea, I think you need to edit the picture or something and then upload? Post in today's DT, I remember a few people worked it out a couple weeks ago
