I don't think Boost is open source, and you can pay a one time fee to permanently remove the ads
oh, so that's why it has ads, they don't care about their users... alright... I'm not interested in this conversation anymore
HOW FUCKING DARE THEY NOT WORK FOR FREE, FLAIL THEM NOW
Other people do it. They also just work for donations.
On a side note, I recommend sideloading Blokada 5 to permanently block all ads in apps.
You can download it from their website: https://blokada.org/#download (pick blokada 5)
You have to sideload it because Google banned it from their store for being too effective.
NextDNS is much easier to set up. You don't even have to install it.
