I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven't seen ads in a decade so it's a pretty wild contrast

I'd recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone's VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.

Does your app have an option to open links in the default external browser (which I would assume you have Firefox as)?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.

I haven't changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff "in" the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I'm not saying that's a good reason but it's why I do it

Sounds like you need a pihole.

To add more excuses to the mix: I'm currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(

But it doesn't bother me a ton so I'll just live with it for now
