Mobile ads mostly if I had to guess. Little more difficult there, especially if you primarily rely on something like a pi hole at home that you can’t use on the go

Does revanced not work for that?

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 18 points 5 days ago

revanced still works for me although I've been getting some minor buffering issues recently

It has enough problems that I rather use YouTube in the browser (which has enough problems that I would rather pay 1.50/month but not 10 times as much).

It does but I think the effort barrier for that is just high enough for some to give up and pay lol. That and I don’t think revanced is on iPhone

You have stuff like "DNS66" on Android and "DNSCloak" on iOS, both of which allow you to do DNS based adblocking, even when using cellular networking.

It's very nice. Doesn't block all the ads, but it gets rid of a great majority of them!

Especially in mobile phone games.
