Not technical at all, I work in Learning & Development at a company. I am always reading the comments and try to learn, but sometimes I have really no clue what you guys are talking about haha!
Yesterday someone was expleaning about adblocker and all the comments were like: "Yeah, who can live without it..." Well, me I guess? And I saw one that was highly recommended so I downloaded it, because why not try it out right? But apparently it's not for your phone. Or I didn't have the right app to support it on my phone.
I was thinking about asking it in the comments of the thread, but like you said: I think a lot of people here have a tech background and although everyone is very nice, I think the explanation might go over my head.
I don't want to give people the feeling I get when I'm trying to explain to my mom over the phone how she can e-mail a file on her computer. It can be very frustrating ;)
Just fyi if you want to block ads on your phone you can go to your WIFI settings and set DNS to the AdGuard website or some similar service. Google is your friend for step by step guides
I did it! Or something like it, I learned about DNS and I installed the AdGuard app and begun my free trial period :) Thank you!
You're welcome. You should also try without the app by setting it to something like dns.adguard-dns.com if the app is only a trial!
Thank you! I will start by searching what DNS is ๐
