A place for Disscussion ad blockers and internet advertising culture

adblock and luna just eat battery and do not work

2023-01-22T11:08:36+00:00

I have a Samsung s9, I prefer to use the YouTube app for music to play my likes videos while driving to work for a 4 hr commute. Neither Luna or adblock have worked as described. Still getting ads on the app. Changed VPN locations, just to get different ads. Some even from different countries. I've uninstalled and re installed, used different base browsers, nothing has worked. Does any adblock work for the youtube app?

my internet browsing experience has gotten way worse after installing AdBlock cause now I just can't access a bunch of internet sites who all ask me to disable my AdBlock first before I can view content on said site

2023-01-19T20:17:55+00:00

I just dk what to feel. at first I thought that installing adblock would be great. but I still get youtube ads and twitch ads, and now my browsing experience is even worse because I cant access a bunch of websites anymore. they all ask me to disable my adblocker first before going in. I just feel like there was no point in me even installing it in the first place? idk . or maybe I am being ungrateful I don't know.

Adblock for redirect and popup ads on Android browser.

2023-01-18T13:43:54+00:00

There's this website I like to watch movies on but it is riddled with annoying popup and redirect ads. I've tried using AdBlock, it only works for banner and popup ads but doesn't do anything against redirect ads. Are there any (preferably free or open source) adblockers that could work against redirects?

Adblocking request (Android)

2023-01-17T09:08:40+00:00

Been wanting to know how to block ads for the YouTube and Spotify apps, along with an adblock improvement for Opera GX if possible, since the current one it has sucks.

In mind of the YouTube app, I've tried ReVanced, but it keeps failing to patch. Maybe a different free solution or a more stable version of ReVanced would help.

Stop Using Luna VPN

2023-01-16T22:07:13+00:00

Luna VPN is kinda a recuring theme in this sub. Their most promintent (blessing and curse) feature was their use of a MITM proxy to preform ssl intereception to block ads. On one hand this allowed them to block ads on hulu/youtube (normally this is dificult to do at a dns level since these sites use the same domains for serving videos as ads meaning nuking the domain breaks the app). On the contrary it means they can also see the contents of the websites you browse.

Here is an example of bank info that could be seen. I used a free open source program called mitm proxy to get this (similar to the approach of luna vpn).

By the same token they could steal login credentials/moniter other apps in a similar fassion.

Now lets say you don't care about your literal web contents being monitored by a shadey company, another reason not to use them is well their app is pretty bad at blocking ads now. After being pulled from the app store and google play once the new version removes the mitm capabilites meaning it doens't block hulu or youtube ads anymore (its only good feature).

As per alternatives on ios and android I would strongly consider using nextdns. They do not sell data like luna and don't have a mitm proxy like luna vpn (trusted by chrome and firefox). Adguard is also another good pick though they give you a little less control on the filters/whitlists you can use.

On android you have a few more options from private dns to local blocking (a great video by howtomen):

Finally regarding youtube and hulu. The best way to block youtube ads is by using a modded client.

For ios use uYouPlus sideloaded via altstore or sidestore. Main benefits is in addition to blocking ads uYouPlus allows background video playback, downloading videos offline, and blocking baked in ads via sponsor block.

https://altstore.io/

https://sidestore.io/

On Android use revanced:

As per hulu I made a old thread tutorial on how to block it on android (sorry ios users your out luck here) using firefox or kiwi (fork of chrome):

Is a VPN built-in Adblocker safe? (Surfshark VP)

2023-01-07T21:54:47+00:00

I use Surfshark VPN and it has a built-in ad blocker. Is it considered safe or could it be a key logger?

I did not have to give it any permission when I activated it. I'm concerned because I read that some ad blockers, especially those closed-source, could be key logger. Surfshark claims to be open-source but I don't have enough knowledge to verify this.
