You can install the apk from their website, it cannot be found on the Play store. It can block stuff at the DNS level. If you are on iOS then you can also do that and you can enable the extension for Safari.

I have started with PiHole, then played with AdGuard Home and loved it so much that it replaced my PiH. I kept it until I found Technitium, which can do all of those two can do and more as it can also act as an authoritative DNS. I would not recommend this to those not interested to really play around with DNS.

Long story short, I still have AdGuard on my iPhone but only use it with Safari as the dns filtering has been plagued by a bug and just drains my battery. The disconnect app can do that with little configuration to do. For pure DNS you could also get DNSsecure, I can pass you the link for iOS but it also exists on Android and it is open source :) https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/dnsecure/id1533413232?l=en-GB

This allows you to change the DNS of your phone so it will override Google/Apple or your ISP

That is only if you use it on a phone as it kinda runs like a VPN, right? They can’t do this stuff if you only use their DNS

Thank you!

Not sure why are you being downvoted. Brave search is actually pretty good

With all the SEO garbage, are G**gle results still relevant? I haven’t used it in years for anything serious.

Bingo

Can you use banking apps on it?

Yeah dude, I am not a fan of discord and resisted for years but had to do an account on a couple of servers… thanks for sharing those!

Why? What is the benefit?

Thank you!

Noticed only now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

By usable you mean they work just as well? Any trade-off you can find?

You made me chuckle :) True, if coming from macOS, Gnome can be familiar enough but the defaults are terrible. Even those used to Macs need to install/enable the basics like maximise/minimise buttons etc. I don’t understand why even a Gnome centric distro like Fedora doesn’t come with Gnome Tweaks installed by default… Let alone the fact that usually the average user will also install a bunch of extensions. That is why Ubuntu is arguably the one doing the better job out of the box: their Gnome is actually useful from the get go.

Good one XD

Discord

Yeah that is objectively sweet
