Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week (arstechnica.com)

Reminder to switch browsers if you haven't already!

  • Google Chrome is starting to phase out older, more capable ad blocking extensions in favor of the more limited Manifest V3 system.
  • The Manifest V3 system has been criticized by groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation for restricting the capabilities of web extensions.
  • Google has made concessions to Manifest V3, but limitations on content filtering remain a source of skepticism and concern.

Can't use my VPN and adguard at the same time iirc, unless android has two active VPN "slots" now. Can't bring a pihole with me 24/7 either as much as I would like to.

There's always nextdns.io that can be configured to use ad blocking filters on the dns level. You can set it up on your phone as well

Can I use it in conjunction with my normal VPN? AFAIK android has only one active VPN slot available at a time.

[–] Cyberpunk3000@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes because there is no need to setup another VPN. You only configure the DNS settings (Private DNS). I know that Mullvad on PC has an option to use custom DNS server
