A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How are people adblocking them on mobile?
Firefox lets you adblock.
a pihole can get you 90% of the way and it works in all apps and any other smart devices you have., but it doesn't work well if the site isn't using a 3rd party ad service (think YouTube, facebook)
My assumption was that at this point the majority of people are using the official reddit app, but I guess that's an option for now.
On Android anyway. No AdBlock (at least ublock) still on Firefox for IOS I believe due to platform restrictions. But would be cool if I'm wrong.
RedReader still works. If you're gonna look at reddit, I recommend it. You can even turn off all the interaction buttons, so it's like a "look, don't touch" museum.
I uninstalled it though. Reddit is in too terrible a state to bother with any longer, except sometimes as a search result, imo.
Edit: I'm speaking of android though. Idk if redreader has an ios version or not.
Which mobile? On Android you can use AdAway. A network level adblocker on your router can also take care of many ads for every device connected to it.
firefox + no-script on mobile is da way my dude
Blokada. Firefox with uBlock Origin.
