I think maybe OP doesn't like kiwi's UI/UX

1. Create a free Nextdns account.
2. Add some blocklists
3. Use the private dns settings on your android to set the dns. (i think this feature is present in Android versions which are 9 and above)

Voila ! you have blocked ads without wasting your VPN slot.

As an added bonus you can also configure nextdns to block your specific phone vendor tracking as well.

If you are interested in trying different web browsers you can check out Fennec from F-droid or Brave browser. These are my go-to browsers on android.

I have not used IRC extensively. But i have used nibl.co.uk (for anime) a couple of times when I couldn't find torrents.

I have not used kbin yet. Is there any feature that really makes it worth using over Lemmy ? I'm curious as I want to try it out sometime.

P.S - I use Lemmy through wefwef

2 months ago I bought a regular samsung galaxy s23 and it's been running great so far. I expected MIUI levels of bloat, but surprisingly it is not that bad.

I had to disable a few samsung apps and for the most part, the phone stays out of my way and lets me do whatever i want.

I wish the s23 lineup gets good custom rom support. Would love to run a lean LineageOS / any AOSP based rom with MicroG on this phone.

I'm not an iOS user, but I have seen something like revanced which can be sideloaded.

The app was called uYou+ or something, i don't reacall the actual name.

I suggested Zoro to my friends and they have been using it consistently ever since. I hope the new dev team keeps it's original spirit even with the rebranding .
