Google is spoon-feeding fake “Shark Tank approved” weight loss gummy candies to innocent people — and making money doing it.

    Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

        Probably iOS. I use AdGuard and sideload a YouTube tweak to dodge most of the ads on my browsing experience

          Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

      It’s not super easy but a pihole, with a vpn to always have your device on your home network, isn’t that difficult or time consuming to set up, and will block shit network-wide. No ads in apps, browsers, smart tv firmware, etc. unless it’s hosted within the same domain the content is accessed through (like Amazon’s trash).

      I’ve used that setup for years and it’s wonderful.

      Firefox focus on IOS blocks all Google ads in my experience. There are some it doesn’t get but they’re not through AdSense
