minus-square@plexnose@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish26•1 year agoiOS users have plenty of options here too AdGuard Pro (paid) AdGuard DNS (free) other free dns blockers - NextDNS, ControlID etc Safari addons browsers with blocking built in (eg brave) VPNs with ad blockers built in DNS and VPN blocks will work on most apps and all browsers. I prefer Asguard dns and then Safari extension or Brave
minus-square@docteer@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoI would not trust adguard as it is a russian company that nobody knows what it does to your data
minus-square@Showroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish7•1 year agoThey are locsted in Cyprus, and in fairness, they’ve got a much better reputation than most privacy/security companies out there. Plus, depending on the service, adblocking is done locally.
minus-square@docteer@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish4•1 year agoI mean adguardDNS. That can raise some questions. And as for Cyprus, many russian companies are based there just to avoid sanctions. That means nothing
minus-square@Showroom7561@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish5•1 year agoOf course, any DNS has the potential for abuse, but there’s no reason to not trust them vs any other DNS provider out there. Like I said, their reputation is stellar in the privacy world, and that means more to me than where they are located.
minus-square@plexnose@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoI beleive its in Cyprus now - but fair point - NextDNS might be a better option in that case
