            Honest question. Which ones? On mobile uBlock Origin/ Firefox and Cromite with easy list etc. don’t seem to have a problem with it. Mulch will hit the pay wall, but that doesn’t have ad blocking.

              I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.

                Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.

                For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like https://controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.

                If you want more finetuning look at the app https://www.rethinkdns.com/

                For bypassing pay walls you want something like Cromite (Chromium) or better Firefox, or a privacy fork like Mull.

                  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has been my model 😉 And Wired aside, it does work phenomenally well. But I will take a look at your suggestion.
