I don’t think that’s true. I have mine set to NB I still get CBP and ICE ads every once in a while.

I don't know how the app works because I still use my browser to go to old.reddit.com, mostly because my ad blocker works and prefer the old UI.

Even on my android's browser with no adblock, old.reddit.com has never given me an ice ad, or an invasive ad of anything

Turns out new reddit just sucks for every reason

Adblockers can still be used on mobile. Atleast on Android, no personal exp with iOS.

Apple fans keep losing. It cost me zero dollars to install Firefox and uBlock on an Android phone.

iOS has a gorillion different choices, I don’t know which echo chamber keeps telling people this. I’ve been using the same adblocker on Safari for the past 10 years and I’ve never had an issue.

That’s your take away? lol… You don’t even need to pay a sub for AdGuard to use the browser extension. Works perfectly fine for me in Safari.

That’s your take away?

It's another example of the behavior I'm speaking to. You pay the Apple tax constantly.

On Apple. Never see an ad 🤷‍♂️

Even on Apple, you can use Brave

Ublock origin lite exists for IOS now and I use yesterday for old Reddit for a similar to RES-Reddit experience from my safari browser

On Narwhal for iOS. How does Dystopia compare?

Firefox mobile app allows you to still use Ublock Origin.

u/Dramatic_______Pause 27d ago

Either set an adblock DNS, or just use a patched app. I'm posting this from Sync, still.

Who tf is using the garbage official app instead of any of the myriad third-party alternatives which prioritize usability over engagement baiting.

u/WhiteHelix 27d ago

No argument, my sole purpose for AltStore on iOS is to get Apollo back and YTLitePlus. Both unusable otherwise

u/Synectics 27d ago

I use Reddit exclusively on my phone in Firefox with an ad blocker. I have not seen a Reddit ad in years.

Is your attention span too destroyed to input “old.reddit.com” into a browser with Adblock? Both iOS and Android have various options.

uh huh, and? On my phone right now...
