More specifically voyager (aka wefwef). It seems to be based on chrome for it’s backbone but is it possible to get it to use kiwi or something to use my extensions and ad blocking? News articles are becoming unreadable on some sites as they’re 75% ad space.

    Have you tried setting up a PiHole on your home network? While I don’t use Voyager, most display ads do not show in the WebView for the app that I’m using to browse Lemmy due to being blocked by my PiHole.

      You can also use NextDNS.io without any self-hosting required. I switched to NextDNS because it keeps working on my iPhone even when I’m outside my home network

        Right, another good option (and easier) for OP who may not have hardware laying around to leverage for a PiHole.

      Using on mobile, I’m typically…mobile so that’s not an option most of the time. Also PiHole can break sites that require ads to view, and my spouse uses a lot of those sites for her job on a work computer, that can’t use extensions to bypass.

        As Robolemmy stated, you can set your mobile device to use a specific DNS server that has ad blocking built into it, that way only your device/client is affected and not the whole network. That and it travels with you when you switch to mobile data.
