I'm not sure, ublock origin seems to work just fine.
Iām genuinely shocked that there are people out there that view ads. Between ublock and pihole depending on location I can barely think of the last ads I saw.
It's using apps on a non local connection that gets me.
You can still catch most of them using a blocking DNS service like dns.adguard.com but still some get through.
How safe is adguard? DNS needs to be trusted.
Ublock isn't going to block these ads. These ads are those little emails with the ad tag in your Social and Promotions tab, not banner ads or popups.
ok, I checked and I don't have any, but I don't live in the US.
Interesting. I didn't think there would be a difference.
I think it's talking about emails in the Promotions tab with the word "ad" in a box at the beginning of the subject line.
Promotion tab?
Also, if I ever get an ad via mail, it will be immedetly reported as spam. Haven't seen any ads outside my spamfolder for quite awhile.
Gmail sorts email by tab. Click the triple lines and you'll see Primary, Promotions, and Social. Basically Gmail didn't like the word spam, so they named the folder promotions.
Mine doesn't do that.
Interesting, I've seen that on desktop and mobile app for nearly a decade.
Nevermind I found it under the "category" tab beneath the bin. I don't think I've ever clicked on that before. I just need Inbox/Sent/All Mail/Bin/Spam and my custom labels. Everything else is just clutter.
That's interesting, my labels and inbox, outbox etc are all underneath those
I believe you can choose to have those enabled or not.
Edit: turns out this is exactly what the article tells you to do.
Apparently your adblocker is doing overtime
I've never seen any, but I only ever access it over IMAP.
