A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Anyone got any experience with AdAway?
AdAway is the best choice if you're rooted.
Some banking apps might break, but the DNS request log will help you debug and put the necessary domains on a whitelist. Or you can just google it.
What if I'm not rooted?
I use it not rooted, on both an android tablet and phone. Haven't run into any issues, it uses a VPN to block the ads
Edit: there was one issue where youtube wouldn't update the watch history, to fix this just allow s.youtube.com on the allow list
