You're getting a lot of benefit out of running the desktop site with an ad blocker. App users aren't so lucky.

DNS based ad blocking my friend. System wide

It stopped working. They figured out a way around it 😢 Fortunately I found a cracked version of the premium APK so now I get ad free and unlimited hearts without paying a dime (I didn't necessarily care about the unlimited hearts but the ads were fucking obnoxious). I might still look into another system though because they keep reshuffling the format, and I don't feel like I'm progressing.

And I'm not using anything not available to app users, unless you're using IOS but at this point, I think you have others problems to worry about experience wise overall
