Goodbye to Grindr Ads?

Post by Jun »

I found that the following Android settings change was very successful in reducing Grindr ads.
I've not yet tested it on a wide range of applications, however it's very easy to toggle back to the previous setting, so it seems low risk.
Google should find the iOS equivalent.

Note: This has nothing to do with problems accessing this board yesterday, as I discovered this after those problems.

1️⃣ Open the Settings app. 2️⃣ Go to Connection & Sharing. 3️⃣ Enter More Connection Settings. 4️⃣ Tap on Private DNS. 5️⃣ Select Private DNS provider hostname. 6️⃣ Enter the following DNS address:

dns.adguard-dns.com

7️⃣ Save the settings and exit.

I discovered this after a friend bought a Xiaomi phone and initially that had problems with adverts everywhere including where you don't normally see them. With the help of google, we made a number of settings changes to fix that.
I tried this one on my Pixel.
