Its nice but its an ad supported experience, I'd rather just pay for the app than pay a monthly/yearly subscription. Good new option, just not one I'll be using specifically.
Use private dns which blocks ads. I am using that and there are no ads.
Great idea! Is Adguard still the all around best?
Yeah
Yeah.
We said it the same time XD
NextDNS is more customizable and less Russian.
A lifetime purchase option has been added. A little pricy though imho.
for how long?
Permanent.
The subscription model is not a great idea considering lemmy is not as popular as reddit.
I hate ads and will never download an app that has ads for a platform that doesn't have ads, just so I have to pay to get rid of ads (which of course includes tracking you for the best ads).
"No added ads" is a non-feature.
I understand people wanting to support the dev, but is their code so bad that they really have to add ads to make money? Apollo never had ads.
If you read my comment you know I never said I expect anyone to work for free. Don't put those words in my mouth, if it is what you are thinking yourself.
Yes I prefer up front payment over ads (in the EU you have a right to withdrawal your purchase if you regret).
I prefer not having tech at all over having Google's ads. Even 1 ad before being able to remove those ads, on an ad free platform. Any developer working with Google ads is not trustworthy.
Instead, support and donate to your instance. Those people work just as hard if not harder.
