privacytools.io VS blokada

FYI, Privacy Guides is a shitshow. It was formerly privacytools.io[1], and in 2019, the creator[2] of privacytools.io stopped contributing[3] and a new contributor[4] immediately focused on donations[5], became the admin[6] and took control[7] of most assets, including donations but excluding the domain and Twitter account[8]. In 2021, the creator of privacytools.io launched a new privacytools.io[9] and added affiliate links[10], and the Privacy Guides team shut down r/privacytoolsIO rather than return it[11] to the creator. Like I said, a shitshow.

Yes, we know you're still mad we won't add Threema. It was thoroughly discussed in our old organization.

en 2019: Signal has copious privacy issues making it unfit for privacytools.io endorsement.

Signal is just another walled garden and has a lot of other problems too: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/779

Or the fork which is much more active these days https://docs.searxng.org/

In the past it Lukol served Google Ads: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/1557#...

Never heard of it. Fastmail apparently never made it on to the privacytools.io list for its geographical location. See here for some other recommendations. There are also malifence and posteo. I use posteo and mailbox.org. The main two weird things about posteo is that there is no spam folder (detected spam is rejected with no option to change this), and you can't use a custom domain (because they don't want to have any information on you/your name). Mailbox.org can optionally reject spam and lets you use your custom domain. I like it a lot so far.

Worth noting the "admins" of that site wrote the content for it, check for yourself https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/commits/master BurungHantu hadn't written anything really since 2016.

You can read about Blokada here https://blokada.org/ and their v6 will also be in your App/Playstore but as said is subscription only. Lucky Android users can keep scrolling down until you see v5 offered which is completely free (not in Playstore btw). Unfortunately v5 isn't available for iOS. It works though, you won't see another, just a blackout timer that runs for 35 seconds (which does also mean you wait 35 seconds for the few ads that only runs for 15 seconds).

But it's due to game? Or is it Vivo thing? Can you try with https://blokada.org (blocking ads system-wide trough DNS)?

here try this https://blokada.org/

If you use the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origins extension, it blocks almost every ad. I use the Samsung Internet browser with Blokada 5 and it's a nearly ad-free experience.

blokada.org

For those on Android, download Blokada 5. It's a free open-source systemwide adblocker app. Don't download Blokada 6 on the Play Store. It's a subscription cloud-based app. Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblocker apps in the Play Store. If you have a Samsung phone, Blokada 5 is in the Galaxy Store.
