Brave Adds Custom Element Blocking on Android
Brave now allows Android users to block specific web page elements via a new "Block element" feature in Shields. Accessible under Advanced Controls, it lets you tap and remove unwanted content. You can manage or reset blocked items and even add custom filters via brave://settings/shields/filters.

I made my #AdGuardHome configuration public.

This is my solution to both store #adguard conf in code and continuously deploy it on many nodes. I also proposed some solutions to easily gather metrics and switch off/on ad protection. Everything is written in README.

Summary card of repository cichy1173/adguard-home-cm-repository
Codeberg.orgadguard-home-cm-repositoryThis repository features OpenTofu code integrated with a Forgejo Actions Pipeline, designed to deploy and synchronize the configuration of AdGuard Home across all nodes.

AdGuard 1.0 is now available for Linux with CLI-based ad blocking, app exclusions, and proxy support.

However, as proprietary software, it lacks full privacy control.

For a better solution, I still recommend uBlock Origin — open-source, privacy-respecting, and feature-rich.

I was a bit gutted that my blogs were erased when my server died. I have re-written this one about my AGH setup

Perhaps it will help someone install a network wide ad-blocker or help improve their own setup. It isn't perfect but it does the job for me.
What I recall was important from the last time: I do not have or run it on a Raspberry Pi or equivalent. It's an old laptop running PopOS and a virtual machine running Yunohost.

Hey ya'll, mind I didn't have coffee yet and am after a night of mild case of clubbing, but...

... does anyone have experience with accessing web without ad-blocker etc.. and redirecting adds and cookies to /dev/null?

To simulate receiving them? Or something...

Does that even make sense?
