I got rid of the ads already systemwide with NextDNS, though I never had them in system apps (maybe a regional thing?). About root, I prefer to stay away from it for the security implications, but if I had a simple button to install DivestOS on this phone I would click it immediately
Not only security implications, it’s also the time sink and apps crying about Safetynet being unable to be passed I find the Pihole + browser extensions / Tampermonkey etc somewhat of a sweet compromise.
I keep getting nagged by someone to try either AdGuard or NextDNS on my Pi but also…lazy/busy at work :(
@ladfrombrad @QuazarOmega Root + trackercontrol + adaway does wonders

I think that’s a fine setup!
Also, isn’t Pihole the nerdy way to do it? I thought NextDNS was the lazy route XD
