    I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven’t seen ads in a decade so it’s a pretty wild contrast

      I’d recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone’s VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.

        Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.

        I haven’t changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff “in” the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I’m not saying that’s a good reason but it’s why I do it

            To add more excuses to the mix: I’m currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(

            But it doesn’t bother me a ton so I’ll just live with it for now
