AdGuard
- Adguard DNS... most queries are "Processed". What does that even mean?
I've been trying out NextDNS and comparing it to Adguard DNS (adguard-dns-.io), but unlike NextDNS, Adguard DNS' query log is quite vague, and I can't even tell if it's doing anything.
99% of the listed items in the Adguard DNS query log show up as "Processed", but the request clearly shows either advertiser or tracking as the categories.
It seems that unless I actually click BLOCK, the status doesn't really list these requests as Blocked, except for a very small number.
Is this normal behaviour? I assume any requests showing "processed" but not "blocked" are still going through, which is bad. NextDNS shows these same requests clearly as blocked or not, so at least I know that it's working.
Anyone have any thoughts, or clarification on how it works?
- Anyone find a way to actually get rid of ads in Aliexpress?
I'm talking about the ads that look like listings, but they have a small "AD" text on the corner.
These ads are often grotesque and offensive, and I'd rather not see them at all.
I've tried various block lists, but it's not removing them.
MORE CONTEXT: Sorry, I should have been more specific!
The gross/offensive ads seem to only be in the Aliexpress app (Android).
On the mobile and desktop browser version, I still get the "AD" listings, but they are of products related to things I've purchased or browse through (all bike related items). I'd like to get rid of those, too, but I guess the ones in the app are the worst type.
I do have Adguard for Android set to filter HTTPS requests from the Ali app, so I figure it's just a matter of finding the right filter. Hopefully, anyway!
- Thank you for creating this Lemmy community!
It's been incredibly frustrating to ask for help or share ideas since Adguard killed their official forum.
