telegram ads
As Telegram ads are getting more misleading and dangerous than ever (specially crypto ads) just wanted to know is there a way to block them? I'm mostly worried for my more elderly family members getting affected
There are Telegram ads?
They are only in public groups iirc
Yes, in large public channels there can sometimes be ads. These used to be contextual, but they aren't anymore.
Mind posting a screenshot? I've never seen the adverts
Use the open source client on fdroid
I haven't used telegram, but in general this is the correct solution.
They don't block Ads ( speaking from experience )
Telegram Ads aren't that terrible if you ask me, they're not behavioral, and easy to ignore..
I see no ads using the open source client.
I don't think there is a Foss client on fdroid at least that blocks ads
What ads are you talking about?
Get off Telegram, nothing good has ever come from that client.
In a lot of situations this is sadly not plausible. Here it is pretty much as dominant among younger generations as Whatsapp is among the older ones. Like, my uni group has all its communication there: technically could leave, but I would need far more organizational and social skill than I have now. So I just isolate it from private information and treat as public.
Maybe install Telegram FOSS?
TGFOSS doesn't remove ads. Infact, by the API policies you aren't allowed to do that as a client maintainer.
Killergram for Android, assuming you've either got a rooted device or LSPatch.
I remember there also being something for Telegram desktop but I can't find it right now.
Does the adguard dns still exist?
I don't think you can block first party ads using adguard dns
It does.
