What is recommended for blocking apps from showing ads and sponsored postings? I tried Blockada for Twitter app and I had to allow access to twitter.com so it didn’t block ads. I tried Adaway and I had to turn off or disable Adaway for Twitter app to work at all.
In Navi browser from F-Droid I can’t block ads either on websites.
For in-browser ads, I recommend Firefox with uBlock Origin.
For in-app ads, using DNS-based ad blocking (AdGuard DNS, NextDNS and others) will work with apps that do not run their own ad network.
Finally, for apps with their own ad network, you can give ReVanced a try: it can patch apps like YouTube, Twitter, Twitch and Instagram to remove ads or add usability tweaks. Just keep in mind that they can decide to restrict access to patched apps whenever they want or even ban you (Instagram is notorious for banning or shadow-banning people toying with their API).
I use blockada to catch a majority of the apps that serve up 3rd party ads. This won’t block ads that are hosted by the same companies that host the content, like twitter or youtube. The only way you would be able to block ads from those is using a patched app. revanced manager works for patching youtube, and its list of supported applications does indicate support for 10 different patches to com.twitter.android, however I have never tried patching anything other than youtube.
