I was planning to wait and see what Boost has to offer before deciding if I should pay $20 to remove ads on Sync, but seeing this has convinced me to delete the app for good. Even Reddit isn’t half as bad as Sync when it comes to trackers and shady ads.

    DuckDuckGo app, it’s got a feature to block trackers across your phone. It isn’t a VPN but you turn it on as such. I use AdGuard’s DNS in my phone settings to block ads and trackers instead. Paste this link in your custom DNS field

    dns.adguard-dns.com

      How do I use this without disabling my firewall app? (NetGuard) I get an error saying that Android will only let me use one VPN at a time.

      I’m not getting rid of NetGuard unless DDG can block apps from accessing the internet completely by default, like NG does (including system apps cause they spy on you too).
