I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don't have the funds to pay for ultra and that's also fine.

But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.

Now I really don't mind the ads in apps if it's the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.

This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent...

Yes it can block ads for all apps but you need to get the premium version. If you just use the free license it mostly just works on browser apps.

If you are interested in this app then remember to grab it from their website directly and not the one on the Play Store. And if you ever decide to get the paid license you can grab a lifetime license on stack social at a discount.

You dont need the app at all. You can use Adguard's DNS server, and have all ads blocked in all apps. Even sync.
