I watched two ads just to get rickrolled.

Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.

It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah I got rickrolled right away.

How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

This is the way.

She wouldn't, that's why she bought an iPhone, because "it just works!".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So then it really shouldn't be too shocking for the person I replied to.

im presuming not many mothers who dont understand the difference between an app and a webpage are on lemmy.
