knocks on door Good morning, Ma'am! Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, uBlock Origin?

Can you use it in-app? No? Thank you, I'm not interested. slams door

Give AdGuard a shot, it works on IOS and Android for native apps as it MITM all your traffic! _a random bypasser yells_

ps. Not sure if it works on instagram, but works fine on youtube and the like.

Doesn't help on the Instagram mobile app I'm afraid.

Oh, I forget that normal people still use mobile apps. I basically don't install anything that requires any permissions, which works well because most intrusive apps rely on Google Play Services which I also don't run.

Doesn't work, unfortunately. Ads are served by the exact same IP/hosts than the other regular feed items :(

I have every sympathy with the writer here, but they seem to have missed the obvious way to opt out, which is to just not use the website/app that is upsetting them.

It's possible that they would like to see photos taken by their friends. And Instagram is, like it or not, where those are being hosted.

Telling them "Use a different service, which your friends don't use." doesn't add anything useful.
