    AdGuard used in your DNS, whether at device level or in your router can also accidentally make certain functions fail. A lot of activity that redirects you to a secondary sight may get blocked with zero explanation. Updating an e-reader library (Nook) was blocked. I’m not saying don’t use AdGuard. I’m just saying that if you run into issues with things that used to work, check to see if it’s AdGuard.

      Its so funny when seeing the teachers tell the kids “hey, avoid sugar. Don’t smoke” when a) teachers have a dedicated smoking area, and b) school provides free alcohol (2 drinks per person) at the end of every term.

        Haha, this is some European shit if I have ever heard it, They have a shift drink for the teachers, students too I heard in France and Spain but that was decades back.

        Here in the US we are so fucking uptight and searching for an excuse to condemn undesirables that we do not allow for freedom is such. Despite it being written into our fucking constitution.

    I just put these DNS servers into my device and most ads disappear with no effort…

    Not sure what tracking they do of me though.

    AdGuard DNS will block ads and trackers. 94.140.14.14 94.140.15.15

    It’s like watching boomers get mad on Facebook. Folks, you can visually see the shitty Photoshop.
