So, Telegram has launched horrible ads that look a lot like spam to me. At least in my channels it’s typically some crypto bullshit. So, I wonder if people know about alternatives to the subscription service for blocking them? Sadly, Forkgram won’t offer that option and it doesn’t seem to be allowed. However, I wonder if there are still forks out there which block the ads? Or do people know of alternative options?
While I’m not using telegram (and you should neither, it sucks and it’s bad for privacy), here are two options:
Change your DNS. If that’s the way they’re distributing their ads, they’ll be gone
Maybe Telegram FLOSS (F-Droid-Store) can help?
Telegram FOSS doesn’t remove ads anymore
I already use an ad blocking DNS, but that’s not how they distribute ads, sadly
