This is running on my network on a raspberry pi. It's free. There's an annual subscription for AdGuard on my phone.
Doesn't AdGuard allow selecting blocklists?
I JUST suggested AdGuard to two non-techie normie friends, so y'all better not make me take it back! ;-) That said, I've been using it on my Pi-4 at home and on my Android phone for more than a year now.
Have you ever filed for your share of class-action litigation settlement money?
I just got another one.
*"To claim your $26, provide proof that you owned Acme Common Stock on July 17th, 2013. Fill out the 3 page application and... Accurate claims processing takes a significant amount of time..." *
Has anyone ever successfully completed this process--or even bothered to try?
THE FALL (2006) - We call it, "The best movie you've never heard of..."
I'm old enough to have seen it first-run. I loved it then, and it's still one of my Top 20 films of all time.
I was on campus when ‘Animal House’ debuted. It changed everything.
