You won't find anyone who tries to steer clear of MS more than me. I dropped them when Vista came out. Try to avoid them or their products whenever possible.
If you use Magisk as root solution leave the AdAway settings at default (/system/etc/host; no symlink) and make sure to enable "systemless host" in Magisk Manager (actually a module). After rebooting AdAway should create a new host file.Hey,
After updating my op6t with new OTA i cant get to work adaway, first it starts with not enough space in system/host, then i change location and we have symlink missing after creating symlink and restart problem persist

YouTube has been a problem app for a long time. Possible you updated or something. Most people use alternatives. This has been discussed many times in this thread.suddenly today youtube started to show ads even though adaway looks like its working , i never had any ads before with adaway.
anyone else experiencing this ?
The other common choice is Vanced: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-youtube-vanced-edition-t3758757
Also, As has been stated many times in the thread, and would of been found with a simple search, you cannot block youtube ads with a hostfile.

Could be your host fileSince few days apps which did not show apps have started showing ads. Anything broken?

That said I'm not as fanatical about it as I am with Facebook. When it comes to Facebook I tell people "it's evil. Kill it. Kill it with fire".
Now if GitHub was owned by Facebook I'd agree with you. If it had been originally developed by MS I might agree as well. But they bought it and by all accounts don't want to mess with it since they know the developers using it would just leave and go over to bitbucket or gitlab.
No judgement... Especially when you just state it flat out. Lol. Show no shame, get no judgement. In my book anyways.Alright OK, I'll make an account tomorrow, just so I don't surrender my sould to Bill Gates for no real reason, has anyone else reported this bug ?
OK, bug reported:
https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway/issues/1241
Another question, is it normal that I'm still seeing ads on some adult (Hentai, yeah, don't judge) websites ? I'm not seeing them on my PC (Firefox, uBlock Origin).
Ublock is available as a plugin on Firefox android. It works differently than Adaway so it can block some things that Adaway cannotAlright OK, I'll make an account tomorrow, just so I don't surrender my sould to Bill Gates for no real reason, has anyone else reported this bug ?

It never crossed my mind that I could just install uBlock on Firefox for Android XD
Done, problem solved !
Most probably an android problem. Maybe open an issue report on GitHub.I use Adaway non-rooted via VPN on a xiaomi redmi note 13 pro+. It works fine, except that it does not automatically start after a reboot. Any ideas why not?
I did:
Ever since I set the Always-on VPN, I get a message after reboot (before providing the unlock code for the first time): "Disconnected from always-on VPN — Change network or VPN settings".
- Selected "Background autostart"
- Set Battery saver to "No restrictions"
- Set Always-on VPN in preferences
- Set Block connections without VPN" in preferences
Adaway is supposed to start automatically after a reboot, right?
Thanks for helping!
It's always blatently (NEVER automatically )asks me on a data clear, just tried it and gotI have been using Adaway, both rooted and non root versions, for several years. My phone broke last week, and while I wait for a replacement I am using a borrowed stock Oneplus 9. It is running Android 14, with no other VPN apps. When I install Adaway, it installs the root version, so I get a systemless host error. It used to install the correct version automatically, is there any way to force it to install the non root version?
GitLab, like GitHub do not set LastModified HTTP header so update status is not supported... yet!Is anyone using a hosts list hosted on Gitlab? It keeps showing "Unknown update status".
It works well here. I failed to reproduce as I change the HTTP client library and how I use it.Hmm, not working for me for this URL, v4.1.0 shows something like not updated in -360 days (some large negative value). Can you please see if you can reproduce?

Not really. You could choose a lot of different mode.All the F-Droid apps I know of have manual push updates to the store.
Isn't automatic build basically for nightlies?
Thank you so much! :highfive:I exist still... do you know what i have to do to transfer ownership? if i edit project it doesn't let me change the primary author so i assume i have to PM some higher up to make this happen?
Thank you too!
