I took a glance at the list in BadBlock+ and there are a ton of things I’m glad they’re blocking, and a few that I am not. They have grafana.com in there, e.g. I intend to allow sites when needed but will keep the file in use.

So, tried again in my phone and its uBlock Origin in Ironfox that’s complaining. Odd, because I have the same extension in my desktop PC.

Thanks. It goes in just fine on my desktop, so there’s something else on my phone that didn’t like it. Not sure what, all good for now in any case.

(My ad blocker doesn’t like *.techspot.com. Is it OK or are they shady?)

IMO, I think my answer here is really the same for all of my self-hosted apps: I want to control the flow of the data myself and not be upset when an app we use every day is retired or changed or just enshittifies over time. And this way, I know nobody is in between me and the news publisher. They can see what I read but nobody else is watching over that process in the middle.

I was a loyal Inoreader fan for many years before switching to FreshRSS on my server and I won’t go back. That’s a great service but self hosting any app is just better.

Thanks for the heads up
