New research has found that blue light from your smartphone screen won’t keep you up at night. But you still shouldn’t doomscroll in bed—here’s why.

    I’ve not read the article yet, but I’m going to assume it’s affecting my sleep because I’m reading about how it’s affecting my sleep at 04:21 instead of, you know, going to sleep. Just a guess

            Honest question. Which ones? On mobile uBlock Origin/ Firefox and Cromite with easy list etc. don’t seem to have a problem with it. Mulch will hit the pay wall, but that doesn’t have ad blocking.

              I use Block This! on my Android device, which essentially a pseudo-VPN that blackholes ad requests (as well as some trackers and miscellany). Wired bounces me immediately if I have it enabled.

                Indeed, that is just an ad blocker. I looked at their github and it hasn’t been updated in 7 years.

                For good basic ad blocking you might want to try something like https://controld.com/free-dns which works well. No app required, just set it in your DNS on Android.

                If you want more finetuning look at the app https://www.rethinkdns.com/

                For bypassing pay walls you want something like Cromite (Chromium) or better Firefox, or a privacy fork like Mull.

                  “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” has been my model 😉 And Wired aside, it does work phenomenally well. But I will take a look at your suggestion.
