I understand that ads are necessary to keep things free, but do they really need to be inappropriate? Is there a setting i can choose? I also don’t look stuff like this up so it is not based on my search history [Screenshot_20260720_184021_Ribblr]

I think there might be apps you can get to block these type of adds with. But yea, ribblr should NOT have these adds i don’t agree with them especially if theres younger kids that use this app. Thought, i haven’t got any inappropriate adds most of them are for mobile games or candy.

Glad I have an ad blocker so I only get ribblr ads :sweat_smile:

hi! what you can try to do is use a private dns server! if you dont know how to do this, go onto settings, search “private dns”, select private dns and put in an adblocking dns server like dns.adguard.com . i use that one, should work for ribblr too i think.
