minus-squareBrumefey@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·13 hours agoYou should add Brave on iOS to the list. Never seen any ad with Brave.

minus-squareSchwim Dandy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 day agoI read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
minus-squarechinchillas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 hours agoAmazon Premium started this trend. They’re shameless.
minus-squarestrict0768@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 day agoI believe you’re thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.
