Google to remove all VPN ad blockers that don’t comply with their policy
There is no need to implement an ad-blocker as a VPN. It provides a strictly worse experience than implementing one via DNS APIs (as Blokada have done).<p>The only reason one may wish to implement as a VPN instead is to get a lot of data about users to sell. They otherwise provide less control, use more battery, are less reliable, and have privacy issues.<p>iOS even provides some good APIs for this that apps can hook into so that they don&#x27;t need to deal with networking at all. Much faster, and the app receives no data about network usage.<p>Edit: Misunderstood Blokada&#x27;s comment, they use DNS to do their filtering now.
