I was planning to wait and see what Boost has to offer before deciding if I should pay $20 to remove ads on Sync, but seeing this has convinced me to delete the app for good. Even Reddit isn’t half as bad as Sync when it comes to trackers and shady ads.

    Honestly, I would suggest NextDNS to block ads within the app, so maybe you wouldn’t have to pay for blocking through Sync.

      Or do not consent to the GDPR request form. Only for EU citizens though.

          I don’t know for sure but it would not surprise me. It could also be a localized distro in play store, but could still be a way to trick that with VPN or region settings in Google.
