I’ve been using Overcast (on IOS) for years and for the most part love it, but having explored the privacy reports in its settings, I’m wondering if there is any way to actually do something about all the trackers podcasts are using these days.

I’ve tried blocking the specific trackers with AdGuard DNS, but when I do that, the podcast refuses to play at all.

Using a VPN helps to obscure some of the gross invasively personal dynamic ads, but is pretending I’m in Amsterdam really the best I can do? Doesn’t feel like it’s actually addressing the problem :/

    proxy server of your choice? doesn’t it depend on where you are and how fast the connection is?

    i don’t use proxies on all programs

      That’s an interesting definition of “done”.

        it wasn’t “done.”, it was “done?”.

        can you see the difference?
