Hi there, please give this a read: > [@Ads on social sites and in apps are not blocked](https://community.blokada.org/t/ads-on-social-sites-and-in-apps-are-not-blocked/69): > > If you use Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or any other social app/site, you might see ads are not filtered. Advertisements on different social sites are usually provided from the same source from where you access the content you want to see. An ad blocker like Blokada cannot distinguish what is the wanted and unwanted content. It is due to the technology our app uses to block ads: it filters hostname resolution and cannot decide if that is used for advertisement or to provide real content.

Really, I remember the ads being filtered though in Instagram and Twitter 🤔 Does Blokada block game ads? I tried pornhub still get the continue to video pop-up on pornhub(both browser and app) Also when using the xvideos app, I get “Network error, please try again”, when Blokada is turned on. And yes, I did disable private DNS. ---

> Does Blokada block game ads? As long as they don’t provide both the ads and it’s online capabilities thru the same domain then yes, it should work in most. As for Pornhub & xvideos, once you visit them go to Blokada’s Host Log and allow or block the domains you canot connect to or the ones you suspect are providing you with ads. You could also bypass the xvideos app if you still cannot conect. ---
