Frequently asked questions about Ad blockers

Cybird and similar DNS-based blockers can block ads inside mobile apps and games by blocking known ad and tracker domains at the device DNS level. Key points:
- No extra app needed — you set a DNS profile (iPhone/Mac) or paste a Private DNS hostname on Android.
- Works on app traffic — blocked ad sources and trackers will disappear from network requests, so in‑app ad calls get stopped before they load.
If you want to test it, check network requests with dev tools to confirm common ad domains are being filtered.
Quetta’s AI-based blocker and similar tools can remove many sponsored posts and on-screen clutter, but results depend on the tool and the platform. Many blockers let you configure each social platform individually so you can tune what’s hidden or shown (SocialFocus).
Expect varying coverage by site; some solutions are adding on-device stats/visualizations so you can see what’s blocked in real time.
