Ads that can't be closed - here's the fix
Headsup
I know that most developers show ads in their apps... that's how they finance themselves.
But there used to be a close button on the ads.
Recently I've started seeing a new type of ad... one where I need to wait 30 seconds, and there's no stop or cancel button. I need to close the game (in my case my been-using-it-for-years backgammon game) completely, and restart it.
Solution
I tried a few ad blockers, and only one worked for me. Blokada. Of course, it's not in the App Store... h...

[Asus phones back](https://imgur.com/v9VDsHH)
When the ZF6 was announced a few months ago there was a lot of questions here regarding Asus phones, updates, bloatware, built quality, etc.
I've been using their phones for quite some years, I am kind of a brand loyalist for most stuff, I've using Asus parts since the 90s as I worked on PC servicing, then got into the laptops for my different work needs, routers for home/home office ...
