Temu "surprised" by the lawsuit, plans to "vigorously defend" itself.

    I think it’s the Boost app.

      I see; I can’t imagine willingly submitting to ads, but whatever works for them.

        Yeah. Boost itself is great though. Well worth the couple of bucks to get rid of the ads forever.

      I use it too. Tried a few different ones and like boost the best. I finally just paid for the non-ad tier. One time cost of 3.99. I would have been turned off by a subscription.

        Yeah boost is definitely good, it was my main app until a few months ago. Recently I have been trying Connect, which is another great app.

        Connect has improved a lot since I first tried it, also doesn’t have any ads. But all things considered - Boost is bit more polished than connect.

          What’s wrong with voyager? Its already ad-free.

          Seems so strange to choose to inject adds over top of lemmy by choice.

            And it has come a long way too. In fact, I just donated since it’s struck me how solid of an experience it’s been.
