Add an ad blocker by default.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When viewing a blog, website or video, it ALWAYS gives me a big dumb ad and it's soo annoying. So maybe add an ad blocker to destroy those ads?

Describe the solution you'd like, including relevant patches or source Add an ad blocker by default? Like connect it to brave's ad blocker or ublock origin? Cuz it will be very useful when browsing the web for privacy and other stuff :D.

Did you read the FAQ? https://thorium.rocks/faq Yes I did

I don't know what version of Thorium you are using. Recent desktop versions have embedded the development version of ublock origin, which you can find in the browser.

I'm using the android version of the app. Also I found another bug for the android version and it keeps on crashing when I open it. I use linksheet to clear any trackers but I think this just broke thorium. Now it keeps on crashing and the only way to fix it is to clear all its data. Mind if you fix that?

I don't mean adding support for extension. I want you guys to add an ad blocker preadded. Not like an extension. Like cromite, they added a built-in ad blocker without installing an extension.

That would involve a lot more work... Try using a system-wide ad-blocking private DNS instead.
