Alt textGuy trying to hold a fart in meme template with the text "POV: you just mentioned you use Boost instead of the myriad FOSS alternatives"

on-topic rantUse Jerboa if you want simple, go Voyager if you want modern and feature rich. Explore others if you want to find the best experience. Just stop supporting the only proprietary, ad-infested client.

off-topic rantIf you have trouble parsing the meme, this is a rare use of "POV" where the meme is actually from your POV and those three letters aren't just slapped there like "nobody:" might be.

I've never seen an ad on boost.

You probably paid for it, like I did

Nope.

eta:
Whenever possible, I block ads at the router with adblocking DNS.
This can be local, public, etc. Pi-hole, Adguard, NextDNS, unbind, privoxy.
Can also be device level.

Bottom line is I so rarely encounter ads, I'm shocked when I see other peeps' devices.

Boost's ads are non- intrusive. I don't notice them either when I used free version. But I happily paid for the no ads version.

I expounded on my curt reply above yours to provide a better answer.
