Ad Blocker
Oh I already hear the complaints: poor little devs must live on something (maybe I should integrate some ads with my books as well).

- ad blocking is digital self-defence
- ad blocking helps against the climate crisis

As Google has banned most of the ad blockers from Google Play, you might have to look elsewhere (not Elsevier). What has moved to F-Droid is already linked above, but there are more "hiding places":
- AdLock
- Energized Protection (Magisk Module)
- MoaAB
