Voyager has been working great and the developer is very active.
This is my biggest problem with Sync. The dev regularly disappears for extended periods of time. It’s one of the reasons I have avoided dropping the money to get rid of the ads and pick up the lifetime ultra. If they were more communicative about what’s going on in the dev cycle, I think more people would be okay with it, but disappearing for months makes people frustrated and they come off rather entitled, which I’m certain frustrates the dev, and makes them not want to work on Sync, continuing the cycle.
I mean, I have no qualms with this, unless there are bugs and stuff waiting to be resolved. But I’ve not run into anything at all. I’m guessing the dev has other things going on in life and looking to make Sync sort of a passive income kind of project. I respect that. They might be working quite hard to make ends meet and do this in their spare time, however much that might be. I’d gladly drop the ad removal money if I thought the app was worth it. Which I’m starting to think. It was when it was for Reddit, but in those days it was cheaper.
Actually, there is one bug I’m experiencing. Ads will not load. There is just an empty square where an ad would be. But… I’m calling that a feature.
For me it’s that I don’t get ads in the first place. I always wondered what was up for that but the ads I’m supposed to get? Never showed up anywhere in Sync.
It’s weird and makes me think the app is poorly maintained

Im guessing that you are probably using a network level adblock (pihole) which does turn them off.
I actually don’t. Which is the interesting part to me.
Adguard’s pseudo VPN will achieve a similar effect
What you describe is the reason I switched from sync to boost years ago!
