Android still gets pandora ads - i get they may be tricky w/ their strategy but it can be beat right?  
After all, using adblock on chrome (desktop) i get no ads.

I tried blacklisting URLs based on this post; but still getting ads.

Unrelated question - how do you make suggestions for "master" lists like gravity? for example - it seems adserver.pandora.com is not in the default pi-hole ad blocking source lists yet.
