Viber Desktop Ads

_Kaiser_

Hey all,

I suppose this could as easily go in the Windows forum, but technically you can't use it on Desktop without having it as a mobile app so thought I'd try here

I've previously blocked Viber's Desktop app from displaying large and intrusive ads/videos in the bottom left corner of the window by editing the hosts file, but as of version 11.4.0 it seems they're back

Anyone else seeing this, or know what changes need to be made in the hosts?

Alternatively, are there any reliable sources to get the previous versions? There's lots of sites offering links, but nothing I'm sure I'd trust

Cheers
