If you don’t want to use DNS for whatever reason. Then Firefox/Mull with Ublock origin for the browser only
Why not both?
ublock origin on Firefox, VPN that blocks ads, plus most apps I install without network permission
If you have root, then AdAway: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/
I still use AdAway with root
I got a new phone; first one I didn’t root, but god do I miss AdAway…
When I first bought the pixel 8 pro I tried to see if I could go without rooting. I came to my senses within a week
This, plus uBlock Origin, plus the pihole on my home LAN to which I am normally tethered via Wireguard when not on my hone wifi.
Many layers, make ogre stronk
Adguard’s default blocklist doesn’t block many in-app ads sdk. Make sure to add some 3rd party block list like Steven Black’s.
It should actually be
dns.adguard-dns.com, per the official documentationThe former has been working fine for me, but I’ll change it to your suggestion if I experience any problems.

Rethink DNS is an amazing app if you’re on android. Highly worth giving a shot! Even for the peeps on other solutions.
I also recommend this! Firewall, DNS blocking and VPN function, very powerful
Adguard dns and ublock origin in Firefox.
ublock is the only real answer for browser . Idk where else ads appear on android only heard of em never seen em.
I’ve been using DNS 66 for a while with no complaints.
Thanks! Been needing this
I use a VPN that has an ad blocker built in, like Mozilla, that blocks all the normal apps even without root.
Then I use Firefox with uBlock Origin for web browsing.
Mozzila has a vpn ?

Yeah, it piggybacks on Mullvad VPN, which is good and bad.
Very privacy focused, but there’s no Port Forwarding, so it can be a little limiting for things like seeding torrents.
Blokada 5 here. It works well enough even with the glitching.
That doesn’t sound good at all
I stopped using blokada after it started massively draining my battery in the background.
I get random freezes and have to clear data eventually to get it working right again. But it mostly works.
