I play a lot of mobile games on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, running Android 13). I am F2P, so as such I watch a lot of ads to get the in-game perks. I don’t mind watching the ads, but there are some ads I would prefer not to be shown for one reason or another (bugged, inappropriate, annoying, scammy, etc). I used to be able to click on the info of the ad and “report” it. Though this didn’t prevent the ad from being displayed again, it did give me a little satisfaction. This feature appears to have been removed and all I can see now is the Ad info.

I would prefer to do this on my phone, so it would work when I was away from home, but if it’s not possible, I figured I might be able to use PiHole to do it. I did run PiHole a few years ago, but I don’t know if I can use this to achieve my goal. Would it be possible to block specific ads only to my phone? I don’t want to mess anything up for anyone else in my household.

Any thoughts?
