    If you don’t want to use DNS for whatever reason. Then Firefox/Mull with Ublock origin for the browser only

    If you have root, then AdAway: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/

      I use it without root and it’s fine. Not perfect, but at least you can disable it if you have to without rebooting your phone

        I use it with root, disabling it and reenabling it doesn’t require me to reboot my phone…

          Usually it edits the hosts file and it usually takes a reboot for it to take effect

            I wonder I’d its because of the systemless hosts magisk module that allows that without reboot. Dunno, I dont have to reboot even with changes made to my AdAway

      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.

      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.

        The 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

    Blokada 5 has been very nice to me, no root, and doesn’t use much battery (android tells me 4% after a full day). Only downside is that it counts as a VPN connection, so if you want to connect to another VPN you have to turn it off temporarily.

    Otherwise definitely Firefox with ublock origin

      Can you use a VPN at the same time as DNS66?
