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 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
I still use AdAway with root
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
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
Adguard dns and ublock origin in Firefox.
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
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
ublock is the only real answer for browser . Idk where else ads appear on android only heard of em never seen em.

Vpn adblocker like using protonvpn with netshield to block ads and malware. Also, you can can put ublock origin in any firefox based browser like Mull and Fennec
When I’m outside my home network, I rely on Tracker Control (installed via F-Droid) for most traffic. And the usual uBlock Origin and such for my mobile Firefox browser.
