    Simple solution. Get DNS66 from the F-droid site (not the Play Store version that wants a subscription). That takes care of the ads in all my apps. It inserts itself like a VPN, filtering all Internet traffic, blocking the ad servers.

      Personally I’m more for using a custom DNS server to block ads.

      I was using Blokada 5, but found that it used a bit too much of my battery.

      Now I just set my DNS to dns.adblock.com, and it gives me the same result.

      Mullvad VPN also includes the ability to block all ads at the DNS level, so if you don’t already have a VPN (or if you’re not happy with your current one), I highly recommend it. Great VPN, great speed, great company.

        Mozilla VPN uses Mullvad’s servers so it offers pretty much the same QoS but some of it goes to a non-profit that develops and supports Firefox, funds white hats finding and patching bugs in the Fediverse. and fights for an open web.

        (It also features DNS-level ad blocking.)
