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
Rethink DNS is an amazing app if you’re on android. Highly worth giving a shot! Even for the peeps on other solutions.

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.
I’ve been using DNS 66 for a while with no complaints.
Thanks! Been needing this
Can you use a VPN at the same time as DNS66?
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.
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.
Firefox + ublock + NextDNS
Also Revanced manager is good at removing placeholders of ads that don’t load in apps
I use uBlock on Firefox and the blocking DNS with AirVPN.
Blokada 5 here. It works well enough even with the glitching.
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.
Not using Google Play services
I may be a crazy old bastard but I have never used an ad blocker. I just use plain simple blacklists. Too many ads or obtrusive ads go on the list and I just don’t see those sites anymore. Otherwise I’m fine with ads.
Yeah but… a block list is just another blocker. The real question is how you’re implementing it?
Android’s host file protection makes it impossible to modify without root.
Man, you tech guys. My block list is in my head.
