The article is AdGuard centric but it sheds light on the whole process where Google suddenly decided to ban ad blockers.

Anyone have a reco for a good FOSS android adblocker?
rethink DNS is getting pretty damn good.
Was using DNS66 and switched to Rethink DNS. At home I just run Infoblox with RPZ feeds to block ads.
Adguard DNS is my go to, but it’s mostly because it’s easy to recommend
There is no need for an actual installed adblocker. You can simply change system wide DNS to black ads. You can really use any DNS you choose, but I’d suggest mullvads DNS.

Look for “private DNS” on your phone, or switch it on your browser if on desktop.
I’ve been using Mullvad for 2 years and only just now realized I could turns ads off on my phone with a literal click of a button.
IIRC the ad blocker toggles for Mullvad VPN on android were added this year.
AdAway
Pi-Hole + VPN. Connect to the VPN via the phone, having all the data that hits your phone passing through your Pi-Hole first.
Look forward to the replies on this one.
On my desktop, I haven’t seen an ad in ages, they really piss me off. But on my phone I just seem to suffer through them.
At home I really should set up a pi hole I guess. But that doesn’t solve it when out and about.
ive got ublock on ff for web, then instander on IG which is the only app I use with ads
Install PiVPN on the same Pi running Pi-hole and you can use your Pi-hole anywhere you go (plus you can also access any device on your home LAN).
Netguard has network filtering as a paid feature. It has a pretty steep learning curve, but very full featured.
yes, it’s “paid” 👉 10 cents
if you read the faq once, you have all your responses. It’s not fair to call it a steep learning curve
I’ve been using Dns66 since 2017. I tried blokada (from GitHub) and didn’t like it. Haven’t tried others, so I’m also curious what other folks are using.
