Anyway to use this in android?

I already use Firefox + ublock origin and it is enough for my browsing.

However I am looking for something to block ads also on apps.



Take a look at https://blokada.org/

It blocks ads in news and other apps for me.


Has it been working fine for you? It quite often stops working for me and I have to restart the service.

DNS66[1] has been working great for me but for some reason it misses a few ads unlike Blokada which never missed a single ad for me.

I've had to give up on both which is a pain for me. Reason being that for some reason no connections work when it's running. As soon as I disable it internet works again. Haven't bothered figuring out what the issue is yet.


Yeah, totally. Set myself a Pi-hole + PiVPN up on a small Vultr instance. Routing all Smartphone traffic through it. Costs me 3.50 € a month and blocks half of all DNS requests. Haven't seen a single external ad since then.


AdAway https://adaway.org/ (Only on F-Droid), requires root.
