My favorite is (open source) netguard. It is really easy to use, nice ui, nice default options. I will be super bummed if this will no longer work.
I guess I was was wondering how Google would resolve the conflict between their basic function -- making money by serving ads -- with a user experience which is almost always improved by blocking ads.
Mobile chrome will never have extensions, excuses side, because Google had the opportunity with a new platform and new browser to make sure ad blocking wasn't as easy as installing an extension.
I personally run mobile Firefox with ublock origin. Wonder if that will be always be possible?
If I need to root my phone to get a system level VPN / firewall / adblocker, I might as well just get an iPhone and jailbreak.

This approach while generally effective can't block certain types of ads or tracking data that the other solutions or something like ublock origin in your browser can.
