This is really groundbreaking but it got less noise than I thought it would. Adhell (an app that is capable of doing system wide ad blocking along with many other things thanks to Knox which is Samsung-only capability) was the main reason I stayed with Samsung for years. Now every phone with Android Pie will be to use dns based ad blocking in all networks without running an annoying app in the background.

There's also AdAway, which runs on any rooted Android phone, and doesn't require you to show all your traffic to a particular DNS server.

  There is also Blokada, which creates a local VPN on Android and runs it against a hosts file: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.blokada.alarm/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.blokada.alarm/ .

  The advantage of Knox based blocking is that it doesn't require root.
