You do know you can use the private DNS feature to block ads and analytics system-wide, don't you? There's also a "VPN service" app called Blokada[1] that effectively does the same thing but in a less optimal way. Anyway, blocking your own devices from communicating with the servers of malicious actors feels like basic infosec hygiene in 2020.
Actually, I should probably release that ad-blocking DNSoTLS server I made for myself and had been using ever since Android 9 came out.
