Now if only somebody made a decent ad blocker for phones. I haven't been able to find one (android) that works decently.

  Firefox + UBlock works great on android. DNS66 works ok for apps that aren't browsers.

  I use brave browser for the fone, it works very well. And for youtube, I use the youtube vanced app which blocks ads by default.

    For youtube on android, also see Newpipe. Only downside for my usecase is that it doesn't support chromecast, but that only comes up once in a blue moon.

  I use Firefox + uBlock Origin, but to block ads in other apps I also use the NextDNS app (you can set up a custom set of blocklists, including adblock lists, in your NextDNS account).

  For system-wide blocking (no root required): https://f-droid.org/packages/org.blokada.fem.fdroid https://f-droid.org/packages/org.blokada.fem.fdroid For browser ads, just use Firefox or one of its forks and install uBO.

  On a rooted phone, AdAway works fine. https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway

  I've been using Firefox + uBO on Android. But I also run NetGuard from F-Droid as a local VPN ad blocker. I used to run Blokada, which does the same thing and is good too. But I like the more granular control over each app in NetGuard.

  AdAway on a rooted phone is amazing for system-wide hosts-file-based ad blocking. YouTube Vanced blocks YouTube ads.

  Iuse AdGuard as a system-wide adblocker on Android, it works pretty well IMO.

  Adguard works well since it's the only one which does cosmetic filtering and injects JS into requests that counters anti-adblock behaviour. Everything else is a simple DNS filter.
