You can block ads in apps. In android 11, you can have it use OpenDNS's adblocking server.

  I suspect only a small subset of people who generally run an adblocker also block ads on apps as it requires a lot more specialized knowledge.

    Settings -> Network & Internet -> Private DNS -> dns.adguard.com Now you've blocked a large percentage of ads on android.

  Not always, though. For instance it won't work on YouTube ads. I'd call it a hack at best.

    I'm sure you're already aware of this, but for other HN users on Android, ads on YouTube are blocked when using Firefox Android + uBlock Origin + m.youtube.com -- the experience isn't as nice as the app but still totally worth it IMHO.

      Use Youtube ReVanced if you want the full app experience.
