Ad blockers currently work on Android devices[1][2][3][4], preferably by gaining root on the device and using a de-Googled Android, using F-Droid[1] and/or manually installing packages with FFUpdater[1].
If you really have to use Apple devices and other post-general-purpose-computing locked down devices (e.g. televisions), you could try self-hosting privaxy[5][6] (or similar) which performs MITM manipulation of web traffic to remove ads, including via JS or CSS injection.
