    And there are apps like 1Blocker [1] that will block in-app tracking, too. [1] https://support.1blocker.com/en/articles/6436221-firewall-in-app-ads https://support.1blocker.com/en/articles/6436221-firewall-in...

      That's DNS-level blocking and it won't work for long, being the kind of ad-blocking that's the easiest to circumvent. Companies simply didn't bother to do it. But as a test, try blocking ads in any social app, like Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, see how well it works.

  Facebook is also deploying anti-adblock tech, so even on the desktop, even when ad-blocking seems to work, it's only temporary. uBlock Origin or Brave, doesn't matter, Facebook beats all ad-blockers.

    Wouldnmt youtube play videos inside videos? How you gonna block that?

      YouTube's own video ads can currently be blocked. I predict, however, that Google won't allow this for long, because there were already signs that they are deploying anti-ad-blocking detection. People don't realize, but the detection of ad-blockers is possible and hard to prevent. Even uBlock Origin, although granted, it's still the most difficult to beat. That companies abstained from doing it, that's only because ad-blocking eyeballs are still good for business, but given that the market share of ad-blockers has grown tremendously, that will change.
