I still use AdAway with root
This, plus uBlock Origin, plus the pihole on my home LAN to which I am normally tethered via Wireguard when not on my hone wifi.
Many layers, make ogre stronk
Blokada 5 has been very nice to me, no root, and doesn’t use much battery (android tells me 4% after a full day). Only downside is that it counts as a VPN connection, so if you want to connect to another VPN you have to turn it off temporarily.
Otherwise definitely Firefox with ublock origin
Rethink DNS is an amazing app if you’re on android. Highly worth giving a shot! Even for the peeps on other solutions.
I also recommend this! Firewall, DNS blocking and VPN function, very powerful
I’ve been using DNS 66 for a while with no complaints.
Thanks! Been needing this
Can you use a VPN at the same time as DNS66?
It should actually be
dns.adguard-dns.com
, per the official documentationThe former has been working fine for me, but I’ll change it to your suggestion if I experience any problems.
I use a VPN that has an ad blocker built in, like Mozilla, that blocks all the normal apps even without root.
Then I use Firefox with uBlock Origin for web browsing.
Blokada 5 here. It works well enough even with the glitching.
That doesn’t sound good at all
I stopped using blokada after it started massively draining my battery in the background.
I get random freezes and have to clear data eventually to get it working right again. But it mostly works.
I use ProtonVPN with adblock
Firefox + ublock + NextDNS
Also Revanced manager is good at removing placeholders of ads that don’t load in apps
I use uBlock on Firefox and the blocking DNS with AirVPN.
Vpn adblocker like using protonvpn with netshield to block ads and malware. Also, you can can put ublock origin in any firefox based browser like Mull and Fennec
When I’m outside my home network, I rely on Tracker Control (installed via F-Droid) for most traffic. And the usual uBlock Origin and such for my mobile Firefox browser.
