What about in app ads? Especially the full screen ads on mobile apps.

    If you're on Android, go to settings and network, find and enable private dns mode using this host address

    dns.adguard-dns.com

    It should block the majority of ingame/inapp ads, etc

    Edit: Minor Caveat. This isn't fool proof nor is it 100% effective.

    But takes you all of 30 seconds and does not require root permissions, side loaded apps, etc. Its all about the cost benefit ratios.

    The more direct approach if you're rooted: use App Manager, find your app, click the "X trackers" button in the header and if you still see adverts, look for any activities, services, receivers, that look like ads (usually highlighted).

    For example (german):

    There's also Warden, which can do the same but more simplified. They use both Exodus Privacy.

    They both edit the app directly, without any background services or VPNs.
