It's genuinely insufferable. I have plenty of ad block on my pc but little on my phone. When I'm doing stuff on my phone it's sometimes impossible to navigate certain news sites or watch videos because of all the fucking ads.

    AdGuard works well,l on Android, as well as Vivaldi or Brave with their in-built adblockers.

    Firefox on android works well too! I use it instead of a lot of apps (including the other place...ugh...)

    There are a couple of VPNs with built-in DNS blocking for advertisements. Athena is a solution that uses your phone's VPN functionality to route traffic served from known ad networks into a digital brick wall like Roadrunner baiting Wile E. Coyote into a painted tunnel.
