This is not necessary.

Just use the adblocker dns service for your phone. Takes like 2 minutes, it's free, and you'll never see ads.

    On Android, enable private DNS and set it to dns.adguard-dns.com.

    It does, dns happens before the request to the server happens. So instead of connecting to the ad-server the dns says 'the resource you're looking for doesn't exist' and the ad never loads.

    I'm sleep deprived and can't for the life of me decipher, what I meant there 😀. But I feel I have meant something

    There's another problem yet: a lot of ads nowadays use the main domain of the site as the source. So you can't block it without blocking the site as a whole.
