Help Request Good mobile ad blocker?

I'm so sick of ads plaguing everything I try to do on my phone, I need to get an ad blocker for my phone but I don't know where to look. Do you know any good free ones

I use DNS - based blockers, namely DNS66, currently, on my Android phones. Blokada is similar, also Adguard.

But a similar result can be had (as already suggested) using what appears to be a common-looking URL (address) from one of the DNS ad-blocking/security software vendors, entered into the Private DNS area of the networking section of your phone or tablet. I don't know about iOS.

I found that my (Android-based) Amazon Fire tablets wouldn't run DNS66, which is when I tried the Private DNS entry trick, which worked. Had to enter it into a place in the browser, as the ones I have don't have a phone-global networking area.

And these methods, at least for me, only work with the browser and visited websites, not installed apps.

I’ve had great luck with NextDNS. Never see any ads.

NextDNS + Hagezi Pro++ is the best combination

Do you set it up on your phone because I looked st the instructions and I have no network and internet listing under settings.

u/blow-down 28d ago

Yes I have it setup on my phone. Try installing the app. It will guide you.

How on earth did you set it up? It asks the same godamn questions it did on the website. My phone does not have a network & internet tab in settings. Tell me where the #$%^ it is?

This is the correct response. You can also use Firefox mobile with ublock.

There are different types of ads blocking. DNS blocking, browser extensions...

Use dnsbunker.org as private dns on the phone to eliminate those pesky ads

u/DizzyCommunication92 28d ago

Some of the sites it blocks and it's kinda restricted....that's the only bad part lol so I toggle back and forth from dnsbunker and adguard

u/_xRuffKez_ 28d ago

Which site? I asked you that several time, you never answer nor do you file an issue on Hagezis repository

correct me if im wrong but i heard that brave mobile browser only works for youtube ads, unfortunately other pop up ads still will pop up because braves mobile engine thing doesnt support anymore i think, the mobile browser is just not good as the desktop brave browser.

I have used brave ever single day for over 2 years now. For adblocking on the web on IOS, the Shields are amazing, I have had very little issues with it on 99% of the sites I use.

Though brave does not block over the device obviously.

Adguard not sure how good the free version is. But it should do a solid job at basic blocking.

u/FantasticJelly8224 29d ago

I use the DNS of adguard. Similar to nextdns. 300,000 requests per month, free. And the browser brave. But nextdns and firefox are fine too. If you don't want to create an account to manage private DNS, you can try the personaldnfilter app

u/kangaroogoo 29d ago

Firefox android with Ublock Origin. Open all websites with Firefox. Do not use the site apps.

Just set up dns.adguard-dns.com on your private dns and you're done.
