AdBlock on mobile, what do you use?

[UltraMega]

Recently I had to reset my phone. Before the reset, I was using an older version of AdGuard that had a decent free ability to block ads universally on Android.

 

After the reset, I found this app was no longer available in an effective form on the Android store. 

 

So I installed Egde Canary Build, and did a quick mod to allow it to use full desktop extensions. Now I have Ublock and SponsorSkip installed on my phone browser as extensions.

 

 

 

 

Its nice to have these features on the same browser that windows defaults to on mobile for convenience reasons.

What do you guys use to block ads on mobile?

Ublock on the browser and i have a private dns for adguard in Android.

Blokada 5 on Android, although I may switch to sideloading the AdGuard APK at some point.

 

ReVanced for YouTube and whatever other apps it supports if I ever install those in the future.

 

I don't believe in relying on apps available in the Play Store to deal with ad blocking. That's the last place I would go to find ad blocking solutions, and mobile web versions of popular apps are generally decontented.

AdGuard on iOS with Safari. I've been using it since the iPhone 11 came out and I've never had an issue with it.

You can use extensions on chrome on your phone?

Mozilla supports full extensions on mobile. 

 

And so does edge canary, with a little effort.

lol, THAT explains it! After reading your post I went and started my old 7" tablet and it's running FF while the new 8" is on chrome only.

They're BOTH amazon tabs with the Playstore ecosystem side loaded for better compat. I've been running the 8" since 11/2023 so I kinda forgot the change in browsers. I think I changed to chrome on the tablet because it felt less sluggish.(I need to start keeping notes,getting so I don't remember WHY I do things half the time.)

I personally just run the Brave browser for any mobile browsing.  No third party apps required and it's typically faster.
