  Is it? Maybe. I managed to install the apps I need from f-droid and use firefox but it felt more difficult than on PC - where you just need to install an adblocker in your browser.

    What ads are you trying to remove?

    Firefox on android allows you to use uBlockOrigin. YoutubeRevanced is an excellent application patcher system that you can use to remove ads from YouTube, Twitch, Spotify, and many other. F-droid has some good resources.

    If you’re playing games with ads, it’s a little harder. You probably need a piHole on your home network for that (they are super fun either way).

    In general, yes, I guess it’s a little harder to remove ads from your entire phone than it is to just remove them from a desktop web browser. Way better than Apple’s options though.

      Yeah basically the problem is the apps because mobile browser / mobile websites are less usable than desktop browser. I use NewPipe / PipePipe for youtube on android, hopefully it’ll keep working. Right now I don’t have any ads on android. But I’m only using very few apps. Thankfully the android ecosystem seems to be improving.

        Both of you should look up AdGuard. It’s the only adblocker I use and it works system-wide.

    Use this Site, Go to method 2 -> Android and set up your DNS manually. That’s it, no more ads on Android.

    adguard works pretty well for me on ios and i believe they have it for android too. the free version is good, the pro even better.
