For a long time my pihole was able to do it with some regex entries, but Google was pretty persistent about not letting that work, so for Android I just started doing Revanced.

That will only go so far unfortunately. And network level ad blocking won’t protect you from their ads if they’re served from the same servers the content is.

Ublock is not network level ad blocking.

But it helps in addition for the annoying stuff that is not possible to filter on the network.
