What would be your recommendation for blocking ads on an android phone? Do you use one and, if so, what’s your 2 cents on what you’re using? Where have you seen the biggest improvement (reduction) if it works well?

    Ublock origin with firefox browser. The app store didn’t carry it when I last loaded it on my last android phone I will ever own that is now dead. I had to find it on a search and download it.

    Ad blockers don’t work well, and websites can tell you are using them and force you to whitelist to use their site. They can’t tell with ublock.

    Using a computer without it, (I have ublock on my computer as well,) I was amazed at how bad a lot of these sites are that I’m linked to for news or whatever. Moving pictures while I’m trying to read is a deal breaker for me.
