What is the state of rootless ad blockers for Android? - Lemmy.world

Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace. What ad blocker that doesn’t require root do you use? What’s your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

NextDNS (free up to 300k queries/month, doesn’t require any additional apps) or AdGuard (paid but has cosmetic filtering, they have their own app available on their website). Both are fast and don’t require root.

Does NextDNS use a VPN? Unfortunately TailScale and VPNs can’t be active at the same time

You can actually take it one step further and directly integrate NextDNS into your Tailnet: tailscale.com/kb/1218/nextdns/
Use NextDNS

Use NextDNS with devices in your tailnet.
