Firefox on Android allows a few extensions. A few of those are privacy badger, unlock origin, and decentraleyes. Should meet your need at a base level.

Have you heard about pihole for DNS blocking ? You m might have success when at home on wifi as this would greatly cut down on ads and trackers.

Otherwise, if you think Firefox is too slow to pirate (not sure I understand that, but ok) you can try another browser …aybe try Brave? Ya, maybe some negative publicity lately, but I’m not sure it Bothers me, or perhaps I don’t understand what exactly they might be selling of my info…

Setting up a PiHole is a method that should work. Costs a bit if you don’t already have something to host it on.

Pihole for network wide ad blocking (no ads on all apps on all devices within the LAN) then self-host a vpn to keep your phone within that lan.

Tis what I do at least.

Blocks pretty much everything except Youtube, and Twitchs video ads as they serve their own ads from their own domain’s as well as things like sponsored posts on reddit/twitter/facebook.

Easiest solution I found was setting a Private DNS on Android. Adguard public DNS address filters pretty much all of them.

In your case I’d sacrifice a bit of speed and went with Firefox. Another option is AdGuard + AdGuard VPN, the apps can work together.

controld.com has free resolvers that do the same thing as a pihole. you just go to your phones “Private DNS” setting and at it there. this will work for non-browser apps as well!

Use firefox and simply deal with the slightly slower app?

I used to be a big fan of Opera back when it was good but I wouldn’t recommend using anything made by them since they got bought out by a shady Chinese company that makes their money off of predatory payday loan apps with exploitative interest rates in a few developing nations. Firefox (and Mull and the like) are the best Android web browsers but if you really want a Chromium-based one then I’d recommend looking into using one that’s open source and not owned by an unethical corporation.

If I were you I’d just root my phone and use it along with AdAway.

If that isn’t an option for you you already got some neat answers like using a public DNS or your own self hosted.

NextDNS

Pihole + firefox + ublock for adds here. Im not using this, but its also possible to set your home server connect to VPN provider and then route all traffic through that. Then you can use your selfhosted VPN to connect with phone and use both at the same time. Or just enable add blocking on your VPN provider, I guess most of them have one

Blokada.

Been using dnsforge.de along with ublock origin on fennec. Seems to work well enough, but I might go back to personalDNSfilter to block ads with local VPN if i notice anything slipping through

Firefox and Kiwi browsers both support full Ublock Origin

Firefox with uorigin

I use the Samsung browser with the Adguard plug-in, which works great with customizable filter lists.

Samsung browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.sbrowser
Adguard for samsung browser: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adguard.android.contentblocker

Firefox + unlock Origin. Use alternative opens-source apps. DNS: Adguard, NextDNS, etc.

And that is the reason why I’m rooted and you should be to. Also if you want to add firewall into combination with vpn and adblock, there is definitely no other way.

I recommend cromite’s (fork of bromite) adblocking. It works well and I don’t see ads (at least the big ones, maybe I overlooked some smaller ones)

firefox beta with ublock.
if you use beta, you can install any extensions by adding them to an AMO extension collection.
also make sure to get some sort of dns ad blocker
you have three options:

• Self-hosted: Pihole
• "Cloud": NextDNS (this is what I’m using)
• Local: AdAway
  (drains battery unless you have root)

Firefox + uBlock origin, and reVanced for YouTube ad-blocking/other features.

Try Fennec (4chan recommended) Try kiwi to use any chrome extension

RethinkDNS and Firefox+Ublock-Origin

I find configuring an ad blocking private dns over https DOH in Firefox much faster and efficient compared to other methods. Firefox Extensions and VPN add unnecessary over head.

If interested, the steps are documented in my notes - abskmj.github.io/notes/…/firefox-dns-https/

Personally I use my own selfhosted AdGuard Home instance, configured on my phone as the private DNS server, therefor connecting via encrypted DOT. I’ve also got this server configured as the DNS on my home network router, meaning every and any device in the network profits from the adblocking, no matter how the respective DNS is configured. If you dont want to mess around with linux, docker and selfhosting in general, NextDNS seems to be a very valuable option as well. In any case, this is a lot more efficient than having an adblocking extension in your browser, since AGH/NDNS will also block ads and tracker in any other app that isn’t Firefix.

If you don’t mind paying, Blokada has a “cloud” subscription. You set your DNS settings on the phone to what they give you, turn it on in the app once, then it runs without using the VPN method.

I use it because, even though it’s another God damn subscription, it seems to work better for me and now I don’t have to think about it.

Kiwi Browser is Chromium based and supports add-ons like uBlock Origin.
