Does anyone have recommendations on how to block ads on Android without rooting? I've tried AdAway but it doesn't seem to be terribly effective. I'm pretty tied into Chrome and would prefer not to change browsers but I understand I might have to.
When not rooted I have two main free solutions.
You can use nextdns on your home network. They have around 200,000k free requests. For 2 people it seems to work out to around 20 days of ad blocks. This particularly helps with the ads on the TV as well.
Otherwise you have the options to use Firefox with extensions or Brave without (I know it's not popular around here). You can also use ReVanced for youtube blocks.
For most usage that free combination suffices for me.
