What's a good Android adblocker?

Blokada doesn't block shit anymore. Does anything actually work?

I use AdAway, but my phone is rooted. If all you want is to block browser ads, use Firefox and install the uBlock Origin add-on.

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm looking more for a system-level one to mainly block ads from Google feed and Facebook.

I don't mind paying once, but I'm not down for a subscription.

Does it work well?

I do intend to root, but I'll waiting for a stable Magisk and TWRP before I do. For now I'm just running with bootloader unblocked, so I'm sure I'm failing SafetyNet checks all over the place.

There is a lifetime license for Adguard, gotten good reviews so far.

+1 to Adguard. You can use Ublock Origin on Firefox Mobile but FF is so much slower than Chrome that it drove me insane.

I used to use dns66 but this was back on my old phone. Not sure how effective it is now.

This Adguard sounds interesting. So is it safe to send all your data through their VPN?

I have adway and works fine but you need to root.

Set it up, toss it into your DNS settings. Toss it on your router, too. Better than Adguard, DNS66, and Blokada because you can control your filters like uBlock Origin, but you don't need another app on your phone draining battery, and you can put it on any device.

Alternatively, uBlock Origin in Firefox Mobile or rooting your phone and using Adaway.

Free version gives you plenty of alottment to block on one or two devices, but if you want to slap it on multiple and your home network, it's worth the price.

Did you update to blokada 5? I was still on 4 but a coworker told me there's version 5 now, so I updated but I'm thinking of going back to 4 again because it just isn't up to par with the old version.

I bought a lifetime license to adguard and I have no complaints.

You could block via /etc/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
This would be on the system level, as low as you can basically go.

Needs root access.

Huh? Works wonders still. Just stay in 4.1.4 and not the new 5 which is not feature complete.

I like Edge.

Blokada v4 here, seems fine?
