If you don’t want to use DNS for whatever reason. Then Firefox/Mull with Ublock origin for the browser only

If you have root, then AdAway: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.adaway/

I use it without root and it’s fine. Not perfect, but at least you can disable it if you have to without rebooting your phone

I use it with root, disabling it and reenabling it doesn’t require me to reboot my phone…

Usually it edits the hosts file and it usually takes a reboot for it to take effect

This, plus uBlock Origin, plus the pihole on my home LAN to which I am normally tethered via Wireguard when not on my hone wifi.
