"Ads are the bitter pill of the internet, and blocking them can help you regain some sanity while you're online. While ad blockers are fairly common among desktop users, they are relatively less common among mobile users. But doing so not only helps you escape ads that eat up screen space on websites and apps, but it also prevents you from unknowingly falling into an online scam. Among the users who do, one method is hugely popular."
"We recently asked our readers which solution they preferred to block ads on their Android devices, and the majority chose a widely used option: Private DNS. Private DNS services, such as Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1, are commonly used to access specific georestricted websites or hide activity from your ISP. Meanwhile, dedicated solutions, such as Adguard DNS, can help reduce online ads and are preferred for their ease of setup."
Private DNS services like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and Adguard DNS offer simple DNS-based ad blocking on Android. About 65% of surveyed users preferred Private DNS, while fewer than 19% used third-party apps such as Blokada. Private DNS setup is straightforward and can remove scammy or inappropriate content without consuming system resources or slowing internet speeds like a VPN. Private DNS does not restrict services such as Android Auto. Alternative measures include using browsers with built-in ad blocking or supported extensions like uBlock Origin for Firefox to reduce ads and improve browsing safety and experience.
