Ad blocker for Android?

[singlecoil]

My deal with EE allows me to watch YouTube without it affecting my data allowance. I have adblocker on my desktop at home and hadn't realised just how intrusive the advertising is.

I've tried downloading a couple of adblockers but no luck yet. Its a Sony Xperia tablet BTW, Android 7.1.1 if it makes a difference.

TIA

If (happens with some phones or OS versions) it won't restart after you have quit you have to go into your settings/VPN and choose to "forget it" then it will start up again. AdGuard does a similar thing too with forgetting it to start it again, but as a blocker I'd say DNS66 is better.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Alternatively, I rate Blokada really highly.
Have it running on both our mobiles and 2 Android TV boxes at home.

If it is for youtube download YouTube vanced from the app store.

No adds.

I use Brave Browser and it seems to work really well, especially for YouTube.

I use Blockada also, but having changed phones recently (and hence Android versions going from 5 to 8) I now see ads on PH whereas previously I didn't. My VPN is switched on and it knows about Blockada, I'm using their main DNS (have tried others in the list to no avail as well).
