I'm talking full phone and blocking. Not just browser.

Edit: So many options! Thanks guys I'll go through them all and see what one I think will work best for me. I appreciate it.

If you still want to use a VPN style adblocker, I moved from Blokada some time ago to Adaway. Works the same.

Thank you for helping fill out this list. May I ask why you moved away from Blokada? Version 5 is bad ofc, and 6 is far, FAR worse, but 4 worked well for me.

It looks like AdAway has some nice features since I saw it last, like the ability to whitelist a particular app. If it does not require root permissions, it might be a clear winner even.
