Easiest solution I found was manually setting a Private DNS on Android. Adguard public DNS address filters pretty much all of them.
I've found it's worked really well. One annoying part is if you use Google search, the top 4/5 results which usually are ads (but eventually redirect to the correct page you want) become inaccessible, as Adguard interrupts it
Agreed, although I prefer pihole on a separate device. DNS blocking is best blocking.
Adware can detect that crap isn't loaded, but it is indistinguishable from the crap server being down. Normal page blocking is a lot more detectable, so assume pages then instruct you to disable your blocker.
Also, DNS blocking saves you bandwidth.
