I'd recommend NextDNS, although I haven't tried the AdGuard DNS. You can choose from many blocklists, add stuff to Denylist or Allowlist (which I had to do for AliExpresss app to work properly), check logs to see what was blocked or allowed, add Rewrites which was useful for lemmy.fmhy.ml and fmhy.ml, and there's a bunch of other protection options.

You can also test it out for free WITHOUT SIGNUP for 7 days. If you clear your cookies you can get another 7 days over and over without signup.

iirc changing your DNS doesn't really block ads in the app since they serve ads using the same server side domains or something.

TrackerControl may work for this if you must use the stock app, newpipe is probably the best solution and finally, you can also use ad blocking dns and there may be VPN solutions as well.

Good luck

I would usually suggest Newpipe but that's a little buggy rn so Libretube is probably your best bet, that even has sponsorblock aka it skips in video promotions from influencers too!

Sign up for YT premium using a vpn to a cheap country. I pay $2 a month. Once you sign up you can cancel the vpn and it keeps the same price
