You can compile and sideload an open source content blocker on a 32bit device. But performance on some sites is slower then without blocking because of the regex performance difference, it's almost 50% slower. I'd quote the statement from a dev on reddit, but can't remember where it was.

what regex? content blocking compiles the source regex to byte code which is executed natively.

the 32-bit hang up is because of performance of compiling the rules, not executing them.
