Been blocking ads for years pretty thoroughly. Its a trillion $ industry that might as well not exist really.

My advice: buy an unlocked Android phone. Throw DNS66 on it to block in app ads. Use browsers that support ublock origin, I advise Fennec which is Firefox for Android stripped of the Mozilla crap.

You are not a powerless victim, you have agency.

How is Fennec on the battery life? I tried firefox on android several years ago and uninstalled immediately due to battery consumption. Has that story changed?
I'd recommend giving Firefox another shot. It's leaps and bounds ahead of where it was on mobile more than a year ago.
