Host file blocking on mobile devices produces some weird web browsing. I like using browser plugins because it gets rid of the whole chunk of html so it's like the ad was never there in the first place. On android, there are these huge blank spots you have to scroll past to keep reading. I still keep adaway on but I wish I could just use ublock origin with android's chrome.

You can use uBlock Origin in Firefox on Android, and I've found DNS66 to be a good non-rooted adblocker on Android.
Now there's also Blokada which is a little bit better (found it to block some ads that DNS66 actually let through; it was a random discovery, I am not a researcher).
