Although it’s not quite as good as uBlock Origin, moving to a network based setup, like PiHole or AdGuard Home, can make great strides across all your devices with minimal headache or worrying as much about Google making it harder to control your web content. It makes it very apparent when I’m browsing on my phone or iPad and they switch over to LTE because all the sudden there are ads everywhere.

At some point I’m sure they’ll start trying to bypass local DNS by forcing DNS over HTTPS to only their approved servers, at which point someone will build a MITM HTTPS proxy for home users that you can seamlessly install onto a Raspberry Pi until we see the next escalation in the never ending battle for our eyeballs.

GP here. You can also try NextDNS.io, which allows you to choose blocking lists. There are apps for iOS as well as other platforms to allow it to be used on all networks (or even configure it not to be used on specific WiFi networks).
