      AdAway is the best choice if you’re rooted.

      Some banking apps might break, but the DNS request log will help you debug and put the necessary domains on a whitelist. Or you can just google it.

          I use it not rooted, on both an android tablet and phone. Haven’t run into any issues, it uses a VPN to block the ads

          Edit: there was one issue where youtube wouldn’t update the watch history, to fix this just allow s.youtube.com on the allow list
