I may be a crazy old bastard but I have never used an ad blocker. I just use plain simple blacklists. Too many ads or obtrusive ads go on the list and I just don’t see those sites anymore. Otherwise I’m fine with ads.
I assume you’re adding the blacklist into your host file? How big is your block file? I remember one think that finally pushed me to use pihole and adguard a few years ago was due to my large host file causing >1s dns lookup time. Moving to pihole improved performance significantly in my case. Not sure if OS these days can handle large host file without huge performance impact though.

Yeah but… a block list is just another blocker. The real question is how you’re implementing it?
Android’s host file protection makes it impossible to modify without root.
Man, you tech guys. My block list is in my head.
Yeah you should stay off the crack for a while bud
