Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace.

What ad blocker that doesn’t require root do you use? What’s your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

    AdAway is what I use on my rooted devices. It does have a rootless mode as well and if it’s anywhere near as good as the root mode I would absolutely recommend it. I haven’t tested it though so give it a shot.

      AdAway works very well unrooted. It sets itself as a VPN that you can toggle on/off within the notification or app. I’ve had no issues with it, personally. Recommended, especially if coming from Blokada since they moved to subscriptions.

        Thanks! I’m leaning towards this option. Have you noticed any battery drain? Blockada seemed to affected my battery life sometimes.

          I have it off most of the time and turn it on when I know I’m heading into an adpocalyptic space, so I’m not really sure. 😅
