===Secure DNS===
If you have an Android 9 or later device, you can change your DNS provider to a provider which will refuse to resolve ads, thus giving you DNS based tracking and content blocking.
If you have an Android 9 or later device, you can change your DNS provider to a provider which will refuse to resolve ads, thus giving you DNS based tracking and content blocking. Android supports [[w:DNS over TLS|DNS over TLS]] (DoT) and you can therefore use any DoT supporting provider. We're partial to BlahDNS, a non-profit open source provider, but an [https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/dns-providers exhaustive list of virtually every adblocking or filtering DNS] exists.
 
Once you've picked your DNS provider, head over to your settings and under network settings (usually) you can enter the DNS provider details.
===Browsers===
On Android, there are a number of browser-based adblocking options. The most configurable is using Firefox for Android with the aforementioned uBlock Origin.
