Try AdGuardHome. https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

and Sponsor Block
https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock/wiki/Android
Added onto our web browsers.
It frees up a lot of computer and mental resources to use tools that save you time and screen realestate.
The down side is if we all do it then the money must flow from somewhere other then your favorite advertizer.

bromite
Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser!
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

wirehole

Want to throw in blocky (https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky). Supports modern protocols and easy to configure in one file. Migrated to this from pi-hole and never looked back.

The Blocklist Project
These lists were created because the founder of the project wanted something with a little more control over what is being blocked. Many lists out there are all or nothing. We set out to create lists with more control over what is being blocked and believe that we have accomplished that. (by blocklistproject)
This one is good, very few false positives: https://github.com/blocklistproject/Lists/blob/master/porn.txt
