Use the adguard dns. Select option 2

AdGuard DNS — ad-blocking DNS server
Create your ad-blocking DNS server that will protect your personal data, prevent tracking and allow you to control access to specific content on the Internet.
You can also do an ad-blocking DNS on your router if you just care about it at home over wifi. Then you block ads on all your PCs and tablets too.
For Android, I have used Blokada, which blocks it at a system level, but Apple does not allow those kinds of apps. It's available for iOS too, but isn't that deep system level.

Indeed, in above post in method 2 there’s an option for router dns blocking by AdGuard.
Not sure what exactly happened. I reinstalled Adguard and set up DNS filter and it worked this time. Feeling relaxed. Anyway to block on mobile network also along with WiFi?

NextDNS- you can add multiple filters and block whatever you want - ads, trackers, malware etc … its free
well, kind of - its limited to a certain amount of use, after that you have to pay :-(( real free DNS ad blocking is only possible with adguard public dns or control-D (with limits to the things you can block)
NordVPN lets you block ads OS-wide. If you like AdGuard VPN, you can get a 5-year sub for 50 bucks here: https://stacksocial.com/sales/adguard-vpn-5-yr-subscription
make ur own vpn (wireguard) and ad/track block with that. like all other options, nextdns, adguard dns etc miss so much, and also have tons of false positives. i have 2.1million lines on my custom block list
Thanks for this! Just redeemed it. I already had AdGuard Pro, the combination of using VPN at the same time seems promising
DNS blocking won't work with YouTube ads.
Any advertising that shares a domain with content cannot be blocked by a DNS-level blocker.

I temporarily installed the „Hola“ VPN add on for Chrome and then „flew“ to Turkey, opened YouTube and it will show the price of Premium in Lira instead of $. Once subscribed, you no longer need the vpn. However, I would recommend to use a new Google account for this (YouTube). I had issues getting the purchase through on my existing Google account before. I also don’t want to get my main Google account banned (didn’t happen in 3+ years of doing this but there is always the possibility)

As far as I know, I’m not paying anything for it. I’m well above 300,000 queries for the last 30 days.
