    I pay for an ad blocking VPN, and run ublock origin. I’m sure ads take up much less of my data than that.

      Not trying to make this promotional. Which one do you use?

      I have a pi-hole at home so I never thought about it, but and I’m considering one for mobile.

        I’m not the guy you’re replying to, but I use Proton VPN, which seems to do a pretty good job blocking ads. I also added “dns.adguard.com” to my private DNS setting on my phone and tablet. Most ads are just gone now.

        I also use uBlock Origin on my Firefox app. Then I disabled the YouTube app (I have a Google phone, so I can’t get rid of it) and redirected all YouTube links to my Firefox browser. No more ads on mobile YouTube now!
