Did Reddit just destroy mobile browser access?
You can block ads in apps. In android 11, you can have it use OpenDNS's adblocking server.

I suspect only a small subset of people who generally run an adblocker also block ads on apps as it requires a lot more specialized knowledge.

Settings -> Network & Internet -> Private DNS -> dns.adguard.com
Now you've blocked a large percentage of ads on android.

Not always, though. For instance it won't work on YouTube ads. I'd call it a hack at best.

I'm sure you're already aware of this, but for other HN users on Android, ads on YouTube are blocked when using Firefox Android + uBlock Origin + m.youtube.com -- the experience isn't as nice as the app but still totally worth it IMHO.

Use Youtube ReVanced if you want the full app experience.
