The next method allows us to block ads in Android without to installing any additional software. It's working on any android device working with Android 9 Pie and above.

How to do it:

  1. Go to Settings => Connections => More connection settings => Private DNS.
  2. Check Private DNS provider hostname
Then you can use some of the rest. The first one is recommended.


  • dns.adguard.com
  • dns-family.adguard.com
  • dot-de.blahdns.com

Another DNS that you can check is NextDNS. It's free to use and provide some nice features on their website.


How to block ads in Google Chrome


The DNS method works also for Google Chrome, but you need to change something to make it work.

  1. Open Chrome, type in chrome://flags

Then search for async DNS resolver (#enable-async-dns) and choose disabled in the drop-down menu. Otherwise, chrome could use a built-in DNS resolver which does not block ads.
