Thanks for sharing. I will read up on this as it is new to me. I did want to post and let others know that the latest version of Blokada does indeed utilize encrypted DNS, a VPN and tracker blocking all in one place without root. It seems this is a good solution for an everyday user (thanks @clame !) where some of the methods provided by @marcdw seem very robust and excellent for power users. Just my 2 cents on what I have learned. Thanks for all the sharing of info here.
Another important aspect is improving security; online advertising subjects users to a higher risk of infecting their devices with computer viruses than surfing pornography websites.[34] In a high-profile case, malware was distributed through advertisements provided to YouTube by a malicious customer of Google's Doubleclick.[35][36] In August 2015, a 0-day exploit in the Firefox browser was discovered in an advertisement on a website.[37] When Forbes required users to disable ad blocking before viewing their website, those users were immediately served with pop-under malware.[38] The Australian Signals Directorate recommends individuals and organizations block advertisements to improve their information security posture and mitigate potential malvertising attacks and machine compromise.[39] The information security firm Webroot also notes employing ad blockers provide effective countermeasures against malversating campaigns for less technically sophisticated computer users.[40]
