Block Ads with a DNS Service
One of the best ways to stop ads from showing up on most websites is to use a DNS service. AdGuard provides you with two free DNS addresses that stop ads. One, family.adguard-dns.com, is geared toward families and blocks sites with adult material. The other, dns.adguard-dns.com, only stops ads.
Most websites work normally when you use a DNS service, but they may take longer to load. The places where ads usually show up are empty, so you’ll have to scroll past this big empty space to see more information. Depending on the site, you might still see some pop-up ads. Also, if you use a DNS-based ad blocker, some websites might not work.
Open the Settings app and tap Network & Internet to set up AdGuard to block ads through DNS. Near the bottom of the screen, there are choices to open private DNS. A new window pops up. Tap the option for private DNS provider hostname, then type in your chosen DNS service, such as family.adguard-dns.com.
Or click on the search bar.
Search for private DNS and open it.
Under more connections, choose private DNS.
Choose configure private DNS, and enter one Adguard DNS.
Advertising is there for a reason, and you can benefit from it just as much as marketers do. An ad can tell you that a game you like is on sale or that there is a new place in town that serves your favorite food.
Many services are also free because of ads. Imagine having to pay to read the news, use Google Search, or keep up with friends on social media networks. If we all stop all kinds of advertising, these free services that are paid for by ads will have to charge a fee to use them.
Refer to Google Help to learn more about disabling ads on Android phones.
