Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace.

What ad blocker that doesn't require root do you use? What's your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

I'm kinda surprised that didn't see anyone recommending RethinkDNS. It's a DNS and Firewall app that works through VPN. You can choose through a bunch of servers that they offer, including the RDNS Plus that you can select the blocklists you want, or just chose other DNS of your choice and block the domains using local blocklists in the app. Using the firewall function, you can block or allow individual domains or apps. Been using it for like two years.

I use one called personalDNSfilter from the play store that loops back to local UDP port 53 so that filter list can be maintained on your phone.
