    1. Create a free Nextdns account.
    2. Add some blocklists
    3. Use the private dns settings on your android to set the dns. (i think this feature is present in Android versions which are 9 and above)

    Voila ! you have blocked ads without wasting your VPN slot.

    As an added bonus you can also configure nextdns to block your specific phone vendor tracking as well.

    If you are interested in trying different web browsers you can check out Fennec from F-droid or Brave browser. These are my go-to browsers on android.

    On my old phone i used Florisboard, it was pretty good and it’s FOSS as well.

    These days I use the samsung keyboard as I recently switched to a samsung device. The keyboard customizations are really awesome, if you have KeysCafe module installed. Not sure how privacy friendly it is tho.
