▣ DNSNet

DNSNet is one of the best modern ad blockers I’ve used that doesn’t need root. It’s free and open source, pulls from trusted host lists, and blocks ads and malware by routing DNS through a VPN-based filter.

Pros

+No root required
+Free and open source
+Blocks ads, malware, and sketchy domains using popular host lists

Cons

-Uses a VPN profile, so you can’t run another VPN at the same time
