I use the Samsung browser with the Adguard plug-in, which works great with customizable filter lists.

Pihole + firefox + ublock for adds here. Im not using this, but its also possible to set your home server connect to VPN provider and then route all traffic through that. Then you can use your selfhosted VPN to connect with phone and use both at the same time. Or just enable add blocking on your VPN provider, I guess most of them have one
I used to be a big fan of Opera back when it was good but I wouldn't recommend using anything made by them since they got bought out by a shady Chinese company that makes their money off of predatory payday loan apps with exploitative interest rates in a few developing nations. Firefox (and Mull and the like) are the best Android web browsers but if you really want a Chromium-based one then I'd recommend looking into using one that's open source and not owned by an unethical corporation.
You wouldn't be able to use AdGuard properly with Opera anyway because Opera don't accept user certificates (issued by AdGuard or AdAway) so it wouldn't filter https traffic.
Try Vivaldi, amazing browser, built-in adblocker. Hopefully will be better than Opera's. Personally haven't tested it as I'm using said AdGuard which Vivaldi has no problem with - one of the reason I moved from Opera to Vivaldi.
Or simply change DNS to AdGuard.
Im not very familiar with Opera but do you have the "Allow Acceptable Ads™" setting still on?
Edit: I just used an ad block testing site with Allow Acceptable Ads turned off and tracker blocking and the score it got is about the same as firefox mobile with ublock
Where are you testing it?
I recommend cromite's (fork of bromite) adblocking. It works well and I don't see ads (at least the big ones, maybe I overlooked some smaller ones)
Use firefox and simply deal with the slightly slower app?
firefox beta with ublock.
if you use beta, you can install any extensions by adding them to an AMO extension collection.
also make sure to get some sort of dns ad blocker for blocking in-app ads/trackers and vendor tracking:
you have three options:
And that is the reason why I'm rooted and you should be to. Also if you want to add firewall into combination with vpn and adblock, there is definitely no other way.
What do you do about banking apps onba rooted phone? Doe's magicx work for those apps
Interested as well. Used to root everything, but if banking is questionable its a no go for me.
Im using firefox + ublock and selfhosting pihole
I heard rooting has some risks and disadvantages but I have no experience with it. is it good?
Iceraven
Firefox is a bit slow because it's busy blocking those ads and other garbage then figuring out how to make a web page with what little is leftover. You might be a bit slow if you can't figure that out.
