Use " dns.adguard.com " for your dns.
I haven't had an ad since making the switch.
I'd recommend NextDNS, although I haven't tried the AdGuard DNS. You can choose from many blocklists, add stuff to Denylist or Allowlist (which I had to do for AliExpresss app to work properly), check logs to see what was blocked or allowed, add Rewrites which was useful for lemmy.fmhy.ml and fmhy.ml, and there's a bunch of other protection options.
You can also test it out for free WITHOUT SIGNUP for 7 days. If you clear your cookies you can get another 7 days over and over without signup.
iirc changing your DNS doesn't really block ads in the app since they serve ads using the same server side domains or something.
