I can block domains on my laptop, no problem. But I have not been able to figure out any convenient way to block websites on my Android phone. My Android phone comes with a Chrome browser. Any ideas about how to block websites reliably on an unrooted/jail-not-broken Android phone?

Block at DNS level on a device (router or DNS server) and proxy all Android traffic to said device.

I use a pfsense router running OpenVPN and pfblockerNG. PfblockerNG sinkholes all DNS requests to domains from a list such as this one. Then by using OpenVPN I simultaneously encrypt my connection when roaming remotely and I can specify to use my home DNS server to sinkhole ad/tracking domains.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think this will work fine in a home network that I can control. But this is not going to work when I am traveling and using my carrier's 4G network. Am I right? Is there any nifty solution to address the later?

I am a little disappointed that I can't do something as simple as install plugins for my phone browser that can block sites.

That's what VPNs are for. See openvpn, for example (or tinc, strongswan, etc)
