Ehm? You can just install firefox from the playstore and then ublock origin. (Privacy Badger is also recommended).

Did just that for a long time but recently switched to brave. Chromium just feels way more snappier on Android and I prefer its UI much more over Firefox which does many things that annoy me (e.g. ignoring theme-color tags).

What options are available for iphone?

iOS has a built in “content blocking” framework. Third party Ad blockers basically submit blocking rules to iOS in JSON format and the ad blockers work both in Safari and in apps that use the newest WebView.

The advantage is that the third party ad blockers aren’t able to intercept your web browsing directly and can’t invade your privacy.

I use 1Blocker.

1+ for 1Blocker, although I also run Adblock Plus in parallel.

Firefox Focus is free.
