Adaway on fdroid works pretty well. It’s better if you have root access, but it functions fine as an adblocker without. I think it pretends to be a VPN service if you don’t have root
Haha, fair enough. I put it on my 80 yo mom’s motorola phone. She never asked where I got it. I believe that ad blocking is against the play store TOS, so you are unlikely to find a “mainstream” solution

Ehhh… this is my dad’s Samsung tablet. F-droid is a nonstarter for a boomer.
Even Samsung tablets allow the change of the private DNS-Resolver. Android uses DoT. Start for example with adguard, or quad9:
unfiltered.adguard-dns.com dns.quad9.net
