Clarification: I want an app that can block both trackers and ads device-wide.

    If you’re on android, I use TrackerControl from F-Droid. Be warned, however, that it absolutely will break most apps, because everything tries to track you through google, so blocking google with strict settings will destroy many of the apps you rely on. It is, however, the single best tracker blocking app I’ve ever seen. I feel like the fact that it breaks things, then you can check and see how everything it blocked caused the app to break, is a huge point in its favor.

      NextDNS is another great option that works system-wide on android without breaking as many apps, you can customize blocklists and see what’s being blocked in real-time.
