I have been using the hosts file based ad blocker AdAway for at least two years. It runs on my smartphones and tablet, all rooted, thus I can run a VPN simultaneously. Since it has always worked flawlessly, I never really took the time to compare it to other similar apps.

But as of today, there hasn't been an update since 2024.

I am asking for alternatives and the reason you think they're better.

Use Mullvad's dns servers https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls#android. Their vpn also has dns blocking capabilities.
