What would be your recommendation for blocking ads on an android phone? Do you use one and, if so, what's your 2 cents on what you're using? Where have you seen the biggest improvement (reduction) if it works well?

revanced.app is the correct place to get it iirc.

This will let you download the "revanced manager" app's .apk . Once installed, the revanced manager app lets you take the .apk of a specific version of the YouTube app and patch it to make the revanced .apk . This enables ad blocking and other features like sponsorblock.

It has to be done this way because hosting prepatched apks is a good way to get sued by Google for violating the DMCA.
