I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don't belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren't installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.

I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say "Download this app today". The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.

Change your dsn to dns.adguard.com

Edit: Firefox on Android has unlocked origin as well nowadays

Or if you can afford it, subscribe to a private DNS provider, they offer more control.
