More specifically voyager (aka wefwef). It seems to be based on chrome for it's backbone but is it possible to get it to use kiwi or something to use my extensions and ad blocking? News articles are becoming unreadable on some sites as they're 75% ad space.

Using on mobile, I'm typically...mobile so that's not an option most of the time. Also PiHole can break sites that require ads to view, and my spouse uses a lot of those sites for her job on a work computer, that can't use extensions to bypass.

As Robolemmy stated, you can set your mobile device to use a specific DNS server that has ad blocking built into it, that way only your device/client is affected and not the whole network. That and it travels with you when you switch to mobile data.
