I would like to pirate on my phone sometimes and the ads on websites are problem. I’m not newbie, I know I can install firefox and get the uBlock on it but firefox android is a little bit slow so I prefer to use Opera browser; opera has an ad blocker but it’s a joke compared to uBlock. I’m in a restricted country and my phone is not rooted, so if I use ad block apps like AdAway or Adgaurd they need to create a VPN connection in order to function unless the phone is rooted, and that VPN connection doesn’t let me to enable another VPN in order to visit filtered websites or apps.

I’m not stuck, but felt if I ask here there may be another smart solution for ad blocking on android that can solve these small problems; and the solution would help other people so be kind and provide what you have.

All the people suggesting firefox…

read what?

Very clearly asking for something else, but people repeatedly recommend OP uses firefox… SMH

They keep responding that way because OP is looking for a magic bullet. They are basically wanting something that is only positives and has no drawbacks.

You’re either going to increase latency in the app, increase latency across the network, have to pay for something, have to use an app you don’t prefer, etc.

OP asked for some new (to them) options, of which there are plenty. Instead some people are re-listing the things op’s already said they’ve tried.

Not even remotely helpful. If you don’t have anything new to suggest, just don’t suggest anything. Instead have a read through some of the actually helpful comments others have posted.

Cause the answer is to just deal with it. OP is going on a damn journey instead of just using the browser that feels a bit slow to him. Just use it to pirate on your phone and use another browser for whatever else you want. It’s really not that difficult.

Some people actually enjoy taking journey’s and exploring new things. Stagnation is boring.

There’s lots of tools in the tool box, you don’t have to use the hammer exclusively. Try a bit of variety. You might just like it.
