but it doesn’t on unrooted Android

It actually has VPN mode which also works without root

That’s the only method for it to work on unrooted phones.

Yes, but it works

You could also use a custom DNS like NextDNS on Android 10+, but it’s not as private as adaway

You need to add an Xposed module for it to block ads on YouTube though, requiring root. AdAway VPN mode on unrooted phones won’t block YouTube ads. I just triple checked and tried it again to make sure I wasn’t talking out of my ass.

They’re saying it doesn’t work to block ads on YouTube and I can confirm that they’re correct.
