Blocking ads is the only reason that makes me depend on root. I built a script[1] that generates flashable zip and from time to time I update it on my phone.

I know that app, but I have enjoyed creating my own project and currently I use it not only on my phone, but also on my laptop and router (with Tomato firmware ad blocker).
