Firefox for android has addons including ublock origin. There ARE adblockers that work on the system level and block ads in apps but

- You can't selectively turn it off for a certain page

- You have to root the phone

- It's easier just to never install apps with in app ads.

Yup. My point is, you don't need to have a rooted phone to get ad blocking.
