I am certain many jailbroken androids are out there using adblockers. Firefox also has plugins internally blocking ads.

You are doing HN readers a disservice by recommending ABP! It is mafia software.

Recommend uBlock Origin instead. "Free. Open source. For users by users. No donations sought." https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#installation

Please take a look at Blokada: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.blokada.alarm/

You'll have to get it from the F-Droid app store, but this doesn't require a rooted phone. It uses a local VPN to block ads at the network level, hence no ads in your apps as well

I've been using this for a month and it works wonderfully
