Yup.

I run a PiHole in the cloud so I can PiHole my phone without exposing my home network at all.

EDIT: On my phone, I do use Firefox with uBlock Origin, but the PiHole blocks ads that aren't in the browser, or use an app's browser view.

Trustworthy DNS seems so critical to security, I erred on the side of PiHole on a pi at home, self cloud hosting my DNS scarred me a bit.

My PiHole in AWS requires me to VPN into it, so DNS requests are protected by the VPN. Neither AWS or anybody in the middle can interfere with it.
