Ublock origin is much better than a DNS level blocker. It can block lots of junk inside a page that doesn't come from a different server.

I use a combo of both and many custom filters but just DNS blocking isn't enough and work the rise of DoH and ads served on-domain it's only going to get worse.

The element zapper feature on Ublock origin is unusable on Firefox Android because you can't select on-page elements with the precision of a mouse.
