You can still block ads on a tablet if you use Firefox (Android only) or Brave.

What? Buying an Android tablet only to gain the ability to block ads?

You are literally correct, but spending money on a whole new device just for this single feature doesn’t feel sound. Especially when under a budget.

So while you are correct, such investment would be irresponsible (in my case). In other words, responsibility is what’s stopping me.
