Not really impressed with how the free AdGuard works for me, I'm interested in either free or paid app suggestions and I'd like to hear experiences from people who use them. Thank you!

You can try DNS like Control D or NextDNS which block ads and trackers. I’m using the first one and for the exception of a few false positive it has been good to me.

As for an app, back in the days I used Blockada which wasn’t bad. Don’t know if its still around thought.
