I'm not aware if you can do it the way you mention, but you can used NextDNS and it pretty much cleans most of the ads. If it ever interests you: https://nextdns.io/?from=d6jchbnv (my affiliate link).

<i>What ROM do you use and what level of support does it provide?</i> See here: https://e.foundation/ <i>Do they just allow older phones to run newer versions of Android, albeit without full security updates?</i> The "full security updates" GrapheneOS references has to do with proprietary device drivers. This is an unrealistic over-reaction in my opinion. Why abandon perfectly functional hardware based on some unknown possibility that exists with both old and new hardware. Newer, supported devices could have these same sort of issues. OEM support does not guarantee otherwise. Most security issues occur in the OS or can be mitigated in the OS. Without physical possession of the device, access to drivers passes through the OS.

Apple Search Ads

Apple's App Store has ads: https://searchads.apple.com/ If you really do refuse to use apps with promoted content then I guess you don't install anything to your iPhone.
