  6. The best ad blocker for Android. Free and open source.

  7. An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. For Android, requires root.

    I would like to add Adaway as well it also works without root just like Blokada.
  8. Protects you against tracking through "free", centralized, content delivery.

  9. SponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos.
