For Android there's a FOSS alternative (no root needed) - DNS66, alternatively if one has root there's always AdAway.
The only thing that stops working are monetization schemes in games - "watch this ad to double coins!", etc.
Browser-wise - Firefox on Android has working desktop extensions and it's glorious.
When it comes to native adverts (like timeline stuff in Instagram or Facebook) I just stopped using these platforms on my phone. Less time wasted on mindless scrolling.
I yet need to find a good way to block ads in podcasts. Skipping takes effort and I don't have my hands available for fiddling with the headphone remote.
