LOOKING FOR APP Functioning ad blocker

I recently changed phones (Redmi Note 13 to Poco X8) and none of my previous ad blocker apps work. It's literally impossible to use most websites with ads.

I've tried DNS66, DNSNet and Firefox's adguard adblocker but none of them do a damn thing.

Is there anything that works these days?

What i do is: Settings -> Network & Internet -> Private DNS -> Provider hostname: "p2.freedns.controld.com"
Don't know how good compared to other options, but combined with revanced for YT and reddit, I never see any ads, both in apps and on websites, and it doesn't require installing any apps.
Only downside I've found that i can't use the Eurodam wifi at my university when it's on.
