Use adguard dns, it disables most (if not all?) ingame advertising for me. Set private dns to dns.adguard-dns.com
In your android settings, go to network & internet > advanced > private DNS and paste the link dns.adguard-dns.com into the box. All ads will assume you have no Internet connection. Doesn't appear to work on YouTube, but covers anything from the Google Play store banners/videos/etc.
That's because Google got wise to this trick and use their own internal values for DNS
no, DNS adblockers block certain web addresses that serve ads and Google has the same address for ads and videos, so blocking ads this way means you won't be able to watch videos too
TIL
That's actually pretty clever
This is what I do when it and about.
