I have a setup of about 250 mb worth of blocklists on the home router (openwrt). The adblocker generates a statistic. Around 20 percent of all connections get blocked, so that's my personal traffic saved every day. On mobile your can block traffic systemwide too, so not only your browser but also app based adds.

On android just go to settings -- network -- private dns and chose one provided by mullvad for example:

On ios:

I use NextHub and NextDNS on iPhone and although it is limited compared to Android, it blocks around 12% of my traffic.
