Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I'm curious what the rest of you are doing.

You could use DNS and stick with Vanadium. AdGuard, nextdns, decloudus, Mullvad.. all good for ad blocking and probably more effective as it’s system wide

DNS blocking is different than content blocking. A content blocker like ublock can block more than just domains by injecting scripts into DOM (iirc im not a webdev)

This is what I ended up opting for and it works very well
