In the next 6 to 12 months Google is removing most adblock functionality - switch to Firefox (also Firefox mobile is amazing with uBlock origin )
They're not allowing remote connections for security , but you need a lot of 3rd party data to keep track of lists of ever changing malicious websites and ads to block
ublock on mobile is a total gamechanger if you have a cheap phone with low performance
Also if you have a fast phone but hate intrusive ads!
Yeah, saw the writing on the wall a few years ago and started the switch. It's a bit painful (at least when I switched there were way, way more apps on the chrome app store that weren't on Firefox), but worth it to keep your adblocker and semi privacy.
