There are AdBlock options for Android that can work on apps. Generally you need to route all internet traffic via the AdBlock app which requires root, a faux-VPN, or a PiHole type solution.

It can usually only do host-level blocking but that's generally enough.

Not for apps like YouTube .

Yeah, YT's current anti-adblock crusade means you need a proper ad blocker built into the browser or a third party client.
