BTW, I'm using Brave because of having u-block origin, and I recommend it. Needed to change the default chrome widget for a brave widget, and lost the chrome sync. Other than that, works as a charm.
Going on a tangent, how is the adblocking story on iOS? As there is not Firefox+uBlock available, is it possible to block ads via VPN or DNS?
The usual VPN and DNS solutions also work fine.
Firefox for Android with ublock origin makes my mobile web browsing sane again. Highly recommended.
I try not to use apps where there's a website equivalent, but I also repackaged a couple of them that I like to rid them of the ads, using apktool.
My mobile experience is blissfully ad-free. It's a delight and I would never go back to the default experience.
I feel like they're just dying to figure out a way to get rid of extensions on desktop as well. Soon enough they'll figure out a way to rationalize them away.
There is a legitimate problem with malware that hijacks all traffic via VPN. Maybe you should hear other side before making judgement!

The only reason people are resorting to vpn for adblocking is because Android Chrome and the OS otherwise doesn't allow for ad blocking any other way through...

The experience is so awful when I browse on my iPad, instead of my Android phone with Firefox+UBlock. I really don't understand how most people can stand to browse with all the ads. The modern web is so much worse than the pop up ads of the old web.

Pi-hole + PiVpn works wonderful (if you can find a rpi that is... ). Been using that setup for a couple of years, very stable.
I use wireguard + adguard home. Both docker containers (in a docker-compose.yaml), easy to set adguard as the dns resolver for any wireguard connection. It runs from my basement. I also hear great things about TailScale, will also try that (soon I'll be "forced" off my fiber/fixed-ip connection).

And on the road?
I also use PiHole from a docker container on the same server that's running wireguard.
