I have a Samsung A 70.ideally I'd like to remove ads 100%,but accept that isn't possible. I use Google Browser but today, installed Brave Browser as well, sill see ads.

You're talking about ads whilst browsing using Chrome or another browser? Look at Kiwi Browser ... this is Chromium-based but supports extensions - like uBlock Origin.

Adguard 
https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
Install it run it and forget about it.
Works just fine for me.

Doesn't Adguard only work with a very limited number of browsers (Samsung and Yandex?). If so not good for e.g. Chrome or Edge?

It's a standalone app and not an extension on link I gave,it's supposed to cover the whole device but it doesn't block YouTube.
Definitely works on Android Chrome/Edge/Brave and a few others.

Looking at the blurb it suggests that it creates a pseudo network adapter which sits between the "device" and the actual data connection - i.e. a local VPN - which allows it to filter the traffic.

I use the supplied Samsung internet browser, and that has an option to 'block ads' - a slider switch to select which method to use (there are about 8 to select from - including Adguard - I have the Adblock Fast slider set but obviously it's a personal choice).

Like Adguard there are two types of Blokada...

At Google PlayStore there is "Blokada Slim".

The better Blokada is available from their website https://blokada.org/ .

Or at other trusted places such as F-droid.

There's a similar thread here...

I can understand why Google PlayStore are not keen on offering efficient adblockers.

Google makes a good living out of placing ads on websites.

'a good living' has got to be the understatement of the century !
