    For adblocking capability I use Kiwi browser on Android, into which I added the uBlock Origin extension. (Chrome on Android does not allow installation of extensions - unless that has changed very recently?)

    My preferred browser on Android is Brave which does eliminate a huge amount of ads. Is there anything else i could install to ensure they all go?. 
    Blocked scripts in Settings? But that might block picture in webpages too.

    Hi jenni_D
    I don't use Kiwi browser.
    I use Fennec F-Droid.
    But, just out of interest...
    Can you combine your uBlock Origin addon with a DNS based adblocker?
    (as suggested by tallmansix in his previous post).
    So that AdGuard DNS or NextDNS or Mullvad DNS or whatever do the heavy lifting and uBlock only has to filter whatever gets through.
    I can do this with Fennec F-Droid (or Firefox Beta).

    I can't answer your question as I've never tried it, nor even looked at such a thing. :) 

    The extension just gets added to the browser the same way as it would in Chrome on desktop, and works the same way.

    That's OK.
    Both are not necessary.
    I'm now using...
    uBlock Origin addon
    with
    Cloudflare dns
