Hey everyone, I'm still pretty new to using my GrapheneOS phone and have been slowly transitioning to a more privacy oriented technology lineup than I previously did.

I searched for clients on Google and found "Total Adblock", "Adblock", and "Adblock Plus" but I'm not quite sure how to audit an adblocker for security flaws or malicious intent. I also would prefer to install apps through the F-Droid store and learn how to compile from source code on mobile (if that's possible on GrapheneOS or if that's even something desirable)

Thanks for any help! Been lurking a lot on Lemmy and have really enjoyed the energy in the community. Definitely has made learning Linux and the countless times I've had to fix my Arch system much more enjoyable. GrapheneOS has been quite stable too other than the phone having interfacing problems with my cellular provider's network...

Incorporating it into your DNS as [email protected] said is a great option. The Mull browser from F-Droid allows uBlock as an add-on but is just browser specific. Setting up both would be a fantastic approach for overall mobile privacy.

For Adblocking in browsers try Brave (Adblocker is customizable via brave://adblock) or Mull with uBlock Origin (hardened Firefox for Android by DivestOS)

No. Do not use chromium based browsers, period.

Firefox + unlock origin is all you need

Chromium based browers has better security and isolation. Which makes you safer against threat actors, crosssite tracking and fingerprinting.
