Hi guys, Anik this side.

 
So many of you must have been facing ads in apps that work with the help of Android System Webview and in webpages, so here is a trick to get rid of ads.
 
(You have to perform BOTH 1 and 2 step-by-step to get the results)

1. AdGuard Private DNS.
 
You have to set up a private DNS. The advantage of this is that you will neither see in-app ads, nor see ads on your browser. Like when you open a webpage, there are ads in between the content and at the botton etc. Those ads will go away, and you will be able to browse the web cleanly. This also removes ads from "Weather" and "Samsung Health" app.
 
THIS PRIVATE DNS IS COMPLETELY SAFE AND SUPPORTS DoH, DoT AND DNSCrypt, AND IS TRUSTED BY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE AND THERE ARE NO CASES OF DATA LEAK OR BREACHING. ADGUARD IS COMPLETELY SAFE.

Here are the privacy notes:

What you have to do: (Check the images if you have doubts)
 
1. Go to Settings 
2. Click on Connections
3. Click on More connection settings
4. Click on Private DNS
5. Select "Private DNS provider hostname"
6. Enter dns.adguard.com and hit save.
7. Restart your device.
 
Note:- This does not remove ads from YouTube and YouTube music.

Well I know this and want to use but can't because VoWifi doesn't work with private DNS😢. So I don't use Samsung weather, Pay or Game launcher.

Btw great job sharing this. It's gonna help a lot of people.

It does have an impact on network speed, but it is negligible.
