Google is in a position to disrupt ad-blocking in Chrome (via webRequest API) and on Android (via DNS over https).

This makes both mBlock Origin and PieHole obsolete. Where do we go from here?

Firefox?

On Android it won't work I think. Some DNS queries will go exclusively through Google DNS - ads mostly I am afraid.

And I am also worried because my main desktop platform is ChromeOS. And my main adblocking strategy had been DNS based. That sucks.

The Android Firefox browser is great. Not only does it do everything you expect a modern mobile browser to do, but also supports extensions, including uBlock Origin.
