That's great whilst you're at home but as soon as you go out and switch to your mobile network you're back to being tracked again surely.

Is there any easy way around that?

Thanks for the replies all. I do appreciate the time taken out of busy lives. However, I did specify "easy" and as soon as you start talking about creating your own VPN and the like you've lost about 99% of the people out there who are perfectly intelligent in there own right but when it comes to computers they barely know what a sub-directory is.

Hell, I've been a software developer for years, and once built my own PC, but I balk at the idea of building a pi-hole. For a lot of people you may add well ask them to change the engine in their car.

Until there is a plug and play solution to privacy I do believe it belongs to the digital 1%.

Create your own VPN and install the DNS blocker there. [Algo VPN](https://github.com/trailofbits/algo) is a great start. Furthermore, you could repave the VM daily or in any time interval. Using WireGuard as VPN protocol as opposed to OpenVPN and others will increase your browsing speed to the point of making it feel you are not even connected anywhere.

Not every piece of the puzzle is going to be a silver bullet. You can still run ad blocking extensions in web browsers.

Have a look at dnsadblock.com. The mobile app is not so great but I'm getting there.

There should be a plug and play mobile app for that?
