Is there a service for Android that is credible for blocking advertising on my Android mobile phone?
Advertising is out of control to a level I just stop looking at many sites.

I use pihole on my home network, quite effective at blocking ads for entire network (warning: some assembly required). obviously it only blocks ads when I'm connected to home network.
You could make it work anywhere if you run VPN server at home. It's not too difficult if you have some IT skills and is well documented

install firefox as your browser

3 dot menu -> add ons -> add on manager -> enable ublock origin

same on your PC.

if you want a device-wide solution try the adaway app.
