have you tried using pi-hole or adblock plus running on a raspberry pi on your network?
whenever i'm off my home wifi network, i have wireguard configured to connect home and get me that ad blocking. it's so nice.
yes, i prefer to use brave for personal stuff and i use edge for work stuff (reasons,,, don't ask)
I ran AdGuard Home for a while but it was causing too many problems for everyone else at home so I stopped.
These days I’m using AdGuard on iOS and ublock origin with Firefox on everything else.
It's definitely better than nothing, and greatly improves things, but UBO is better. Try watching a youtube video in a browser with UBO, and the android app on a network with pi-hole, etc.
