I know you were only talking about ads, but the other problem is you can't stop the spying and tracking, since the OS itself does that (and most apps as well).
Until there's a viable FLOSS smartphone alternative (highly unlikely since it would take tons of capital investment and marketing), smartphones are in essence surveillance capitalism devices and suppressing the ads will be an ongoing struggle.

My phone has no ads, no spyware, no malware.
Yes I know, you're not talking about my kind of phone, you want smartphone apps without ads/spyware, but that's what apps *are*. That's what smartphones *are*.
LB: It's important to watch that video posted by @futurebird that I just boosted. It's about farm labor and abuse of the H2A program. How trump rolled back the reforms to it that were passed in 2024. Why they want workers going through H2A "contractors" (slavers) instead of directly hiring either H2A or undocumented workers -- or Americans.
