You mean like a pi-hole? I use one of those and I love it. Ain’t no way I set up one of those for him. Then that’s another thing I have to support when it inevitably has problems.
Adaway on fdroid works pretty well. It’s better if you have root access, but it functions fine as an adblocker without. I think it pretends to be a VPN service if you don’t have root

Not a pi-hole. DNS name resolver can be set by system. You just need to use some sort of blocker that is maintained by someone else for the namespace
Any suggestions?
check out this list: https://publicdns.info/best-adblocking.html
using the adguard dns is probably easiest, fire and forget. nextdns gives you more settings and controls.
on android you can e.g. drop “dns.adguard-dns.com” in the “private dns” setting and you’re good, system-wide
