Yes, what you just read is 100% legit. It is now possible to block all third party ads (Including pop-up ads) on android without installing any app with the help of DNS.
What is a DNS?
A DNS (Domain Name System) is a network protocol that allows devices on a network to resolve human-readable domain names to IP addresses. This is important because most internet-based services and applications use domain names (such as google.com or youtube.com) instead of IP addresses to identify themselves.
On Android, the DNS is used to resolve domain names to IP addresses whenever you try to access a website or connect to an online service. This allows your device to connect to the correct server and access the content you are trying to reach.
To block ads using AdGuard DNS on Android, follow these steps:
Open the settings app on your Android device and go to the "Network & internet" section.
Select the "Advanced" option and then tap on "Private DNS".
Select the "Private DNS provider hostname" option and enter "dns.adguard.com" in the field provided.
Save your changes and AdGuard DNS will be activated on your Android device.
You can verify that AdGuard DNS is working by visiting a website with ads and checking to see if they are being blocked.
If you want to customize your ad blocking settings, you can do so by logging in to your AdGuard account and going to the "DNS settings" section. Here, you can enable or disable different types of ad blocking, as well as enable other features such as phishing and malware protection.
Using AdGuard DNS can help improve your browsing experience by making websites load faster and reducing the amount of clutter and distractions on the pages you visit.
