It's not blocking any ads, I even tried adding google.com (and enabling chrome in apps settings) but it still didn't work, not sure what I'm doing wrong, I realized it didn't work because I added a hosts file to block youtube ads, which weren't... I'm on android 8.0.0

Chrome uses it's own DSN resolver by default so it bypasses DNS66. It must be disabled:

  • Search "chrome://flags" in Chrome search bar
  • Search "DNS" in flags search bar
  • Disable "Async DNS resolver" and close the tab

Also for in app ads the following system apps can be toggled down in DNS66 settings:

  • Google Backup Transport
  • Google Play Services
  • Google Services Framework

(Switch the Android system language to English for DNS66 to display English app names)
