Mobile firefox is compatible with desktop addons, so you can still use ublock origin on your phone. I also use pihole to cover my whole local network and wireshark to VPN my phone to my local network when out of the house.

I generally do everything in-browser and do not use any other mobile apps, so no youtube app, etc.
