Use an adblocker in your browser and an ad-blocking DNS server like Mullvad DNS (it’s super easy on Android, just search for Private DNS in the settings and set it to
base.dns.mullvad.net), AdGuard DNS (same thing, super easy, just set it todns.adguard-dns.com) or NextDNS on your phone (and ideally on all your other devices). There’s also an app called AdAway, but it takes up the VPN slot so you can’t use it together with a VPN.
