I am trying to figure out how to install the AdAway through Root Based Ad Blocking... when I click the option I am greeted with Rooted Android Required... Either Su Binaryu could not be found or you did not allow root permission..

I am just coming back to the Android Ecosystem... and never rooted a phone before or anything like this before. I installed GrapheneOS the second I got the phone, I didn't bother with Stock Android that came with the Phone. I have been enjoying my experience, however from time to time, I do get rather annoyed with the Ads I get from OfferUp... I had no idea they flooded the App with ads.

    This is because Graphene is not rooted.

    Rooting a device introduces significant security holes and, in some cases, defeats the purpose of having a secure phone. Its the very best practice to not root your phone unless absolutely necessary.

    Look at DNS-level adblocking, for example, Nexdns or Adguard private DNS. You can also use local DNS-based adblocks, for example, TrackerControl.

      Volen You can also use local DNS-based adblocks, for example, TrackerControl.

      You got me excited for a minute there. But unfortunately, its still a fake-VPN type of adblocker, not a local-private-DNS.

        thanks for the responses everyone. I just wasn't sure, as I am not very experienced with Root and Rooting phones. I do enjoy the privacy which is the most important for me. I thought maybe I was missing something in the set up...

        I don’t get ads, so I’m a bit puzzled by all this.
