Its a tricky question, since an adblocker could prevent a lot of sites from working, or maybe even Android apps. I'm not the expert, but it seems that here is very minimal tracking risk from ad sites if javascript is disabled.
I'm also not familiar with ad-hosting in Android apps. Is the network traffic handled by the app? Seems like in that case, the system-wide DNS filter would aide privacy. .hc Nathan of Guardian: > I have considered this as an Orbot feature, along with some of the No > Root Firewall /Little Snitch capabilities.
