At the risk of repeating meself, there is an alternative solution with very low
overhead, superfast at the
application level, but perhaps not for the faint of heart:

The idea is so simple I should have thought of it myself. I've been using it on
laptops and desktops for
years.
Dunno how difficult it is to replace the hosts file on hand-held devices,
although there is, for example,
a fix on Android. Requires jailbreaking, like all the fixes I found:

Wary Windows wights may want to use a hostfile editor:

Google Chrome Has A Nasty Surprise

With almost 70% market share, Chrome has well and truly won the web browser war.
A crucial factor behind this is Google’s commitment to seamless updates and
improvements, but now the company has admitted Chrome’s next major upgrade has
an unavoidable nasty surprise…
In a new public document called Manifest V3, Google has announced it will
change how extensions work in Chrome and the big casualty is it will break ad
blockers - arguably the most popular extension any web browser has.
