It's just a dns server. You need to use Firefox with its tracking protection and plugins like ublock origin.

Or you can use a dns based ad blocker like pihole so all your devices on your home network is protected.

Then if you are like me, you set up a wireguard server at home, and configures your phone to use that as an always on VPN. And then your phone is also protected by your pihole even if you are away from home and using 3g/4g traffic.
