It's more than what meets the eye! Sure Ads are annoying, but they aren't the real Threat!
It is the Analytics and Trackers that are in place to support the ads. They collect your info nearly every app you run and nearly every website you visit to pull together a profile on you to better target ads.
While ads are a relatively benign function, that same data and technology can be use in much more harmful ways.
A VPN can encrypt supported traffic between your device and the VPN server. Ad and tracker blocking is a separate control, and no blocker can stop every first-party, account-based, or device-level signal.
A VPN connection and ad blocking do different jobs. Test the browser you actually use, with the filtering controls available in your app.
Use the same device, browser and network. Note which optional filtering controls are on.
Run Super Adblock Test in that browser. Inspect the requests and categories, not just the overall score.
If a site stops working, change one optional filter and repeat it. Keep the route and network steady.
A result describes that browser session. It does not certify VPN encryption or promise that every ad in every app will disappear.
