Let's take for exemple :

When i use my android browser to see streaming videos, i often have popups ads that i can't block (see the exemple). I tried all the browsers in your list but i still can't prevent theses popups.
Do you have a solution ?

I would suggest finding another streaming site or stream from torrent.
For torrent streaming you can use an app like "TVS - Torrent Video Streaming"

This one is another option to look into. Firewall, Free, Open Source and no root required. The down side is that this will take over the VPN function so you can't use a VPN and this at the same time. The reason it does that is to route the traffic into it and control.

This version also allows you to import host files to block ads. Not 100% guarantee but it is something at least. It has block ads from some apps I've used and while browsing at times.

Hi Guys
I'm looking for someone who can sell to me software to blocked whatsapp video callings.
i was using Disa plugin because its doesn't have calling features only text, when someone try to call me it's shows to the caller that (*** this number is using a phone that doesn't support whatsapp video calls. **) but later this year it stop working with whatsapp but working in other apps like telegram and Facebook messager, so if anyone had an idea how to design whatsapp without video calling features like Disa plugin apps, I'm ready to pay the dollars.
Thanks guys.

There is a good app called youtube vanced that is a different youtube app with all the ads blocked.

[Introduction]

So one of our members posted a question:

According to you, what is the best way to delete the ads on a Android smartphone ? I would like to remove ads on Chrome, Youtube, my games, etc.

And being a helpful person that I am, I'm going to share what I know about blocking ads on android.

[Disclaimer]

Some methods mentioned in this thread are dangerous because we will be editing system files, I am not responsible for anything that can and will happen to your device.
If your device breaks, you get to keep all the pieces.

[Methods]

• {Using an ad-blocking browser}
  This one is pretty straight forward, there are mobile web browsers that have ad-blocking capabilities
  The one I use daily is CM Browser, although the most popular one is probably the Brave browser
  Cons: Only blocks ads inside the browser, not system-wide
  Pros: Easy to setup, root is not required
  
• {Disabling connection to the Internet}
  Also pretty straight forward, if you disable the Internet connection ads just wont show, so just disconnect from your wifi and disable mobile data.
  Cons: You can't access the Internet obviously, can't play games that requires you to connect to the Internet.
  Pros: Very easy, no setup required, just works.
  
• {Patching apps}
  There are tools that you can use to patch-out ads from applications, one of these tools is LuckyPatcher.
  After launching LuckyPatcher you'll be presented with a list of installed applications, now just chose the applications that you want to patch-out ads on, than go to: "Menu of patches"->"Remove Google ads" and select "Patch to remove Google ads"
  Cons: Does not work on all ads, you have to have a rooted phone, you have to re-patch after every update
  Pros: It works pretty well in some cases
  
• {Blocking known ad-service's by DNS}
  This is the one I use, basically you modify your device's hosts file to stop ad-service domain names from getting resolved.
  The easiest method to accomplish this is to download an app called AdAway, you can find it on the F-Droid app store.
  Cons: You have to have a rooted phone and have write access to the system partition, only works for the ad-services that are included in the public list (Otherwise you'll have to add it manually)
  Pros: Works pretty well, easy one-time setup
  

[Final notes]

Personally I use AdAway and CM Browser on my device, I do believe that AdAway is enough but using a browser centered on privacy also helps.
If I missed something ore you know more ways please share them in a reply to this thread.
