AdAway
AdAway is an open source ad blocker for Android using the hosts file.
What is AdAway?
An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing. There are options to run a web server to respond to blocked hostnames and to direct requests to the IP address of your choosing. You can automatically download hosts files from the app but it is possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists.

Said about AdAway as an alternative
AdAway is like Blokada but the main developers for AdAway are really mean to people.

The app updates the host file periodically but doesn't need to run in the background in order to block ads, which is especially convenient for older phones.
Juste, it's work
