On Android 9, you can do this even more easily:

Settings -> Network & Internet -> Advanced -> Private DNS -> set provider hostname to "dns.adguard.com"

Adguard functionally operates similar to a Pihole install - it just maintains a DNS-based blacklist. You give them your DNS queries, of course, but in return you get an almost entirely ad-free experience with just one setting.

This is definitely simpler, thank you.
