I'm always kind heartedly helpful for those willing to try things.
I think it's folly to block ads within each individual app, but on Chrome,
at least on Android's Chrome, many people use the dns servers to block ads.

 Set it to dns.adguard.com or one.one.one.one or 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com
After setting the private DNS hostname in your Android settings,  Open the Google Chrome browser.
 On the URL bar, enter 'Chrome://flags' and hit Enter.
 Now search for 'DNS' and disable the 'Async DNS' option.
 Now enter 'chrome://net-internals/#dns' in the URL bar and hit enter.
 Select the DNS tab and tap on the Clear Cache option.
Can you try that in your iOS Chrome browser to see if that works on iOS?

(In my other post, I'll explain system-wide DNS ad blocking in detail.)
Note that adguard is just one private DNS option, but you can start there.
