I'm using the adguard DNS but seem to be having the same issue.
In the last few days the Tapatalk app on my phone (Android) has been running slow with the added pain of pop up adds, apparently I've no security issues so thought I'd look at ad blockers, any experiences?

I'm using the adguard DNS but seem to be having the same issue.
I switched to Brave as my phone browser, its built in.
I use the subscription adguard system wide android add blocking and tracking software.
This works better than just the dns server.
I dont use tapatalk though so i cannot say for sure that it will work but no doubt there will be a trial version for you to see for yourself.
I use Blokada (V4, rather than V5 or V6) on my Android handset and I don't see any ads in Tapatalk.
