A large part of the problem is that you’ve bought into a platform (Android) where the OS developer (Google) depends on the revenue from pumping ads at you, and selling your personal data - as their primary source of revenue. As intrusive as possible up point you consider switching.

Even if someone did write a plug-in that blocks that crap on Android chances are Google won’t allow it to be installed.

We’ve already seen what happened with adblockers - ads got so annoying plug-ins we’re develeoped to shut them out. Still highly effective on OS X and iOS. But on other platforms those that depend on advertising revenue were quickly forced to comprise attempts to block ads on Android. Microsoft isn’t much better either.
