What is the current best way to browse on Android without ads?
I found some old discussions from 2015/2014 that recommend Firefox+uBlock Origin or root+AdAway.

This is probably the best bet. There are quite a few options available with Firefox on Android that you won't get going with any other browser. Sure, you can download a specialized browser that _just_ blocks ads, but you're missing out on the other features that come with Firefox (like HTTPS everywhere, Ghostery, or whatever other stuff you like).
I use AdAway, as far as I know it's never caused any issues for me. The nice tying about it is that as it's /etc/hosts based, it'll block ads in apps too.
Its based on Code aurora forum code which is based on chrome code. Basically it is chrome, but with ad blocking. It also happens to be much faster than chrome. I also use firefox, but it doesn't seem to render some sites correctly. However it seems to be the only browser that supports plugins.
I wanted something similar for Chrome, as the websites the ads on some websites are so obnoxious that you can't do anything on that page without unintentionally clicking the ads.
