I saw there was a thread about ad blocking on android but I was wondering the best methods for ad blocking that cover the entire phone if possible like in app ads and such as well.

Why limit yourself to just your phone, use a pi-hole and block ads for your whole network.

And when I’m out, I have a vpn running on the phone back to my home network and block ads on 4g/5g as well

It’s DNS based ad blocking, isn’t it? If so, it doesn’t help with all kinds of ads.

YouTube still slips through the net unfortunately.

Yes, because their ads are served on the same server (googlevideo.com iirc) as the actual videos. Blocking that domain would block the videos too.
