Question Recommended steps to remove ads on new phone?

[littlebigman]

Hello,

My new Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 4G is on its way.

It's supposed to be running Xiaomi HyperOS 2 with Android 14.

I'd like to have confirmation from the experts that those are the recommended steps to remove ads as much as possible:

1. Connection & Sharing -> Private DNS → Use dns.adguard-dns.com or Mullvad
2. Password & Security -> Authorization & revocation -> Deactivate "msa".
3. Shizuku + Canta from Fdroid website to remove pre-installed or user apps

I read that "Universal Android Debloater Next Generation" is not needed for Android 11+.

Thank you.
