Block Ads in Apps on Android
I've used both and Blockada is better mainly because it has a couple of killer features. One example is that it will keep the app alive, so that the power saving features of your phone does not kick in and turn it off.

Any experience with NetGuard? It has similar functionality and walks you through preventing the battery optimization from killing it.

I haven't really tried. Blockada never gave me a reason to.

How does this affect battery life though?

I have between 1-2% battery usage.

You forgot to say what timeframe.

No matter what time frame 1-2% is 1-2%.

The time very much matters. 1-2% per hour is much different than 1-2% per day or per week or whatever.

I assume that's Android's stats about what % of battery each app uses. If so, time doesn't add anything.
