What is local app based tracker blocking ? Like ublock origin?
On Android, DuckDuckGo provide an app called App Tracking Protection which blocks everything trying to track you/phone home via the apps you’ve got installed. Drawbacks are you that you can’t run a VPN client at the same time.
Internally these types of apps are using DNS based blocking similar to this app https://f-droid.org/packages/dnsfilter.android/
Install nextdns on your router and unlock origin on your browser.

The way Adaway works is similar to DNS blocking, it modifies the system hosts file which is like a local DNS. I would divide ad blockers into name resolution based (Pihole, Adguard, Adaway) and client side filters (Ublock origin etc).
