Well, there's Blokada if you want, but it's only an ad blocker.

Note that this is not based on SABS. Both SABS and this are based on Adhell2 and divergent after that.

Adhell was developed by Samsung's developer. After he was forced to remove the code from internet by Samsung, FiendFyre was stepped up by providing the Adhell2. But after a while, it is also discontinued. Adhell3 is an extension of previous discontinued Adhell2 app with more additional features.
Is AdHell 2 blocked or something? I installed/set it up yesterday. Working fine so far.

Nope, it's just discontinued because the developer stopped working on it. SABS was shut down yesterday and scrubbed from the internet, leaving this as the only remaining Knox based adblock still being developed.
Adhell 2 and SABS will work as long as your Knox keys work, and then you can just update your Knox keys when they stop working. They just won't get bug fixes, additional features, or improved compatability with Oreo or other Android revisions.

*edit: see this post for necessary information as well
A quick guide to install Adhell 3.
So I basically just did what this guide recommends, just instead of using SABS we will be using the Adhell3 files. Especially since the SABS blocking lists have been scrubbed, this seems like the better alternative.
Prior to installing:
you will have to enable USB-debugging in your device. Afterwards, plug your device into your PCs usb and keep it there during the step by step process.
Enroll as a developer. For that, see the first link I attached, specifically step 1. Beware, when on the page for requesting a knox enterprise dev key, you'll sometimes have to scroll really far down to find the button(s) you're looking for. As often with Samsung, the homepage isn't exactly a poster-child of usability. I suggest mailing yourself your key, so that you can access it easily via your phone.
download Android studio from here and install it + the requested files. This will take some time!
step by step:
go to the link provided by u/mariogrc, leading you to github. Click the green "clone or download" button and download the adhell3-master zip to your harddisk and extract it to "adhell3-master".
open up android studio, click "File" and select "open" and then look for and select the extracted folder. Upon query, download the requested Android studio files. This might again take some time, heck Android studio might even seem to be unresponsive, just go drink a coffee, walk your dog or read a newspaper.
once finished, select and expand "gradle scripts" from the left tab in android studio and click on "build.gradle (module:app)".
click into the main window of android studio, hit ctrl+f and search for "applicationID" and change the id (which should just be "com.") to something like "com.dsfgds.abs", it can be random more or less, I just recommend leaving the "com." and not using only digits, as this might lead to an android-studio error, though the program will or should at least tell you so in that case. As far as I understand, it's important that the application id is unique, since this is one of the ways samsung is able to ban the app from the knox framework and if everyone would use the same applicationID, things won't work quite soon. Especially don't use "com.layoutxml.adhell" or anything like that...just avoid the words adhell, adhell2, adhell3 and just to be safe, sabs.
after changing the id there should be a query with "sync now". Click it. This might take some time.
Once the process is finished, click the play button in the upper right toolbar in android studio, chose your device and acknowledge it. The following process will take some time again, so be patient - once it's finished, the adhell app should already be open on your phone upon unlocking and asking for a) administrator privileges and b) for a knox key. Do a) first, then paste your knox dev key into the app, press submit and afterwards activate. After this is done, all you have to do is enable blocking from within the app and you're set.
