Root your phone and install AdAway
Adfree is free better than adway ..

That won't block porn websites - just in-app ads.
OP - does your service provider not give the option of adult filtering at their end? In the UK it's actually turned on by default and you have to request if you want it off.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendmicro.tmmspersonal
It gives you a fully functional version for 90 days and then you have to decide whether to pay or not. It has parental block for the internet.
Edit: Actually, a search for parental block apps on Google Play turns up quite a few...
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=parental+block&c=apps
Thanks a lot it works
Nice idea to use a parental control for myself!

Awesome App that modifing HOST file in your android , and more advance than other ads block app's , that u can update it easily form the application
Suggest "ROM Toolbox"
One of the tools in ROM Toolbox Lite is a hosts-file modifier that can block ads, casinos, porn, and 'risky' domains. Seems to work well and it's nice and simple (as long as you've rooted your phone of course).

I'm also looking for android filtering apps to block sites while surfing or use apps. But it seems it's a little more difficult to make it than developing the features on Mac or Windows operating system. I use Aobo Internet Filter ( http://aobo.cc/aobo-filter.html ) for Mac and PC, but can't find any apps to block unwanted sites for android phones. I want to know if you found anyone, just tell me, thanks.

The country China has a firewall set up so specific websites like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter etc. can't be accessed. This is what he means.
EDIT: Lol, sorry you beat me to it.

Cannot work. Unable to connect for me.
You could perhaps use AutoProxy and dig up a proxy on a non-firewalled port to connect. There was a time when Proxy Hunter on Windows was good for finding them, but it has been years since I have used it.
http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/ has a reasonably fresh list.

Vpn is the answer, but you need server outside of china. I'm sure there's some app that can do that, but again, you need server. Vpn is virtual private network, like proxy but more sofisticated.

Use a proxy program...i use Ultrasurf, its portable and free, i think its gona work

VPN is the only thing I found to work.
A free option that somewhat works is DroidVPN (on the market) but for the heavy stuff I just use my house VPN provider, StrongVPN has a nice deal where if you buy one VPN account for the house you can get a second one for a very cheap price, I use the second one on my phone.
Their prices are reasonable at around 60$ per year.
I heard there are specific places in china where the internet isnt filtered o-0.

When I was there, I used sshtunnel to connect to my Linux box at home, which had sshd listening on 443. Worked perfectly.
Forgot to mention, there are sites out there that let you test access from China to your home IP prior to going there.

Actually I am using iwasel VPN service on my android without rooting my device, it gives me 6 connections at the same time with perfect speed and security, here you can find a discount code https://www.iwasel.org/en/trysmoketunnelfree/ and you can get an account for trial before paying money.

You will need to set up a VPN to bypass the Chinese firewall.

As stated above. A little more info. The Chinese government is allowed to monitor all traffic by its citizens. As such they block most outside competitors like Google and fb mostly due to them not allowing the government access to the info.
When browsing the internet my phone keeps forwarding me to gotfreebies .org... i have checked my apps with airpush and there was a dog whistle that said it was dodgey so i removed it.. however the prob is still happening.. Its quite annoying! is there anyway to find out what is causing the prob or will i need to reset my phone? thanks

This happens to me when using Chrome and the stock browser, normally when on xdadevelopers website. I can't remember exactly, but i'm redirected to a site wanting me to install a battery saving app.

Use some kind of virus scanning app such like dr web may help.

Yes I get those too, rather annoying. I hope its just the site and not some app or virus.
I just got one
This happens to me every now and again, and its happened on XDA more than once.
I took a screenshot just now when it happened.
It only pops up in the browser so I assume it is most likely an ad, but it is also aware of my location.
It goes here:
gotfreebies . org/contest/au-ipad-contest/index.php?c=AU-s2
(I'm not allowed to post links so I added spaces)
It's seriously annoying and I sincerely hope something can be done about it.
I'm using a Galaxy tab 8.9 over wifi.
XDA has gotten a lot of ads lately. I hate the flash ads that play at the bottom of the screen with sound. I tend to have a few XDA tabs open and its super annoying trying to find the one thats playing.
Banner ads and flash ads don't bother me that much but these freebie.org ads just fill the entire screen on my phone. Now that is seriously annoying
had same issue. restart solved it for me.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Getting the same ads very annyoing like a pc browser hijacker redirects browser to their site get it mainly on xda but have had it 1 or 2 times on other sites.
Would be nice to know whether this Is an XDA ad or a virus.
I also get it, only on xda. I use ICS+ Browser. Very annoying.
The flash ads with sound on my desktop are extremely annoying as well. I too open multiple windows at once, and it is a real pain trying to find the noisy window.
It is an ad. It is harmless.

Is it an official xda ad? Why do they make it behave just like malware? That's what browser hijackers do. I've never seen official ads do anything as obtrusive as that.
I am getting tired of these ads, there is another similar or maybe associated ad for a site called 'mobrewards.org' too.
I get them on other phone related sites as well, just now I got one on phonearena.
I have found the google adwords complaint page and I'm going to submit a complaint.
Maybe if we all do then they'll do something about it.

Nothing found. It's the browser's being redirected, but only on XDA for me. I never ever see an ad like that anywhere else. No notification ads, no other unusual ads anywhere.

The ad seems to be a browser popup, it is not associated with any apps.
It is targeted towards mobile users and it seems to only occur when using a mobile device.
If you search online for gotfreebies.org or mobrewards.org you will see that the problem is experienced by Android and iPhone users.
these ads are the ones which remind me to enable ad blocking after flashing a new firmware. adaway and root are your friends
+1 to Artesea
No wonder if you can't find any of your favorite ad blocking apps such as AdAway in Google play, Google is removing them as of today.

They prevent developers from making money. Obviously it would be happening sooner or later, I'm also surprised they remained until now.
No big deal to me. People need to make money somehow. Frankly, though, I prefer those that offer a free ad-supported version and a paid version. If I use an app a lot I'd rather just pay for it and remove the ads. It's often a bummer when people only offer ad-supported versions of apps.

You can still get AdAway from F-Droid.
Also, you can do ad blocking at the kernel level and it is already implemented in custom kernels for our phone.
Just block ads by host file I can link the file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/hat49do241hhuy8/hosts.rar or quick Google search, even quicker download, use a file explorer that has root privileges move the file to /system/etc/ rename your old one or just over write it........ GL
EDIT: You will need to unzip/unrar it then move it to /system/etc/
Re: Ad blocking apps are nuked from play store
Also I posted an ad away here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39144524
Compiled from source. So plenty of options for everyone.
AdAway has been my favorite, can't live w/o it.
Thanks a lot, gents

any ad blocking or host file software? I'd disable those. If not Id try a different browser if that doesn't work I'd try a different rom. Newer heard of this.
Turns out it was ad blocker built in to the ROM. Rehashed and disabled it and it's good to go.... But now I have ads which bites. Why would an ad blocker block shortened URLs anyway?
