I used to have adblock plus on my old phone, but I don't on my current phone. I went to get it from the play store, but I couldn't find it on there (I think it was removed). I went to the adblock plus website, but they only have a specific browser that blocks ads. Is there any official way to get the old app that would block ads for any brower, or will I have to get it from some random website? If not can someone give me a link to the most updated version?
you can use adblock browser (a firefox browser with adblock)

I encountered the same thing, so I use firefox as my main browser. There are add-ons like adblockplus and clean quit.
I've also heard good things about javelin.

For android or the computer?
Android. Its not as friendly with google websites since its not based off webkit, but I make it work. Its also not as nice looking, but it functions more like a desktop browser to me.
I have the stock browser as my backup, and flashify for when I want to switch between browsers.
I run stock (TW browser), firefox, Puffin, and Link bubble.
Just download adaway and walk away. Blocks all ads at the host level of your phone. I haven't see any in app ads or browser ads in years.
Yeah I downloaded it it seems to be working thank you guys
Adaway is the best, does what it supposed to do exactly and more.
I dislike adaway because it disables redirects. and certain websites use them... I know you can whitelist redirect links, but it needs to be updated everytime you find a new one. so.. yeah
I've rooted my G3 and have had issues with pages not displaying in full site views @ all (e.g. Accuweather) or incorrectly (e.g. Google Play) for some time now. I get "Server Error...Connection refused...Error 500" when trying to display pages in full site views in Chrome and Dolphin browsers. Other sites, like Google Play display incorrectly/wonky in full site and mobile views, meaning almost in a pure text view, no page search bar, etc. Also, I've noticed when going to the Weather Channel site, the page language displays English and Chinese/Japanese = odd. I've done a factory reset and still have this issue. I know this wasn't a problem before but I don't know if the rooting or use of of post root apps have done the damage. Right now, all I have are some basic rooted apps - ES File Manager, Cerberus, AdBlock Plus, SuperSU Pro, Titanium Pro, Webkey, Widgetroid, and Tasker. I've searched for answers and even went to LG for help, but nothing is resolving this issue. I'm @ a loss of what to do...anyone help, please?
What browser? I've had weirdness with the AOSP browser(s), never used Dolphin, Firefox, etc.
Chrome, both stable release and beta, work fine, altho I generally do not prefer full site view. If Chrome, perhaps try deleting Data then completely uninstall via Root Explorer / ES File Mgr by deleting the .apk in System/Apps, reboot, and download Chrome from Play Store.
It's the default browser with the phone, which is Chrome. I've tried Dolphin to see if it was Chrome and the same issues show up. It's odd that these problems didn't pop up until recently. I first noticed it when I tried to go from the Accuweather app to a detailed forecast via the app and noticed the full version webpage would not show. The more I looked into the issue, the more sites I noticed similar problems along with the newer issues mentioned.
Will the uninstall/reinstall create any issues since it's the default browser of the phone? I don't know if other parts of the ROM will falter when I try that fix.

Have you tried disabling the ad blocking? I have had problems (on a previous device) like this with certain ad blockers in place.
So I had rooted my S6 edge yesterday and install adaway but it noticed a lot of pages would not load up at all with it on, like food network for one, so I uninstalled it and installed adfree and still the same issue, in both cases if I went into the apps and reverted them back the pages loaded fine. Now the weird thing is this is specifically an issue on that phone alone, I've never had an issue before, I have adfree on my Shield Tablet and it will load the exact same page just fine, even when it's internet connection is thru the phone via wireless tethering. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this problem and if there's a way to fix it?
And update to android system webview in the polar store solved this problem for me.. See if you're on version 42.0.2311, which should be the current version which solved my issue
Unfortunately it wad already updated to that version, I tried reverting to stock installed version and same issue, reinstalled the update and all same issue :/
I have not installed adaway so excuse my ignorance, but why not just install firefox and use the adblock edge add-on? I'm curious why there is a need for adaway? Does adaway just block ads on the native android browser or does it block ads as well on apps?
Thanks

Mainly because I don't like the Firefox browsers, I like chrome much better as it actually syncs between all my browsers, especially my pc side I use chrome there as well. And yes, adaway blocks ads in every app, not just browsers.
Got it thanks, i don't use sync at all on chrome or FF but just so you are aware FF also i believe has a sync too.
cheers
Hello,
I would like to start using Android Pay, but it doesn't work on rooted phones.
The only reason for which I am rooted is to be able to use AdAway, as I don't tolerate ads in any shape or form.
So my question is: It is possible to block in-apps ads without rooting?
I know some app but i find Adguard is the best for unrooted (my phone is samsung brand)
Adguard
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adguard.android.contentblocker
apk: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/com.adguard.android.contentblocker.apk
ABP - Adblock Plus: Many users recommend me this app but i never tried. i found an app on Play Store i don't know if this is it or not, some say it was removed from Play Store but i still find an app from Play store?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.adblockplussbrowser
apk: http://choilieng.com/apk-on-pc/org.adblockplus.adblockplussbrowser.apk
I recommend you use Adguard. Really helpful.:good:
I like bbc whether apk. A few days ago they blocked this app and without opening account and login in you can't use this apk. Ridiculous. I found on the web older version of the apk without any restrictions. Just works as it should. But now google play store wants to update it to the newest version with restrictions. Is there any solution to get rid of apk from google play store but keep still the old one in the phone?
