Is it possible to block ads in games on CM Kitkat(rooted Tab 10.1), I have installed adblock plus and adaway. But it only works on webbrowsing.
i dont think so ... maybe for google ads sort of what lucky patchers "patch to remove adds" does.
for now i dont think anything like that is available. just use it offline
I recommend AdAway... Of course the trade off is that you have to root your Device.
But, after installing this you'll only ever see the pre-ads in YouTube. But, thankfully you can for the most part skip those.
Otherwise in-app banner Ads will be a thing of the past.
I've also found this App to be great at blocking Ads in Spootify as well On my PS3 I might get 2~3 Songs in before an Ad....
While on my AdAway Droids, there are absolutely NONE!
The only bad thing... Is it will block Googles top ad based Searches which kinda sucks if your looking for something to buy. But, on those occasions you can turn it off, or train up a Whitelist.
Hi fellas, I know this is an age-old question but there's seems to be scant information available on this. Let's share our knowledge to figure this out. This is the list I've come across during my short research:
Adblock Plus: Blocks only on Wi-Fi
Adguard: Removed from Play Store, anybody knows how it is?
Adaway: The best, but requires root.
These are the only mentionable ones I found. Do you guys know of anything better? Which is the best way to go for non-rooted device? Thanks ya'll.
i think you need to enable ad-blocking on your browser since you are not rooted cause you cannot apply system-wide blocking. some of the options are:
-AdBlock browser
-any browser that supports extensions like Firefox and then install adblock extension
-also these ones have adblock feature built inside: UCbrowser, Javelin, Dolphin, Maxthon, Naked Browser
good luck
Adguard Premium
I just installed Adguard app and it has a premium option that it claims will filter adds for applications as well.
Has anyone tried Adguard premium?

hello guys
i'm so sick of the ads and popups on chrome, i don't want to use another browser
i need to make chrome doing it job without any ads or popups, i already blocked the pop-ups and redirects and ads but i still gets popups and ads especially when i surfing on a movies website you know they have a lot of ads, and i find it easy to block them on PC chrome by downloading extensions, but on mobile it's hard
my phone is : pixel 2 xl running android 9.0
i'm also using adaway but he can't doing a thing with chrome
How do I remove all extensions on Chrome?? The pop up ads just drive me crazy and they won't stop! te[email protected]
IMHO blocking typically only really can be achieved by steadily updating phone's hostsfile - what requires phone's Android is rooted. Thus it's also possible to block hundreds of porn sites. This method doesn't need a VPN additionally gets used as that's the case with AD-blockers like Blokada for example.
Hi all.
I've had a problem with websites (including this one) redirecting to adverts on both my phone (OP 5T), and my partner's phone (Moto G7 Play). Both fully up to date, and unlike me, she leaves all settings on their defaults.
We both have the latest version of Chrome (v75), with the "Pop ups and redirects" blocked. We don't have dedicated Adblockers as they aren't rooted.
The pop ups tend to happen on XDA, Den of Geek and Android Authority; but never my other haunts, such as News or gaming sites. A quick Kaspersky scan revealed nothing.
I don't even know what to search for. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have videos of both, but as a new user I can't post links.

Anyone have any thoughts? I'm out of ideas.
first time posting on the P6 forum (last had a P3).
previously, I used dns.adguard.com for the Private DNS setting. however, that was not blocking all of the ads from within some apps. it worked pretty well until then. Now, I downloaded blokada 5, and that successfully blocks almost all ads. the lone problem is that when connecting to a website, it often slows it down.
curious to see if anyone has a similar experience or recommend an alternative to dns.adguard.com.
thanks!

I personally use both NordVPN as well as AdAway with root; AdAway has a VPN function of its own, and you can use your own host lists, but the VPN solution is more resource intensive than the root solution.

interesting - thanks for the quick reply.
i do have windscribe, but rarely use it. i have not rooted this device yet, as my understanding rooting will disable Google Wallet/GPay - and I use those more often than I would need to hide ads.
+1 to AdAway, plus if your preferred browser supports it, install an adblocker in it as well - I use uBlock for Firefox.
There's also MinMinGuard which has recently gotten an update to make it work on current systems, but that requires Lsposed if you don't already use it, as well as individually enabling it for every new app you install. Honestly, though, with AdAway plus a browser adblocker, I almost never see any ads in any app, so I don't find MinMinGuard necessary anymore.
Ad blocking apps like Blokada and DNS-based ad blockers like AdGuard can be effective at blocking ads, but they can also slow down your browsing experience. This is because ad blockers need to process and filter out ads, which can take up resources and cause delays.
One alternative to dns.adguard.com that you could try is Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. This is a free, fast, and secure DNS resolver that also includes ad-blocking capabilities. Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 uses their own ad-blocking technology which is based on the same technology used by their enterprise-grade Web Application Firewall (WAF). This can block ads at the DNS level, which can be less resource-intensive than using an app like Blokada.

No root will not disable Google Wallet/GPay, you just have to install Safety net fix module and all works great, for banking apps just hide root into settings. I use all my banking apps, card tokens and gpay/wallet everyday. Rooking root + adaway.

i tried installing the 1.1.1.1 app from cloudflare, and it did NOT block the ads on my scrabble app. thx for the suggestion though.
Have you tried using a browser like Brave which would help with your browsing experience. I use a combination of Blockada for system wide blocking, pihole for in-home network based blocking and browsers like Brave/DDG for blocking and so on. I have a tasker based activity for turning on/off blockada when in home/out of home. It's my non-root solution.
Additionally you can also lookup -
ahadns.com - you get a customised secure dns url, you can setup filter lists and the URL is configured based on the seelctions.
nextdns.io - something similar to the above. 300,000 free ad-blocking queries per month and past that, the non-blocking DNS service will work till the next month.

Hey, just stumbled across your post and thought that if you use piehole at home, you should be able to just use a VPN to you piehole when on the road so you don't have to rely on third party apps. Don't know about performance though, but you might give it a try.
Cheers
Been taking NextDNS for a test ride. Easy set up with a lot of features, up to 300,000 queries per month for free. What's not to like?
Fast and running pretty smooth so far, day 7.
