Hi all,
A quick question, couldn't find anything online...
Is there a way to turn off the feature that suggests downloading an Adroid app for the website your visiting?
Normally when you browse to certain sites (e.g. LinkedIn) from your mobile browser, it redirects you to a new landing page suggesting you download their app, normally with the option to "continue to mobile site" on the same page.
This is probably the actual sites recognising you are on Android and adding the page themselves, but would really like a way of turning this off/blocking this ability. If I wanted the app, I would download the app myself!
Cheers

Sorry if I wasn't clear... I know how to get off that screen, and to browse on desktop view too, but what i want is websites to not add the extra layer in when I browse to them, advising there is an app available.
I still want to browse using the mobile site, just doing want the extra landing page to appear

I didn't think it'd be doable easily
So, the website you visit, uses Java to show the extra landing page when it notices you're on android, nothing to do with browser or android itself?

Yeah bro ur browser will send its profile every time u visit a site and based on that the sites server will send u a site compatible for ur device if it exist seperately.. So no way u can block that without disabling java

Was wondering if you guys could help me to find an app to do this? Certain sites like ebay go straight to their mobile version when I try to access it on my phone... I want to be able to go to the full versions of websites ask the time. Is there an app that would block sites from being able to read that I'm on a phone? Thanks

You can change your browser settings to make it look like mozilla or anything you want. Try reading google or anywhere else instead of posting questions with answers everywhere.
@fenixnr. You can't do that on the stock browser anymore. Don't be a troll.
@ O.P. you have to use an alternate browser for that. Try dolphin HD. Then look in the setting and change the user agent to desktop.

If you're running any 2.2 ROM, you can use the stock browser to view non-mobile sites by typing "about:useragent" (without the quotes) into the address bar and selecting "Desktop" from the dialog that comes up.
Aside from that, you will need to use another browser from the Market.
The ucweb has the function you looking for. It is the most popular mobil browser in China. I don't know if there is a English version.
ok thanks guys... i have dolphin hd so i'll try that... i actually like the stock browser better so i may try that method as well, you have been a big help, thanks!

If anyone is interested adfree can also be downloaded directly from the developer's website - adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk. Unfortunately as I'm a new poster I cannot post the above as a URL.
Can i with this app ignore browsers ? I want ad free without browsers, it's possible ? If yes, how to ?
thank you very much...

question. I installed this yesterday, everything is great, up until i tried playing anime videos from my dolphin browser and i cant play those videos anymore, tried to uninstall this app and even the browser and still cant play videos, the site will not play the video if there is an adblocker. What do you think can fix this?

If I understand your situation correctly, you:
Installed AdFree
Used AdFree to apply the custom hosts list
Had problems with playing videos from one (or more) web sites
Removed AdFree
Continue to have the same problems with playing videos
If this is roughly the sequence of events, then you should not need to un-install AdFree.
In fact, uninstalling AdFree probably left your hosts file in its modified state (with ad-related sites still blocked).
Instead, you can click on the Revert button in AdFree. This will return your hosts file to its original condition. This also ought to restore joy to whatever web sites are finding AdFree disagreeable.
This should allow you do run ad-free most of the time (click Download & Install Hosts), and disable ads just long enough to view the videos you wish (click Revert).
Hi all. I see this thread has been quite for quite some time. I am hoping someone can help. I have been a user of AdFree for a while. I noticed that one website I frequent is impacted in that I can no longer see the comments section of that particular website. I added the domain in question to the "white list" but that hasn't helped. Can anyone who understands this sort of thing help? I love the functionality it provides, but not being able to comment on my favorite site is an issue. Anyone? Thanks!!
@ShermCraig The workaround I use in these rare cases is to open AdFree, and tap the "Revert" button. Then I can do all the usual stuff on the offending web site (or app). After I'm done, I once again open AdFree and tap "Download & Install Hosts" to regain ad-protection.
Yes, it's ugly, but it is actually pretty quick, but I did promise only a workaround, not a solution.
Question: What do you mean when you say "added the domain in question to the 'white list'"? I don't see that AdFree supports any kind of whitelisting.

I've actually done this and yes it does work temporarily. Unfortunately (for me) I visit the site so frequently that it becomes too much. Trying something else.
In answer to your question: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ - log in, and there is an exception list.

Guys, I've been working on building this site for the last month or so:
http://www.websitetoapp.net
To summarize what my website does: This is a simple Andoroid App Builder from any content, in literally 1 click.
You don't have to know a single line of coding.
It's enough that you have some content to share. For example your website, or your blog or your twitter account ( twitter com/ your user name) or Facebook pages are good examples.
Trick: Even your favorite website is a good idea to make an app!
I hear you're asking "Ok but how do I monetize it?"
Monetizing you apps are as easy as one click. (You will only enter your AdMob ID while building your app.. As easy as copy and pasting). So that you can get 100% of the ad revenue.
So please check it your self!
Would be glad if you could leave your feedbacks.
Thanks

Maybe this is a stupid question and I apologize in advance.
But maybe someone can direct me in the right direction.
I want to register an account with my weshare (car-sharing) app.
They authenticate via email which includes a link to the URL "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" which my browser opens (lineage 18.1 with google-apps).
Of course this fails due to "unknown url scheme" etc.
How does a stock Android handle this link? Turn it over to the right app? But how?
And if so, does a stock Android capture _every_ link I klick on?
How does this work? (normally)

Hmh, this is really strange.
The support says it works on iphone and "normal" Android. (The whole Volkswagen login thing is based on this. So I really believe it works "normally") But I am also sure it does not work on _my_ lineage.... As expected my browser (any browser) opens with an error...
And this is as it should work, I think. But how does it work on all the other phones
(the support also says it _only_ works on smartphones. So there is something happening I don't understand. Something like the OS scanning the URL and passing it to the right app.)

the link doesn't work "as it is" according to the weshare-support.
It magically only works on the phone.... ( it is supposed to work there, the support tells me. )
Ahhh, after one week chatting with the support this diskussion with you gave the right hint!
As you confirmed that the OS does not interfere I had the idea that therefore somehow the browser might pass the token back to the OS somehow..... (I am not a developer)
So I installed chrome on the smartphone and "alas" it works!!!
(chrome on the PC gives xda-open... error which is a hint as well.)
So I _have_ to use Chrome :-(
I already came across the next "bug". The street I live in exists twice in this city but the app only lets me choose the first "hit". So my postal number will be wrong! WTF....
As far as I know, this specially formatted URL like "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" is called an app link or a deep link.
There are many similar deep links.
For example, some URLs as below:
market://details?id=xadave.SmartUnitConverterFree_Google
amzn://apps/android?asin=B00Q3V4VNC
......
If you enter the second deep link above in the address bar of your mobile browser, it will open up the Amazon Appstore app on your mobile device and directly link to the detail page for a specific app which is available on the Amazon Appstore.
And the first app link will open up the Google Play Store app on your Android devices and directly link to some app in the Play Store.
So, I think your app link, "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas", will link into your weshare app, too.
Android App Links are a special type of deep link that allow your website URLs to immediately open the corresponding content in your Android app (without requiring the user to select the app).
