Does anyone have any adblock solutions (esp for YouTube) for unrooted Mibox?
Using VPNs like VPNUnlimited or PIA with adblock in place will help.

Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong here...after some searching, I can't find much info.
I used AdFree on my Incredible. When I would run Wireless Tether, it would also block ads on my PC. I never even got a single YouTube, Pandora, or Hulu ad. I don't know exactly how it was done; it just worked.
Now, I'm on a rooted Rezound using AdAway. It blocks ads on my device, but not on my PC when tethered as AdFree did on my Incredible. I tested by accessing one of the blocked URLs in the hosts file...it was blocked on my device, not on my PC.
I thought maybe the webserver needed to be enabled, but no, that wasn't it. I've tried with both AdFree and AdAway, cleared DNS cache, etc. Is there some setting I'm missing in either Wireless Tether or AdAway? I know it's possible somehow; I've changed nothing on my PC and it worked perfectly on my Incredible.
Perhaps I should add that I'm running ICS (CleanROM 4.5) on the Rezound and Froyo (SkyRaider 4.x) on the Incredible. Any ideas?
Hello all!
About two weeks ago, I used the "stump root" method to root my G3. The root worked according to the root checker app as it verified that I am rooted. On my previous phone, the Galaxy S3, I used AdFree by bigtincan, and it worked like a charm by blocking all ads, including YouTube, reddit, and any in-browser ads.
So, naturally, I downloaded AdFree to use on my G3. But the problem is, it doesn't seem to be blocking many/any ads at all. The ads in my redditisfun app are not there, but I still get YouTube ads and ads still appear in Google Chrome while browsing the web. Does anybody have an explanation for this, or possibly another ad blocker that will work for all ads?
Thanks in advance!

Give this a shot. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55051253
I've been using Adaway for a couple weeks with no issues but I don't have first hand knowledge of those particular apps.

Adaway works great from first day of root
I have Adaway and I can help you with Chrome ads. In Chrome there is an option under bandwidth management called reduce data usage, that needs to be off for adaway to work with Chrome.
YouTube ads unfortunately are no longer blocked by adaway automatically, there is a way to make it block the ads but I can't remember exactly what it is. You can find the information on that in the adaway thread. It does prevent the preview images from loading but that's the only issue with doing that. There is an xposed module to block YouTube ads though.

I've installed adfree on my rooted phone, but it's not blocking ads, even after multiple reboots. I have LineageOS 14.1 on my Honor 5X rooted with SuperSU. I've allowed root access to AdFree on SuperSU and tried updating the host file through AdFree but nothing works. Does anyone have a solution? I was also considering using AdAway but I heard it doesn't play nice with mobile networks.
Thanks!
You should root with magisk. There is a module called Unified Adblock in the module list and it's very powerful!
Well I've already rooted with SuperSU which worked without a hitch so I'd like to use that so that I might not mess something up with the installation of magisk. I heard AdFree is also a powerful tool so how can I get that working?
Ok, an update:
After reinstalling AdFree it seems to be blocking things now, but it is not blocking ads from certain providers. I see that there are things listed in the TCP log, which I assume are blocked ads, so it is blocking things. How do I get it to block ads from, say, Google Ad Services? It doesn't seem to be blocking those.
Hello
Since about a week, my Samsung Internet Browser on a rooted Xiaomi Mi A1 with Resurrection Remix 6.2 shows google ads when I search something despite the add-ons Adblock Fast, Adblock Plus, AdClear Content Blocker and AdGuard COntent Blocker are installed.
On adblock plus 'allow some nonintrusive advertising' is disabled.
I tried to disable thos addons one by one and enable it again.
Apart from this a have installed adaway. But from my understanding this module has another job than block ads in the browser.
Some suggestions what I'm doing wrong?
Hi All,
My mi A3 is rooted, I try to keep it somewhat up to date ”qssi-user 10 QKQ1.190910.002 V11.0.8.0.QFQEUXM”
And Magisk as well. I keep using AdAway all the time but the ads are still there. Checked the hosts file - all good with it it, tried Systemless hosts (not sure what it does), but I still see ads (simple banners) in apps. And they are not in the "bad apps" list. Very simple small apps have ads in them. I sometimes manage to have them removed (the apps) but in a day or 2 (maybe after restart) they are back
Any clues? Anyone with similar issues?
You should use this Magisk module called Energized, I don't use it anymore, but it really worked great for me. The setup process is little involved tho.
Currently I'm using Private DNS service from AdGuard to block ads - it doesn't need root access and the setup process is very easy. You don't have to download anything either. It works quite well for a no-root solution
