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?

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!

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 ran both Avast and Malwarebytes separately (delete one and install the other) and both detected nothing malicious.
Ran Airpush Detector and Ad Detect plugin, no helpful results.
This happened after downloading Wechat and some automatic updates of a few apps. I have since deleted Wechat, but the problem persists. The few apps that were automatically updated at that time were: Facebook, Foxit,Gmail, Google Drive,Google+,Kik,Maps,FB messenger,Twitter,Whatsapp Messenger, Twidere,Swiftkey keyboard, Mini Warriors. I have not tried deleting them yet, but it seems to me that they are pretty legit apps.
Some examples of the adware in action:
Taking over my lockscreen with this annoying blue lockscreen:

Occasionally the adware's lockscreen will contain ads:

Pop up ad:
i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp270/ravenoz_bucket/Screenshot_2016-04-11-17-12-45.png
I've also noticed that the pop up ad would occasionally be opened from the default Android web browser, as the web browser will be opened with an "about:blank" page with the pop up ad in front. A browser hijack as well ? :crying:
I am trying to avoid resetting the phone, hopefully there are possible ways to troubleshoot this adware

Try the app Addons detector, find the apps that are causing the ads to popup on your phone, then remove those apps.

Apparently this particular adware only targets INO, how did this even occur ?
Found solution from here: yampblog.blogspot.sg/2016/03/solved-ino3-android-smartphone-suddenly.html
The adware masqueraded itself as a core system app and also in another apk. Geez.

Interesting how you're seeing this. It looks eerily familiar to something I found after downloading the Flash Keyboard app. After downloading, and only while charging, the phone will show a second lock screen often with ads (for apps from the same company). Even more annoying, is that the app grants itself admin rights - so the only way to uninstall is to visit the admin section in settings before you can remove. Anyone else seeing issues like this for other apps?
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.
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
I am facing an issue with some website that does not load on my System after windows 11 installation.
The website opens well on my mobile but it gives issues on my Samsung Desktop.
I am using operating system 11 with all the software updated.
Like whenever I open a website (MOD EDIT: link removed) on the Desktop, it failed to load.
I have tried different browsers like Chrome, Opera, etc but it gives the same issue.
I have also tried clearing the cache and browsing data but still all in vain.
I hope that you will assist me in resolving the issue.
It might be due to the windows defender. Try disabling the virus and threat option in settings.
@sohaibiqbal123 Thanks for your quick reply. I have disabled the windows defender but still, I am facing the same issue. I don't know why this is happening. Should I reinstall the windows?
Did you tried microsoft edge? it is working for me
Go to browser settings, open privacy search and services menu, check your settings there and privacy level.
It could be either a browser or an antivirus that is blocking some websites.
First of all, it's a good idea to change your browser to something else. We recommend chrome or firefox.
Check if you can access these websites in Chrome and Firefox. If you can access it, your browser was blocking those websites because the certificate for that website has expired.
If you change your browser and still can't access these websites, your antivirus is blocking those websites and you should try another antivirus to check.
