Hi,
Did someone tried to modified host file to block ads in TF.
I tried, but for some reason it blocks every website not only ads.
I tried to use http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
I guess the syntax for host file in honeycomb and windows is different.
Anyone know how to make it work?
I tried adfree in market and it does the same thing: block every thing.
thank.
i have adfree and it works just fine.

+1 for AdFree, easier than manually editing the hosts file.
I use Absolute System tools. It has other goodies too.

Does Adfree only block the in-app adbars, or will it work like AdBlock+ and 'fix' webpages in the stock browser, too? I haven't rooted, but this might convince me...
adfree blocks the source of the ad, so depending on where the ads are coming from, they will simply not show.
let's say you have an app that grabs it's ad from www.example.com or 123.345.232.1, and adblock blocks those ips, whenever your app tries to load ads from those place, nothing will happen, and your app will simply think you're offline.
same goes for browser ads. as long as the source is blocked, then the loading of those ads will fail.

Does anyone have a .apk file for the Dolphin HD Adblock add-on? Tried a few places to get it working and just not having any luck with it at all. Thanks.
There exists a apk on xda somewhere that blocks ads. I don't know what It's called, my usb cable broke...
Anyways, the apk works like a charm.

No market access. This is the only "droid" device I own. Trying to see if I can find the .apk of this though

I saw it on the market back in May of last year when I was setting up my first Android 'phone and thought "great!" Problem is though, it was pulled off the market not long after that, never to be seen - whether by Google or Dolphin, I suppose we'll never know.
I stumbled across this link though, which has the APK of the original blocker. It's not quite as versatile as ABP in that it doesn't support auto-updated community blocking lists. Instead, it has a preconfigured set of keywords and sub-URLs which you can add to or edit.
The first thing to do is add ".admobi.com/" (without the quotes); that one wasn't caught by AdAway (which I recommend you also install).
Hi. I am planning to purchase the PRO key for Titanium Backup but I need to understand some things better before I buy:
1. Will the pro key allow me to restore the apps and link them to the Market? (Meaning they will show up in "My apps" section in Google Play Store and I will be able to update them as usual, they would act as I have downloaded them from the store)
2. Referring to the above question, is it only possible with the PRO key? What will happen if I restore with the free app? Nothing will show up in "My Apps" section in Google Play Store?
3. After I backup, should I leave the backup on the device?
Also, for some reason Adaway doesn't block all the ads (I am not sure it even block ads). Is there any tutorial to use it? I have downloaded the latest hosts file from the app itself.
Thanks!
1 yes
2 with the free version you'll have to hit the install button for every app. I recommend getting the pro version it will give you more options
3 leave the backup on your phone
Google removed ad blocking apps from the market

Okay so just to be sure, restoring with the PRO key is just like downloading directly from the store?
And about AdAway, I installed the apk but it doesn't block certain apps. Is there something I can do to make it block all ads?

Yes it will be just like you downloaded from play store. I noticed adaway not blocking like it use to I think the dev needs to update it

For me I don't get any ads over Wifi but I get them while on Mobile data. It's quite annoying because I'm not really used to them since adblock seemed to work fine on my HD2 and even on this phone on 4.2.1 stock rooted.
I think I accidentally downloaded a hosts file to data/data/hosts. How can I revert this (if I should)?
For adblocking, I often use firewall to block internet connections (wifi/data) of the applications, and also using a hosts file, too. It works
Anybody else having this issue? tried both adaway and abp, neither one of them block ads. is there something im missing?
Adaway only works on rooted device with root privileges granted to it. Adblocker Plus, to my knowledge, doesn't work in browsers. For unrooted web browser adblocking, you have to use a browser with an adblocking plug-in like Firefox.
tablets def rooted, tried both. doesnt seem to block website ads like my pc does. weird.
That leaves 2 areas to look at:
1. adblocker configuration and the ever-popular Is It Turned On?
2. the browser you're using
On my rooted Nexus 7 stock 4.2.2, Adaway works swimmingly in Chrome but not in Firefox which needs it's own adblock plug-in. Perhaps Chrome counts as a "system" app while other browsers not using Chrome's rendering do not and, thus, no blockage occurs.
Try Adfree dude. Works nicely here
Find it on XDA.

yeh its weird. Thing is it will block some ads but not others. If I disable it, it blocks more ads then if it was enabled. But if I enable it, it doesnt block as many ads as my desktop browser. That makes no sense. At first I thought it was the hostlist, so I typed in the same hostlist i use on adb for my desktop (easynews) and still get the same results.

Thanks for this. Tried it, same thing. Blocks some ads, not all.
I don't like AdAway, it blocks a lot of websites unnecessarily, and I get tired of adding websites under white list, so I am looking for something else. I have tried one app called Adblock Plus, but it doesn't work properly, I mean it doesn't block most ads, and it force closes a lot of time.
What do you guys use to block Ads on Chrome?

I know about Mother of Ad block, but the main question is, does it too block some websites, like AdAway?
Uh, Adblock Plus is a plugin for browsers, and Chome doesn't support plugins...
It does, however, work perfectly on Firefox.

Anyone know of a good popup blocker for browsers?
Mainly Chrome or S' Internet?
I don't the really mind the ads, I kinda get it.
But the pop ups are so intrusive, if it just pop outs once sure that's fine. But if it's happening everytime or every page reload/change, that's different.
Just disable popups in:
settings>advanced settings>popups: never show

Doesn't work against intrusive ones.
Woudn't have asked if it does.
But thanks anyway.

Is it from playstore? Or a plugin/externsion?
There's so many "adblock" apps out there, care to share a link.
Don't mind if I have to pay, but want to pay for the right one that actually works.
Samsung Internet will offer you a list of available content blockers if you click in its menu. Try Adblock fast and or Disconnect
Adguard from the same list works well

Also recommend adguard.
Tale care.
I use adguard for rooted/UnRooted & it blocks ads system wide (apps, games, & browser ads) but requires a small yearly subscription. If your using & only wish to have blocking in Samsung native browser I'd recommend adguard content blocker as the others did. In Samsung browser I believe that you can use up to 5 blockers at once, depends on what & how much you want to block. Happy surfing ?
Blokada
Download F-Droid, install Blokada.

It's not really the ads I'm annoyed about if they're not that intrusive it's fine but the annoying popups are a different story.
But I'll try Adguard. I'm using adblock browser recommended a few post back for the sites I goto that has ridiculous pop ups.

AdGuard pro (paid) will block popups, ads, trackers, offers multiple DNS servers (I use encypted adguard dns) and you can choose app you want to use it with and without. If you can spend around $15 for the 1 year subscription you won't be disappointed but if you find something else (maybe free) more power to ya, whatever gets the job done friend.
Cheers.
Congratulations You Won Ads
I am looking for a pop up browser to block the "Samsung Galaxy Note 9 User You Are A Winner" ads. Does anyone have any suggestions I am using Adblock fast right now but they still pop up. Is there a way to block or remove these ads?
Try a app (apk) not on play store that also has bilt in vpn. Its called blokada.
You can get extension,s from chrome market,! I prefer Firefox focus for my browser ,and they offer tons of Droid extensions,,and tools
its easy and fast.u can ad any search engine u want
