I've been trying to use the crackle app but it gets a network error and stops at each point where a commercial is supposed to begin. I'm guessing this is because adaway is blocking the ads.
Is there a way to fix this or temporarily disable adaway, or possible remove the blocks for the ads crackle uses?
Thanks!
I am using add blocker. And don't have any problems.

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.
Hi
Am using Adaway to get rid of the annoying Ads but there's some App keep showing them. I used Adfree before with the same problem. Is there anyway to completely get rid of these ads?
Thanks ?

Not helpful info but I will say I just uninstalled my add blocker yesterday because it was unreliable and also blocked legitimate web surfing from time to time. Along with taking up space in my notification panel and status bar I just got annoyed with it.
Ran it for 3 months might give it another shot in a year.

So if you are rooted (I guess so), have you tried firewall? At least for apps you think they don't need internet connection --> without connection adds are gone + you are more secure. (Since no data can be uploaded from your phone by those apps)

if you knew the url of the adserver, you can simply add it to your hosts file.
in adaway, tap the menu key and chose "your lists" (may not be accurate as i have the german version).
add the hostname(s) to the blacklist by tapping the + symbol at the upper right.
to get the adress of the adserver, any app that can capture your network traffic should do it.
i´m using the app "network connections".
some apps may refuse to work after adds being blocked.
maybe sometimes it is just not possible to get rid of them
if you want me to test anything, just name your app.
I had the same problem with AdAway, so I assumed that perhaps my version of AdAway was not the latest and therefore the blacklist downloaded was not up-to-date. So, after running the in-app update option, then downloading and appending the latest hosts file, I was able to finally get rid of the few ads that were still getting through, namely in the 1Weather app. Again, you might have already done this, but if your AdAway app is the same version as the one I am running, then it should be able to block out all the current ad servers no problem.
As a heads up, this requires root and Xposed/Cydia Substrate. ART users run away!
So I had recently acquired a Hulu Plus account and, as we all know, it is littered with ads! What to do?!?!?! The first thing I tried was AdAway, but that didn't work :/ Apparently the app brings up this error screen when AdAway blocks the ad. So then I installed Root Cloak and applied it to Hulu. Presto! AdAway is able to block the app without detection! Huzzah!

Doesn't work, as soon as it gets to an ad the app crashes. Says there's an error, if I disable AdAway it works fine again.

Same thing here.
Android 5.0.2 if that helps.

What os?
I got so excited for this. But this is really old post and certainly doesn't work.
That would be like using ad block plus and hulu on a rooted device. Hulu doesn't care about root. It needs the ads or it won't work.

Hey guys. So I found this absolutely great app to block all ads in any browser and across all apps called adguard and it doesn't even requir root! Here's the link for those interested.

My review:
For those of you that trust and support XDA development, there's actually an XDA thread for this app from the developer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57172864&postcount=1
I didn't realize that at first but had an issue with #NoChroma browser; I used the in-app support to report. I was impressed with the response and follow-up. My settings actually work better with Chrome so Chrome with Adguard is a better alternative to #NoChroma's limited ad blocking browser. I'm using the Adguard root settings.
Having the quick disable service is handy but the one site that hit me with a persistent welcome screen that suggested I view their lite ad browsing experience was squashed by the user filter. I may be wrong but mobile browsers need more freedom from such persistent ads, pop-ups, full banners and admonishment to disable ad blockers.
The filters can be synced to update without user intervention. If you use the root settings, the persistent notification can be disabled. Both settings are deep in the menu. If you try to disable the notification with a long press in pull-down, the service will stop frequently. Do it right and service is reliable.
Only web browsing ad blocking is free but using with Xposed MinMinGuard module and YouTube Adaway, the rest is covered. So far the experience is actually better than Adaway with MinMinGuard.

Thanks for the info! Wasn't aware of all that. I simply stumbled upon it from a Google search after hearing someone mention it in a comment on sammobile but I do like it. It does block all of my app related adds but it's a free trial only so I do plan on purchasing it whenever that's up and also to support the developer of course. I'm completely stock so this is great because ads are the number one thing I miss with root.

Better than Adaway? I use Adaway with custom host sources (like most all of the adblockplus, fanboy subscriptions, unbelovedhosts, malwaredomains_full, and more) and minminguard and youtube adaway in xposed. I got a whole bunch of host sources in my Google Keep I just copy and paste every time I flash a new rom and reinstall Adaway. I've not used this one though...

Adaway was more work but does a better job at blocking ads in apps. I had an export file that took nearly 30 minutes to import from extSdCard and apply at one time but cut it down to 10 minutes (slow). But it still needed occasional add-ons and finding that I'm blocking a potential wanted service is sometimes annoying to find. I've still only had to add one user filter get around one site.
This one does the browser blocking with a lot less effort and gets updated frequently. Some of those other hosts sites can block too much but that would depend on your preference as well. If your labor is rewarding, enjoy what you have. If you find it high maintenance, try this as alternative.
It's not an alternative to YouTube Adaway and MinMinGuard. I prefer to use it with those services as I did with Adaway, before. It's best use is for blocking browser ads, that service is free.
The fact that it doesn't require root, means it could possibly become more popular in time.

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

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
Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk
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 ?

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
