I'm asking because I always used adaway on my rooted note 4. When I updated to marshmallow the old version of adaway I had been using for years wouldn't run. I tried adguard and it blocked that too. I'm not rooting my edge so the adaway that works on rooted marshmallow is useless. I don't want to update and be agreivated by ads.
Mine works fine

Mine works fine. Although google blocked SSL filtering with user certificates for apps outside of the browser which sucks.

Even though I'm using adblock plus I seem to receive ads in apps, why? I've never seen this before

I am running BigTinCan's AdFree and LBE Security Master's built-in ad removal, haven't seen a single blurb.
Could be something application-related.
Some apps have their ad built into it, if so the adblocker can't do anything (because sometime they have it connect through their own server)... In this case the only way to remove ads is to modify the app itself

I just rooted my phone and was curious what others use. What's the best ad blocking app out there?
I use AdAway
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I prefer AdFree. http://adfree.odiousapps.com/
I also suggest adaway.
https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway
adaway for me however some apps got smarter and not all ads are being blocked
AdAway easily.
I don't have this device (yet), but I'll throw in. AdAway, supplemented with AFWall+. It is a GUI front-end to iptables, which allows you to set per-app access to the network. I only allow apps that actually need network access through the firewall.
Not much gets past that, and it has the nice side-effect of dramatically reducing both battery usage as well as network usage.
+1 for Adaway

how do you guys get adaway to block youtube adds? I installed it to get rid of the ad on youtube but they are quite resistant

Use the Xposed module, YouTube AdAway.
I tried using Xposed module for my phone but it does not recognize the moto X pure 2015.
Adfree works great

You have to get the one for android 5.1. It works. I just did it.
No talk of the MinMinGuard Xposed module for app-specific blocking (sans Chrome and presumably YouTube)? I'm still window shopping so I'd like to hear more impressions.
Is there an app for adblocking in the galaxy store? I thought I read about one a while back. I searched in the store but nothing came up.

There are a couple options, like Block This!
Adblock plus for Samsung it's in the play store

Well that's odd. I used it for a while and it ran just fine.
I've been using Adgaurd for the past week and it works just fine for me. Haven't noticed a hit on the battery either.

This. Adguard is so awesome I purchased the Lifetime licence. (40% off until the 5th). It blocks browser ads as well as app ads. And while it can (and will certainly) show up in the stats with a pretty high usage, that's not the truth, as it used a local VPN to remove the ads, so when Adguard shows up in the stats with X mb consumed and Y time on, those are just really other apps that went through the VPN.
Here's a really detailed report about Adguard and battery usage.
AdAway is my favorite, but I don't think it's in the play store anymore.
Edit: oops, forgot that AdAway requires root.

Block This would kill my internet, and NetGuard would kill itself off constantly. AdGuard works well, and yeah, I snagged the lifetime license with the sale going on.
So far adblock plus seems to be working well for me. Thanks guys. What is that vpn stuff some of them have going?

For those of you using a vpn based ad blocker like adguard, do you leave it on 24/7 or only turn it on whenever you need it?

I leave it on 24/7. very satisfied so far. ?
Using crystal for samsung browser, works great very battery friendly, browser takes a bit of getting used 2 after chrome but it's optimised for the S7e.
I know they've been mentioned in other threads, but can't remember which ones. They're probably also super buried in those threads. So, yeah, what do you use?

The vpn is local, not going to a remote server - you aren't passing any data to their servers (outside of the licence check).
I've been using Adguard for the past few months, works great.

How do you get rid of the annoying notification, that never goes away, with adguard?

You can't, it's part of how Android does VPN.
Adguard is very good.

nah.. I get about 6 hours sot and 22hrs with it enabled all day. Also use it while streaming music with screen off on YouTube. My battery doesn't last much longer without it enabled. I think you think it uses a lot of battery because all traffic goes through it so it looks like its power hungry in battery stats.
Adgaurd browsers for android ?
Started using Block This. It's great. Creates a local VPN on your device and filters out all ads. https://block-this.com/how-to-install-blockthis.php
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I ended up removing Block This cause it was causing problems with some Tmobile services like Wifi calling and I think it was the reason why some apps were unable to launch.
Netguard. Works well with wifi calling and open source
Regarding Adguard, is there anyway to remove the "VPN is activated by Adguard" in the notification list?

I can confirm this, coming from a OnePlus 6t the one thing I was missing not being able to root was ad blocking. I got Adhell3 up and running, pretty easily actually and now I don't miss root.

I'm using the Adguard (3.0.291), and it works fine.
You need to download the app from their website.
https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
I was also able to use AdGuard (3.0.291). I moved to Adhell3 to use in conjunction with a vpn.
Both have worked great though.

The Adhell3 dev put together some scripts that pretty much automates building:

It's much easier to me than trying to hack a prebuilt app. Plus, you know you have the latest and greatest version.
Most annoying party will be rebuilding every 3 months when the edu Knox key expires.

Dns and vpn in general are not a threat.
A malicious dns provider could redirect your traffic to a clone of your banking site.
A malicious dev or vpn could play man in the middle and copy or snoop on all your traffic.
Really is about who you trust. Turning vpn and your selected dns off means you trust your service provider more. Which is prob fine.
My vpn is provided by ProtonVPN, I trust them. I use the OpenVpn app and trust them, so I leave VPN connected 24/7

I'm using adguard and it works perfectly for blocking any ads. However I have some issues with it blocking my entire connection until I disable and enable it again ?
