Particularly twitch -- on my old G3, I had Adaway, and it did an amazing job of blocking all ads from twitch, but now it seems that without reliable root (I know we just found root for the OG Pixel Verizon) there isn't a good one that covers all the bases.
Twitch is pretty ruthless with their ads, multiple times lately I've been in the middle of action watching PUBG and bam -- 6 ads pop up. Their algorithm is stupid that it doesn't control for activity or let the broadcaster play ads during downtime.
Does anyone have a good method of blocking Twitch ads and generally other ads? I don't like how Adguard makes you use those weird-as-**** web browsers, I wanna just use Chrome...
Blokada.org
Have you tried the Samsung browser. It has support for third party add ons like adguard content blocker and a ton of other great features like night mode and private mode with passcode.
Adguard is the best non-root adblocker out there.

I just tried this as well, and it only works with 'Yadex Browser' and 'Samsung Internet Browser'
I don't want to be using a different browser as I like Chrome.
Are there any non-root adblockers that work with Chrome?

when you install it - as part of the setup, it asks you to choose a browser - saying only 2 are compatible and asks you to install one. it won't get through the setup without installing on.
I've just chosen AdGuard from Google Play Store - is this the right one?

Google bans all the full working ad blockers from the store. So any that you get or test will have to come straight from the developer.

Not true,it's works on Firefox,chrome, Microsoft edge Opera and app adds on your phone
Download app from website and go to settings and pick your filters
DNS66 works a treat...
Are there any that work on the facebook app? I still get ads in the middle of videos.
Is it safe to run Blokada and DNS66 together or will they fight each other?
Disregard - answered my own question.
I bought a cheap VPS server on OVH and install PiHole on it. Then I set up my WiFi router with the PiHole DNS. It brilliantly blocks ads at home.
I don't use those local VPN adblockers as they use a lot of battery.

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.

I just use Chrome, and am rarely bothered by ads. There is one notable exception to that... XDA! The ads on here load really slowly and make it a pretty unpleasant browsing experience on my phone (keep hitting the wrong links because of delayed loading of ads causing the page to reposition itself at inopportune moments).
I use Firefox with adblock +. Works fine.
Yes...XDA is a horrid experience with ads. Though has anyone tried the updated built in browser? Apparently it also has a built in ad blocker.

I am going to give it a go, as the update has given it a cleaner, lighter look and added full-screen mode. No status bar when browsing, so you can enjoy all of our beautiful big 5.5" screen! Hopefully the ad blocker is useful and they have made it less of a battery hog!
Update on the ASUS browser - it seems that it has a pop-up blocker built-in, but it doesn't do anything about the in-page ads such as those on this site.

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.

Adaway + Chrome = Still seeing Google Ads w/o WiFI
Chrome Datasaver is off.
The webpage I'm using to reproduce this behaviour is: https://www.20minutos.es
When I'm on WiFi Google Ads won't show, if I go back to data and refresh they appear.
I'm suspicious this is happening because Google Chrome comes as an installed app system level, although Chrome Beta has the same behaviour.
Trying to reproduce this in any other browser won't show the Google ads or any kind of ad in the same page under the same conditions.
Any ideas?
Reboot? I see no and with adaway
Nice thanks

Yeah I always reboot after applying adaway.
Did clean install of latest oxygen OS version (9.0.10) still can see ONLY Google Ads. Other kind of ads are successfully removed.
This only happens in chrome browsers only when using data
Other browsers don't show any kind of ads either in WiFi or data.
Have you tried the above link and didn't see any when using data?
I have 2 other phones and couldn't replicate. The only difference I see is that the other phones don't have chrome installed by default (system level) and OOS has it.

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

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 ?

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.
