OnePlus 5 root - block pop up ads - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

Is it possible to pop up ads such as those 15 second videos in apps such as show box and terrarium? These are very annoying, I don't mind the ads in other apps which you can cross out.
I have adaway but that doesn't work on these ads. Any other suggestions?

Try Unified Hosts Adblock from Magisk. You have to enable Systemless Hosts for this.

As a general note: please support your developers. Pay for apps; a few $$$ won't kill you. But if there is no paid option and you are concerned about malvertising and the general insecurity and annoyance of mobile / app advertising in general, then by all means, block away.

How do you block ads in Chrome?

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.

Adblock for youtube?

I use adblock by BigTinCan, but honestly don't remember if it handles YouTube ads...
Don't use addblock or Aaddway the mess things up. Hulu always stopped and could never load the adds. Therefore I could never finish a show. I thought it was the np or the app for the longest time until I uninsulated my add blocker
Yeah I tried with ad away and just took forever before ad timed out. I have ads blocked with xposed on tablet and phone. Wasn't sure if there was an alternative

Add hulu to your whitelist on adaway to resolve that.
There is a working solution now. You'll need to install the correct version of Xposed on your Nexus Player and then install YouTube AdAway v2.6.1 to block YouTube video ads on this device.

Adguard

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.

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.

Looking for Popup Blocker for Browser.

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

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
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 ?

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

Ad blocking on OOS 12

Before updating, I was using the ADAWAY application to block ads. It worked fine. The root system. On Android 12, the application is supposed to work, but there are a lot of ads in the Chrome browser. Anyone have similar experiences? OOS 12 EU.

Hello and good morning, @ablak44
I know that this question has already frequently been discussed in the AdAway thread. I suggest to search that thread for Google Chrome.

I'm actually using a DNS based solution to block ads.
NextDNS
The new firewall for the modern Internet
nextdns.io
Same concept as AdAway, just fully remote. You set that as your private DNS in phone settings, job done.
Their free tier should be fine for normal usage.
EDIT: just remembered also AdAway has a similar feature, no need to install the app. You just need to set dns.adguard.com as your private DNS. But NextDNS.io offers better configurability via their web.
