Adblocking not working on web browsers

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.

Ad blocking doesn't work since 4.4.2 update (non OTA)

Didn't find anything search wise about this....but since updating manually, adaway doesn't work. It would always be 3/4 done and never reboot my phone. I'm sure it's because the last update for adaway was like Feb 2014. Chrome shows ads, which is frustrating to me because ads affect webpages loading and finishing!
Tried adblock plus, but that too isn't stopping Chrome from showing ads (and the notification bar was annoying, but I know how to turn it off...)
Any suggestions? Right now I'm camped in Firefox Beta until I can get a suitable way of blocking ads...

Do you have reduce data usage on in chrome under bandwidth settings? That feature sends all traffic through Google's servers and would bypass any ad block software you used. Adaway works fine for me on 4.4 with chrome.

tried using naked browser on http://www.readmanga.today/ but still got page redirected/app redirected.
i'll stick to using abp browser... no problems with that browser... no ads, no page redirections

Ghostery is an efficient browser, works well with blocking ads and tracking.

tnx ill try that one too

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.

Built in browser still useless.it does not block ads...

Ad Blocking (without root) -- particularly Twitch.tv

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.

Just tested it and it blocks ad only while browsing, not in apps, correct? If that's the case, Blokada is e better option for me.

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?

No, here is the app in question below. I doubt it's even uploaded in the play store just like Blokada.

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.

Tried it but I can't set it up to block ads in apps. Works fine only with the browser.

Web pages doesn't load on Oneplus 5

Greetings,
So web pages doesn't load on certain apps like Google chrome stable, DuckDuckGo browser, Gmail (the loading circle keeps on spinning forever), and Inbox. The blue circle keeps spinning forever. Even the video ads don't load.
Though internet works just fine on apps like Youtube, Reddit, Firefox (Stable and Nightly), Chrome Dev, etc.
I have a rooted Oneplus 5 and this issue started after upgrading to Pie Open beta 22 yesterday.
I have tried:
Factory reset
Dirty Flashing
Reinstalling
Changing Wifi's
Mobile Data
Clearing app caches, cookies, and storage data
Please help me. Thank you.
Edit: Play store works fine for me.
Edit2: Completely uninstalling chrome from system and reinstalling as a system app works for chrome. But, this still doesn't work for Inbox, Gmail, and DuckDuckGo.
Edit3: Okay chrome stopped working again. Making it a system app disable webview app and makes Chrome the default app for implementation. So, it has stopped working again.
Edit 3: Okay either shell hide or magisk prop config modules from magisk were the problem. Removing them fixed it. Thank you everyone for your time.

Try Stable OOS
It happened to me too, try flashing previous ROM and it should work fine. But problem with Google Play Store Continues

But Play Store and Photos works fine for me. But searches from assistant or through Google Now don't work.

Weird, web pages are working fine for me. I'm using ob22, rooted and I deleted the compatibility zip.
YouTube isn't working for me though. Trying to find a fix. I can still go to YouTube.com though, just the app is broken

Have you updated your Android system web view app? Most apps are using this to load their content and be more light weight.

Go into Developer options and look for the Webview setting. Make sure something is selected. (As you have Chrome installed, select that).

I updated my WebView app. Still no luck. Tried completely uninstalling the app from system and reinstalling it. Didn't work.
Tried changing the WebView implementation from Webview to Chrome from developer options. Still nothing.

The Webview app was selected before, I tried changing it to chrome but still the same. Somehow uninstalling chrome completely from system and reinstalling works. But that still doesn't work for Gmail, Inbox, and DuckDuckGo. I tried all possoble combinations with Webview, Chrome, and Chrome Dev.
Edit: Okay changing chrome to system app brings back the problem.
