What android app do you use to block ads?

[alanbrenton]

I have AdAway but the app prompts me that on data (vs. wifi), it will be less effective.

From one comment,
AdAway + Firefox + AdBlocker = Best mobile browsing experience on earth.

I did not have good experience with AdFree but maybe the problems have been resolved.

Adfree + Firefox + Adblocker is what I use. Not a problem at all.

Thanks. Could you share the link to the Adblocker you use?

[Menace]

Sorry, I meant Adblock Plus

Looks good. The ad on the speedtest app is now gone.

Probably one more needed for airpush ads unless the two combined cover that already.

This looks good too. I do run AirPush Detector periodically.

If your device is rooted, use ad-free or variant to change the host file. This blocks ads across all apps.

+1 for ADFREE

I've used Ad-Free and AdAway. Both do the same thing of adding filters in your host file. What I don't understand is how AdAway bloated to 2.4MB. The previous version was 1.3MB. Ad-Free is <500KB.

edit// Okay, looking more at AdAway, I think it has some extra features that Ad-Free doesn't have, such as logging TCP requests. Handy .

Anyone have startup manager free version? It seems none of the ad blockers are able to remove the ads within this app.

I've used the built in ad blocker in ROM Manager, that works too (though I don't have many apps with ads).

I think for AdAway to work properly you need Busy Box installed no?

I've used AdAway for a year, and haven't seen any ads, via wifi or LTE data.

[alanbrenton]

Hmmm. I don't think I installed busybox when I flashed Jelly Bean using Wugfresh Rootkit. Could this be the problem?

You could try. I did read it somewhere and I forgot...
