Adblock For Android
Theodora Glime
Block intrusive and malicious advertisements with this FREE Android browser with adblock capabilities. Support fair content creators by allowing non-intrusive Acceptable Ads (on by default, configurable).
Some websites load malicious advertisements into their pages, causing your device to potentially become infected. In some cases, a website visitor does not even have to click on an ad in order to be infiltrated (learn more). Adblock Browser helps prevent this by blocking potentially harmful ads.
This powerful ad blocker for Android blocks intrusive ads and tracking scripts before they even load on a web page. That way you don't download ads when you're using mobile data, which could also mean additional costs for mobile traffic.
Round 2 weeks I'm using adblock. Everything works well (imo). But I face a problems with push notifications (e.g Signal, Telegram, WhatApp - get no notofication) and SIP-Accounts (error on registration) I've never had before. Is it possible that the list form adblock could cause this problems?
It would be a good start if you would tell us which adblock lists are active at all in your setup!? Furthermore many (all?) google push services which are using the Reports API have to register their notification channels with googleapis.com ... make sure that at least services.googleapis.com is not blocked, or free the TLD for testing.
I'm using Private Internet Access's VPN via its App and now I'd also like to additionally use Adblock Plus.
The problem however is that I apparently can only use either VPN or Adblock Plus - but not both in combination.
Is it possible to use both by changing some setting in either of the Apps or of my phone ?
It says it couldn't change the proxy settings of my phone so I should do it manually. But as all traffic is routed through the VPN changing the proxy-name to "localhost" and the proxy-port to "2020" didn't help. It keeps on waiting for traffic on Port 2020. I guess it comes down to routing the VPN traffic through the proxy. But maybe there's also another solution to it (like another Adblock App that works differently for example).
The Error Message (roughly translated):
"Seemingly no traffic was routed through adblock plus. Adblock Plus couldn't change the proxy settings of your device. Please configure them manually."
None of those are "to be found" at Google Play for obvious reasons (though there might be some which Google either didn't recognize yet, or which have the corresponding activity hidden from the UI itself by hiding it, or which are simply ignored as "not fit for international use").
I could name some of the latter two categories, e.g. LBE Security Master (which is only available in a Chinese version on Play (see XDA for a localized English version)). There are also several apps working with the hosts solution, which you can find on e.g. F-Droid or Aptoide (see my app-list on Ad-Blockers for examples).
If you have a non-rooted phone you can use a VPN and then use the browser Firefox for Android and install an adblock AddOn to it (like UBlock Origin). Or simply use the Firefox Klar browser which blocks ads and tracking by default.
I use Netguard (xda-developers) for both a firewall (prevent apps from general network access) and as an ad-blocker.
For the latter, you must use a non-Google-Play-download-version: Netguard (github) (AFAIK Google does not want adblockers in Play Store)
(You can download a hosts-file that blocks ads in the Netguard settings.)
