So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.

Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?

Thanks!

If you're rooted XAD works well

The idea is nice enough, but I really like the hosts file solution as it blocks all ads system-wide regardsless of app.
Might return to it if I can't find an alternative, thanks.

Adblock Plus does the work just fine for me.

Yes. And yes. It's a complete ad block as complete as it gets. It's got a perk in that it doesn't even need root! (Although it DOES work better with root)
It has options to allow non - intrusive ads too. Which is actually helpful that it blocks all ads that are annoying and let's correctly used ads stay so that good developers get their money too :)

What kind of hosts file do you mean? Can you link to the thread or site?

    CrashROM has a host enabled adblock app, can't remember off the top of my head which it is, but it works well also.
