I update the hosts file, reboot, and ads still show up on all the pages I visit. I'm using Chrome Beta.

AdAway isn't blocking ads
- Thread starter techmatlock
- Start date
Why not contact the dev of AdAway instead?

No, but that seems incredibly time-consuming to do that for each individual website.

Yeah, I'm not sure why my eyes missed the developers email on adaway's home page. I'll report the issue.
I'm just talking about website ads.

yes but it is still ads in a mobile app. That is why Google removed ad blockers from the site.
The dev apparently doesn't provide support or takes a long time to respond. How do I go about finding a quicker solution to using AdAway?
You may have figured this out ages ago, but for anyone who finds this by searching like I did, check to see if you have the Bandwidth Management option checked or not, if you do it sends the requests through google so there is no way for adaway to work. Leave it unchecked and it should be fine.
I have a Nexus 7 tablet and Adaway is not working for me as well -.-
The hosts-file is filled with the entries made by Adaway, even after a reboot, but somehow my system just ignores it?
Forgot to check how old this thread is, but the problem and fix is right here thanks to steevin. In Chrome beta disable the settings in bandwidth management. You can keep preload pages, but not the setting below that loads pages through Google. Which bypasses where the ads come from. You can either uncheck the setting, or block Google. The choice is obvious.
LineageOS File Manager is garbage
Great ROM so far but the LineageOS File Manager v3.0.0 is garbage. It displays nothing on my tablet.
