YES Ad Away is a MUCH better Ad blocker than adfree I USED to run adfree but they had problems one time and then I found Ad Away and I haven't looked back
Wish I could find an app like Ad Away for windows

Same. :thumbup:
You can use the Adblock Plus addon in Firefox on Windows and other OS's.

Thanks for trolling this thread, used to be fun & interesting for all, without prejudice...... Ppl have choices, you know, Adfree or Adaway... I used both and found this better at fine-tuning in blocking ads...
Edited to remove offending phrase.

I don't think anyone was trolling. Merely, stating opinions and trying to be helpful.

Posting experience with an app and making Ppl AWARE of those choices does not a troll make.
And speaking of which; have you looked in the mirror lately

Spoiled by ad free browsing on my normal desktop computer it became increasingly annoying seeing all the ads on my phone. However it's really easy to make them disappear, although you most likely will need root on the phone.
Download the hosts.txt file from http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt, you may need to run dos2unix over the file to remote \r characters, rename the file hosts and copy it to /system/etc on your phone and say goodbye to most ads.
You may find the list to be imperfect, for example some feedburner URLs are "blocked" as a result which can screw with RSS feeds, although it's annoying giving too much info to Google but like everything else in life some things are a trade off.
If you want to root your phone, try this article.7
I've been dreading this day since my hdd was wiped a while back, I've uploaded a new version using a new signing key 0.8.45, but you'll need to remove the current version first.6
I was uploading to slideme.org until I had issues with old signing keys being lost.
For people wanting the current version I uploaded the apk file to the website: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/adfree.apk5new Ad blocker
Hi folks,
I have released my own hosts-based ad blocker named AdAway, it can be found on the market with the following features:
- AdAway is Open Source
- AdAway lets you select your own sources of hosts files
- You can add exceptions to your Whitelist if some apps are not working with ads disabled
- You can define extra hostnames in your own Blacklist
Market: market.android.com/details?id=org.adaway
Website: code.google.com/p/ad-away
Source: gitorious.org/adaway
I would like to hear suggestions and ideas for possible future releases. Please look into the Issue tracker before and add your suggestions there: code.google.com/p/ad-away/issues/list5Here, a quick edit of the host file to fix the Words with Friends and Medscape. Just copy and paste it into "/system/etc" and overwrite the host file or wherever your host file is located.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?mda7sx9eovfkh03
If you wanna do this yourself, use a text editor like Notepad++ and just remove any references to server that's being overlayed in Words With Friends and any references to Medscape.
