Anybody got an idea, if it's possible to get rid of the promoted tweets in the official Twitter app? At my Desktop pc, using Chrome with adblock extension, I don't see any of them.

And apps can read it, ccc. Very bad. I don't love that apps have so much permissions It's because usability is more important than usability.
If you are already on a rooted phone, "Xprivacy" is your solution then.
Check "Xprivacy" out, I use it (combined with "xposed framework" ) since a few weeks and love it.
It sends false info to the apps you select or block the selected app from accessing specific areas on your phone.

Is this app still under development? Hopefully somebody can fix the host activation issue on 4.4. ? Adaway is the only working ad blocking software for Android.

Fuuu I just spent 2 hours rooting my Moto X just so I could use this app, and it doesn't work.

Couldn't get this to work, so I successfully experimented with the preferences, I hope that this could help people experiencing the same problems:
- goto preferences
- target hosts file
- select the second option "data/data/hosts"
- go back to the main screen download updates, it will detect that a simlink is missing, choose to create it and reboot.
- everything works perfectly now.
The reason why for most phones the first default option "system/etc/hosts" doesn't work, is most likely due to permissions (for instance system mounted as r/o etc).
There are alternatives. For example CrossBreeder handles adblocking more efficiently than a simple hosts file blocklist. Though I have a feeling you're using the latest 2.8 version... don't. Try 2.3, 2.5 or 2.7 - they are reported to be working in KK and I can personally vouch for 2.5.Fuuu I just spent 2 hours rooting my Moto X just so I could use this app, and it doesn't work.
Ok, so how do we block these ads? My desktop can easily block them, but if I use the same lists on adaway, they aren't blocked.

It's Chrome's bandwidth optimisation setting that's bypassing the regular system. Turn it off and ads will be blocked normally. HTH!

That feature is only in Chrome beta, but that screenshot was from regular Chrome, so that's not where they are coming from. They take up more space than the search results and they are placed both at the top and bottom of the search results.

Most probably an android problem. Maybe open an issue report on GitHub.I use Adaway non-rooted via VPN on a xiaomi redmi note 13 pro+. It works fine, except that it does not automatically start after a reboot. Any ideas why not?
I did:
Ever since I set the Always-on VPN, I get a message after reboot (before providing the unlock code for the first time): "Disconnected from always-on VPN — Change network or VPN settings".
- Selected "Background autostart"
- Set Battery saver to "No restrictions"
- Set Always-on VPN in preferences
- Set Block connections without VPN" in preferences
Adaway is supposed to start automatically after a reboot, right?
Thanks for helping!
It's always blatently (NEVER automatically )asks me on a data clear, just tried it and gotI have been using Adaway, both rooted and non root versions, for several years. My phone broke last week, and while I wait for a replacement I am using a borrowed stock Oneplus 9. It is running Android 14, with no other VPN apps. When I install Adaway, it installs the root version, so I get a systemless host error. It used to install the correct version automatically, is there any way to force it to install the non root version?
GitLab, like GitHub do not set LastModified HTTP header so update status is not supported... yet!Is anyone using a hosts list hosted on Gitlab? It keeps showing "Unknown update status".
It works well here. I failed to reproduce as I change the HTTP client library and how I use it.Hmm, not working for me for this URL, v4.1.0 shows something like not updated in -360 days (some large negative value). Can you please see if you can reproduce?

Not really. You could choose a lot of different mode.All the F-Droid apps I know of have manual push updates to the store.
Isn't automatic build basically for nightlies?
Thank you so much! :highfive:I exist still... do you know what i have to do to transfer ownership? if i edit project it doesn't let me change the primary author so i assume i have to PM some higher up to make this happen?
Thank you too!
