Ad blocking app that works with Q ?

[StrangerWeather]

For years I used AdClear, which did the job perfectly; all ads were removed in-browser and in-apps. I'm on android Q Beta, and it doesn't block ads anymore. I tried Adguard, but that doesn't block ads on Q either. I am not rooted. Have you got any suggestions for an ad blocking app that works with Q, no root? Not just browser but apps as well? Thanks!

adguard.com works fine for me, take a user filter from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/magisk-unified-hosts-adblocker-t3559019

I would try the DNS version of AdGuard rather than the app.

So is it just me who has no luck with AdGuard on Android Q Beta? I've had it for a few days and I get "blocked ads: 0".

DNS666 is working just fine for me. But I also have chrome beta and had to disable async DNS in chrome://flags to get the ads blocked.

Blokada works.

What version of AdGuard are you using? Version 3 beta should work. If not you can ask in their forums for help.

For browser use brave browser, I am also on Q beta and that is what I am using, it works great. As far as in app ads I don't have that problem as I have bought all my apps.

Hi, just come across this app bit it doesn't seem to block what look like Google ads on XDA and The Guardian (for example)

I've tried various configs without joy.

I'm on beta 3 btw

Anyone got any tips for how I can get this sorted please?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I wasn't satisfied with Blokada in the end. I am now using Adlock which I found on XDA labs, and I find it excellent. There is a trial period after which it is not free anymore, but not very expensive either. May be it can help? Also, for XDA, if you use the full version of XDA Labs (which is free), there are no ads.

Thanks for the tip about Adlock, I'll have a look at that.

It works with beta 3 and blocks everything does it?

Looks like Alock is blocking the ads here and on The Guardian that the other ad-blockers weren't.

I'll see how I get in with it over the next couple of weeks and will buy it if it works well.

Thanks again for the suggestion...
