I feel this is just better than adaway coz 1 doesnt need to update it manually if he/she wouldnt like to have a running notification always.
AdAway modifies the hosts file, it doesn't really need to be updated and it doesn't have any notification or background process running. Other non-root solutions like Ad Guard work that way, but AdAway doesn't.
AdAway is still the superior option, though Disconnect Pro is very close. The main difference I find is that when using AdAway, pages seem to load the blank ad space earlier, so if you are scrolling down a page while it is still loading or trying to hit a link, the page doesn't jump around. With Disconnect Pro, the empty ad space pops in towards the end of the page loading, much like the way it does with no ad blocker at all, so loading pages jump around a lot. Trying to tap on links too early often results in you tapping something else entirely as things jump around.
I noticed this difference right away after switching to Disconnect Pro from AdAway. I'm a power browser; I know what I am looking for, I scan quickly, and I don't like waiting for pages to fully load before I tap on links when I know where I am headed next. With Disconnect Pro, I have to slow down a bit and that gets frustrating at times. It is especially noticeable on forums.
That said, Disconnect Pro is still
good enough. Solid ad blocking without a VPN or background process is my primary reason for rooting, and now I can get nearly the same quality of ad blocking without root. This is a big win.
