How-To Adblock Without Rooting (mobile data adblock working)

[tbmoc96]

love adblock plus on PC for a very long time and now it's available and works well on android. Tks for ur helpful knowledge!

I've been rooted from day one (many years) using Adaway until this damn VZW S6 edge. It's unrootable at the moment.

Just installed Adguard, and it works perfectly. Blocking ads in browsers and also apps. It has a 30-day fully functional trial (make sure you walk through the tutorial -- the trial is at the end, and I couldn't find any way to access and activate it if I skipped the tutorial), so you can give it a test drive before forking over US ten bucks for a year license.

When my trial ends, if it's performed as it has so far, I'll be paying.

Well I don't want to root my device. I think the best option is to leave Chrome and go for Firefox with adblock plus add-on..

I keep loosing wifi connection, specially when using browser

Thanks, adblock plus works on the Galaxy Tab S - SM-T700, but occasionally you lose sound in the YouTube app.

Tried with my HTC One M8 Android 6 with Telekom (Germany) APN. Chrome Browser

Not working ):

Any ideas?

This is pretty good tutorial altough I don't recommend this method. It works but Adblock is known to be a heavy battery and data hog. I recommend using NoChromo, which is a Chrome with built in Adblocker. Give it a try, it's very efficient in terms of battery life and it works a lot faster than standard Chrome.

Maybe (and just maybe) if you wait a little more there will be some ad blocking support in Chrome. Its just a hunch, but Safari on iOS can block ads for a while now, so maybe Chrome will take the fight to them. I also hope it will pay to be lazy, since I also have a device I don't intend to root only for ad blocking support in Chrome.
(I know that there is an AdBlock app, but that has limitations without root, and Firefox has plugin support, but I need it in Chrome )

i tried both adguard and adblock plus simultaneously as i installed both at the same time but it did not block out ads in apps. works well for browser though.....

had followed adblock plus to change settings in wifi but not mobile as not too sure how to go about changing APN.....
so tested it while on wifi.....

really new to this as this is first time trying as the ads is really getting atrocious.....
kept using mobile data non-stop even when I am constantly on wifi....

using s4 shv-e330s and note 2 shv-e250s
if can work will try on s4 shv-e300L and Note 2 shv-e250L
all not rooted.

Did your phone ring about the same time? If so, you probably have a phone in the house that doesn't have a DSL filter installed (or it's installed incorrectly).

Does anyone know if this will break Music Freedom on Tmobile? (Music not counting toward data usage)

 

[bubbasqueeze]

i am using habit browser, u can import and use the easly list and all the others filters aswell. As alternative i have adguard wich works wonder too with even a built in firewall.

Adguard premium is the best but the permanent notification is annoying

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

tried both adblockplus and adguard but they dont remove ads in apps and pop up ads from apps. is there another one that does this?
thanks

I would also like to know what stops ads in apps and pop ups.

That's more in the realm of Adaway and other root required adblockers.

You can set up an ad filtering proxy and set your system proxy to that, dd-wrt(router firmware) for example has this feature.

On your wifi router or on your mobile device?
