I had to remove AdBlock Plus on my (not rooted) N920C because most of the time the Internet navigation was like stopping by itself.Change the proxy server to server in adplock plus

I can't root it as I am going to sell the device before the European version comes out.
If you pay for the premium subscription (I did, it's 9.99), Adguard blocks in-app ads.

It doesn't. It's the way it works: Adguard creates a VPN so all your traffic passes there and so the Android system manager identifies it as using your battery when it's actually not, for example Chrome, etc. It's the app that's actually using your device connection. The devs of the Adguard app have a technical explanation for it if you visit their site.

Yup. Adaway's better than Adblock plus. Especially since ABP take money from some companies to let their ads through.

Select on the APN/Wifi and add proxy 123.1.1.1:8080 thats all to block the ads

What do you think is the best option for non rooted phone then?
Adguard. It works great. For best results, pay for the premium service so it blocks ads even in apps.
oh yeah, now i can confirm it: i am testing the premium features and i am def going to buy it. no weird battery drain either.
Adguard is great, but the running vpn notification is annoying. How to disable it?

I don't think you can do that natively. It might be possible via an xposed module but you need to be rooted.

On my note 5 I used to disable what they define "notification icon" in the app settings but found that the os tends often to quit adguard.
best for non rooted is adguard. outside play store. with annual subscription but it does block ads from browsers and apps.
All Internet data you really using, it counts under adguard, it's like a gate and that's why u see a huge data usage under this app.
Yes. That's correct. Plus it only removes the adguard notification itself, not the VPN notification which I believe is an Android System notification.
Having said that, I am on the latest adguard beta and switched off the main notification (i.e. the AS VPN notification is still present but the filtering content notification is off).
It's been around 20 hours since I did it and adguard hasn't been quit by Android yet.
