I have tried adfree, abp and adaway but they all only seem to filter on WiFi, not when using mobile data, anyway to fix this?
If you are using Chromes Data Saver feature, you will see ads that aren't blockable due to your web traffic being funneled through Google's proxy .

Hey. I installed Avast! Mobile Security on my rooted Droid 4 and turned on the firewall. What applications do I need to allow internet access to in order for the Talk app to connect? I enabled access for the Talk app itself, but that doesn't seem to be doing it.
When I disable the firewall, the Talk app works again.
Thank you!
I seem to have found the issue. It's a known bug in Avast! On Android 2.3.x and on Samsung devices, not all of the apps are listed in Avast!'s firewall interface, and that prevents you from setting the necessary services to "allowed" in whitelist mode.

Sorry to bother you guys.

No bother at all. Thanks for updating with your solution!
I tried them all; adfree, adaway, adblock + and nothing seems to block ads.
Had the issue with 4.2.2 and now with 4.3. There are ads in the browser and all the apps.
I have root and downloaded hosts file, tried the web server option and nothing works.

Wifi or 3g?
On 3g is network dependent, if your operator is using a proxy then adaway will not work.
Just check with wifi and you are right there are no ads.
I guess theres nothing that can be done with lte
1. tip:
install elixir2 and deactivate for every app activities e.g. with following names:
.ad.
.google.analytics.
.advert.
...
2. tip:
install xposed framework, then download the modules "youtube adaway" (blocks ad on youtube) and "xod" (blocks a lot of google ad in many apps)
3. tip:
use dolphin browser and activate the option called something like "show flash-content only when clicked on", like this no flash-based ad will be shown/loaded during surfing
With these quite simple tips most ad I would ever see on my phone is vanished and won't drain battery etc.
Btw. see my thread about battery life, if you want more info on these tips (because i included the mentioned 3 with more details in my thread)
Thanks dolphin works great and I see no ads.
Also installed the xposed modules since the YT ads bugged me the most, to lazy for the elixir2 though, it's good enough like this.
You have some good advice in your thread, I already do most of it, what I need anyway.
This is an awesome add blocker...

If anyone is having the same issue, try to leave the apn proxy blank.
I'm on bell and it works, I get a connection and there are no ads.
I have an iPhone 8 Plus and now the Huawei P30 Pro and the amount of ads that pop up on apps and Google Chrome Browser are crazy many. I probably get about 2 to 4 times as many ads on the Huawei P30 Pro as I do on my iPhone. For example on the Flipboard app for News practically half the app is ads now using the Huawei P30 Pro. Anyone know how to get rid of most of these ads?
Settings - Private DNS - and add this : dns.adguard.com
That should block most of the ads.

Does this work on Chrome Browser or should it be used with another browser for better results? What about ads that pop up on apps like Flipboard?

Changing your private dns to adguard works phone wide. However you still will have pop ups and stuffs but most of the ads will be blocked. If you wan't to completely block ads while browsing the internet, then Brave browser would be an alternative browser for you. Only issue is, you wont be able to sync your stored google passwords and stuffs.

Does it work better with any particular browser like Chrome or Microsoft Edge Browser?

Im not sure, i only use chrome. Try and let us know.
Use Blokada from fdroid store.
Can tell that dns66 doesn't work so well or i misconfigured something.
But the amount of ads makes me want to return mz p30 pro since there is no root available to use adaway
Hmm blockada seems to work better. Gonna stick with that.
try adguard also there a chance you might like it as well

does the same as changing your phones dns. (dns.adguard.com)
Blockada changes your dns, not more, not less.

Actually not true, Blokada runs a VPN which blocks much more than the DNS, give it a try before judging.

Bullsh*t... its the same principle, Blockada creates a vpn tunnel and blocks advertising on a dns basis.
Yes ... blockada has its own adblock lists, but its remains what it is, a dns blocking adblocker as dns.adguard.com
Here is the info how blockada works:

well you might be right but having adguard or blockada you can add more filters or customize it to your liking, just adding the dns of adguard you wont be able to exclude any website you want
Set up dns on Settings > Wireless & Networks > Private DNS with dns.adguard.com
Hi All,
does anybody has Adguard app ( not private DNS ) sucessfully running with One UI ?
I tried Blokada but could not get that relieable working. Always gets killed or somewhat ...
Could not try Adguard atm as i'm still waiting for my new device.
Maybe someone has tried that and could give his experience here and maybe tell the settings which are needed.
Thanks in advance.
I am successfully using AdGuard on my GM781U. It used to disable itself every once and awhile, but has been very stable the past few months. Not sure if one of the recent updates to AdGuard helped.
I had tried both DNS66 and Blockada with decent results, but it has been awhile, so don't remember why I ended up getting AdGuard.
Also you can combine AdGuard Content Blocker (free, Google Play) with your Yandex or Samsung browser + any adblocker DNS (like dns.comss.one) if you want to minimize delay in loading web pages and not experience adblock app blocking by background services management mechanisms.
Previously, I used only Adguard standalone app and it seemed to me that its work was unstable, often the Internet was simply interrupted or some other apps refused to accept its CA certificate.

I have Blokada working on my S20FE. What's the problem you are experiencing?
I have Blokada running on my S20FE 5g. I am using Nova launcher.
Iam also running Blokada on my S20FE 5G. Works great!
Hello all,
I am trying to use an app (BlockSite) to block me from accessing certain websites. In order for the app to work, I have to give it access through the accessibility settings. However, everytime I restart my phone, the accessibility settings reeset. How can I fix this?
maybe you could try something like Adaway, it works in root and non-root modes. you can add sites to it's blacklist and it won't accept or allow traffic there.
blokada works great. It blocks ads and specific web site.
