What do you guys use as ad blockers on mobile? I use chrome on an android and it seems that I would need to switch to FF in order to have adblocking?
(Which I might, as there are ads on Chrome that even make the cellphone vibrate and redirect to the store, amongst other things)
- Kenji 11y agoYou can use a hosts file that redirects all the domains that serve garbage to 127.0.0.1. If you have rooted your phone, at least. There are plenty of good lists available in forums. Like this, you remove ads system-wide, even in apps.
- JeremyNT 11y agoI use and recommend Firefox with uBlock Origin. Firefox still has a few rough edges on Android, and some small number of sites exhibit pathological performance characteristics in Mobile FF, but it's certainly good enough to be your primary solution. I keep Chrome around for when sites have problems with Mobile FF, but I find myself reaching for it less and less over time.
- schlipity 11y agoTake a look at Netguard on Github. It emulates the hostfile via local loopback vpn and is able to fully adblock your android device without rooting it. It's also available on the playstore, but that functionality is disabled. Their releases: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases To enable adblocking: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/blob/master/ADBLOCKING.md
