Unfortunately, decent adblock on Android requires root, which most can't have, and most of those who can would still need to unlock the bootloader, flash recovery, flash supersu, install fdroid, and install adblock. That leaves us with a very small subset of users that can use adblock.
This problem is exasperated by the fact that phones/tablets are particularly well-suited to, and popular with, young children. Children like to carry things around.
- chatmasta 9y agoYou can setup a DNS proxy with the android sdk (no root), I thought.
- anonymousab 9y agouBlock Origin seems to work fine on Android Firefox.
- thomastjeffery 9y agoI forgot about that. You can, in fact, use firefox with adblock on android, so long as adblock is distributed with the app itself. Unfortunately though, it does not work globally.
- bigbugbag 9y agoI have no idea what you are talking about. I have installed a ublock origins on a few dozens of android devices of all kind and it always works like a charm.
