Which of these do you prefer? I used fdroid but haven't installed a system ad blocker. I just use firefox focus which does a good job of preventing trackers and most ads but it's not perfect.
- ReverseCold 8y agoOn Samsung phones you can get "Disconnect" or "SABS" or "Adhell" to remove ads systemwide (based on Samsung's Knox security thing)
- craftyguy 8y agoI'm not sure I'd trust Samsung to act in your best interest.
- telchar 8y agoI wouldn't. They forced ads into my tv after I purchased it.
- paulie_a 8y agoPlus Samsung doesn't support is products. Last year I got a critical security update labeled july.. In December. And they have a bunch of garbage custom apps. Great hardware, poor service
- ReverseCold 8y agoand you can't even install a custom ROM to fix the software issues or it will cap your battery charge at 80%, among other annoyances
- pwg 8y agoI'm actually running Blokada, but both perform the same function. Blokada does track how many ads it blocks and gives you a count (and notifications if you wish to be so notified [configurable]). Both are free (as in the GNU 'freedom' definition as well as the 'beer' definition) so you could try both and see which you prefer.
- craftyguy 8y agoI've used DNS66, but I think I will give Blokada a shot. I really wish either one would offer the option of using DNSCrypt!
- abawany 8y agoI have run AdAway for years. It works great and has great features such as auto-update of sites. It also lets you whitelist or blacklist additional domains locally.
