This troubles me. If ad blocking can not intercept HTTP calls, why even bother hide them? The point of ad blocking is saving bandwidth and speed up page browsing dramatically. I am going to block all thirdparty javascript with WebRequet extension API.

The whole reason I block ads is to let me focus on the content of a site, not fifty flashing boxes around it. Bandwidth saving and speed increases are pleasant side effects.

All the Android ad blockers work by modifying the hosts file and null routing ad servers. Requires rooting and it blocks ads in everything not just the browser.

  Not really requires rooting if you have a customized DNS server.
