Are you saying that they sent all your data to their backend servers and stripped ads there?
Or is it just that they were doing it client side, but your phone company erroneously double counted data even though it wasn't sent twice over the wireless?
- mcescalante 11y agoThat the data was being erroneously calculated/charged. I had to do some research, but Verizon (my carrier) and a bunch of other carriers actually appear to bill for "app usage data," which is still pretty unclear to me. It just magically shows up on your bill, even though it's not real used data. If you want to read of the numerous reports of the same issue, Google "adblock plus data usage android" and click on any of the forum discussions about it.
