Block ads for good from your Android device with Adblock Plus.

Let’s talk about ads.

Yes, yes, advertising powers the modern web and without ads a lot of websites simply wouldn’t exist. We know they pay the hosting bills, pay the writers, they help keep a lot of videos, articles, cartoons and other content free and we can definitely appreciate that.

So while most of us don’t mind seeing ads, most of us don’t want our devices infected with annoying malware that tries to force us to mine for bitcoins for some maniacal hacker in Estonia, either. That’s where Adblock Plus comes in.

Adblock Plus gives you better control over what ads you have to deal with while browsing. Want to support your favorite trusted websites and don’t mind seeing some annoying ads? You can disable Adblock on that page. Browsing lots of random sites that serve up all kinds of horrible ad-related nastiness? Adblock will keep on blocking those ads and keeping you safe.

The best thing about Adblock Plus is that it doesn’t require your device to have full SU (superuser privileges, also known as “root”) to work. You just download the APK file to your device, install it and you’re good to go! It’s very important to keep in mind that Adblock won’t be able to block every ad, just most of them.

Also keep in mind that this app is always running in the background while you browse so it’s going to suck up a lot of power. If you’re working with an older device or one with limited battery life, you might find yourself recharging more often after you install Adblock Plus. This isn't a problem for most users, but it is something to look out for.

Aside from that though, this is one of the best adblockers for Android out there. You won’t need a rooted device to run it, it only takes one step to get it set up and there are no extra configuration options you have to work with to get it working. We think that alone makes it worth checking out, so grab it today and see what it can do for you!

If you have grown tired of all those annoying pop up ads that appear online everywhere you go, you will want to get the Adblock Plus app. This is made specifically for Android, and the developers have created a streamlined program that makes it is easy to block unwanted ads from appearing on your smartphone.

With Adblock Plus, you can use your phone and its latest apps without having to stop every so often to wait for a promotional message to disappear from your screen. There is nothing for you to do other than download and install the app. It works in the background.

AdBlock Plus is an ad-blocking app designed for Android and iOS devices. Users with the app installed won't see ads displayed on their smartphones. Unlike its PC counterpart, the mobile version requires a few extra steps to work properly. It must be sideloaded to the device and running on a Wi-Fi connection with proxy settings.

For that reason, some users may find the installation process a hassle. The actual app, however, works exactly as intended. Ads won't display on most pages, which makes browsing the Web and using apps more convenient. Likewise, resources will load more quickly when ads are disabled on a given smartphone.
