Ask HN: Android browser Ad blocker?

I use AdAway, as far as I know it's never caused any issues for me. The nice tying about it is that as it's /etc/hosts based, it'll block ads in apps too.

If you use Firefox you can just install uBlock Origin. That's what I do.

I publish a browser on play store that blocks ads: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.rsbrowser.browser" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.rsbrowser....</a><p>Its based on Code aurora forum code which is based on chrome code. Basically it is chrome, but with ad blocking. It also happens to be much faster than chrome. I also use firefox, but it doesn&#x27;t seem to render some sites correctly. However it seems to be the only browser that supports plugins.

I wanted something similar for Chrome, as the websites the ads on some websites are so obnoxious that you can&#x27;t do anything on that page without unintentionally clicking the ads.

I recently tried one called Adguard. It runs as a VPN and locally filters ads in the browser and apps.

There&#x27;s also brave, which is supposed to be blocking ads as well. (haven&#x27;t tried it personally though) <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.linkbubble.playstore&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.linkbubble...</a>

Set up pihole on your home network. No ads on any device, no plugin bloat.

i still find Firefox to work much better than other system wide blocker solutions, which can break webpages easily.
