With the recent release of Apple’s mobile OS, iOS 13, several developers have already taken to the new OS and released Adblock apps that provide a seamless browsing experience on the iPhone and iPad.
You’ve heard about adblocking apps for mobile devices. But have you considered using them on your Android device?
If you have, you might have already discovered that adblocking apps can help you reduce the ads you see while browsing the web and make your browsing experience more enjoyable.
We’ll look at the best adblock apps for Android devices, including how they work and how you can use them to enjoy a seamless browsing experience on your Android device.
There’s no denying that when it comes to browsing, the mobile web is a very different experience than what we have on desktop computers. With the advent of more advanced mobile browsers and their adblocking features, webpages are designed to fit into smaller screens, making reading and navigating through the pages more difficult.
Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus is the most popular adblocking app for Android. It is the only free ad-blocking app for Android tested by independent third-party labs, which means it is highly unlikely to contain malware.
Adblock Plus blocks all advertisements, trackers, and third-party web elements. It works by hiding or removing banners and buttons from websites so that they don’t interfere with your web browsing. To block or remove ads, tap the Adblock Plus icon at the bottom of your browser and select which elements to block. The settings menu will appear.
You can also control which sites are blocked on a per-site basis. By default, ads are allowed on all sites. When installing Adblock Plus, it asks if you’d like to let certain domains. This is a good idea, as many advertisers use the same tracking methods across all their sites.
You can also block specific types of ads by tapping on the gear icon. You can set the adblock status on Android in your Settings -> General -> Network. You should set this to ‘Never Allow’ to prevent ad-related issues such as the slow loading of web pages.
AdGuard
AdGuard is a popular ad-blocking app for both iOS and Android. AdGuard works by identifying and blocking advertisements, tracking, and third-party cookies. It also allows you to block popups, notifications, and other annoying content.
It’s free, easy to install, and safe to use. You can download it from the Google Play Store or the App Store and get it on Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, and Firefox.
AdGuard offers a free version and a premium version. The premium version gives you more features, such as the ability to remove all trackers, and you can save up to five different lists of websites.
AppBrain Ad Detector
AppBrain Ad Detector is a free app available on the Google Play Store. With it, you can easily block ads from your favorite apps.
You can install this app on your mobile device. When you open an app, you’ll see a small button at the top right-hand corner of the screen. Tap on that, and you’ll see a list of options.
Click on “Ads,” and a menu with several settings for blocking ads on an app will pop up.
The default setting is to block all ads on the app completely. If you find an ad you’d like to keep, tap on the app name and click on the three dots. This will open the menu again. Click on “Settings,” and you’ll see an option to turn off ads for that specific app. If you’re worried about privacy, you can also use the app to block ads for individual websites.
StopAd
StopAd is one of the most popular adblock apps for Android devices, and it’s been around for over six years. It has a simple design but offers excellent performance with minimal system impact.
StopAd blocks ads and trackers, prevents malware from being installed, and improves browsing speeds by reducing the number of ads and content you see on the web. It’s free, so if you want to cut down on annoying ads and improve your browsing experience, try StopAd.
TrustGo Ad Detector
Adblock apps are nothing new. They’re quite common. But what if we told you that plenty of apps could detect adblock apps and block them from running on your device?
We’re talking about TrustGo Ad Detector. This app is a simple way to keep your device safe from harmful ads.
TrustGo Ad Detector works by looking for apps using a special APK file. The APK file allows Android to run apps on your phone and is the same as the.exe file on Windows.
When TrustGo Ad Detector detects an APK, it shows you the app’s details, such as the developer name and version number.
If you don’t want to install the app, click “Not Now” or “Not Later” to dismiss it.
You can download TrustGo Ad Detector for free at the Play Store.
