Ads are everywhere, from television, newspapers, magazines to billboards, radio and additionally on your Android apps. At the same time as Ads in different things are generally suitable and may’t be unnoticed however advertisements in an app, game or website are specifically distracting and now and again disturbing too (now not all advertisements are demanding, but a few advertisements in reality are). Happily like on computer, you could block Ads in your Android smartphone using the techniques which i have described under.

Here is how to block ads on your Android smartphone:

1.Block Ads using Adblock Plus App

In this technique, we’ve got used the Adblock Plus app, made by using the identical trusty fellows who made the popular Adblock Plus add-on for browsers. Adblock Plus works using opposite proxy, because of this, it requests the internet servers on behalf of the consumer (your cellphone) and then passes on the content material as if server itself. if you didn’t get it or want greater information, please refer this Wiki link. This app blocks commercials, machine huge this is, in apps, browser, video games and many others. One factor to notice is that you’ll require to preserve the app walking within the history. If you close it the advert-gates will open and advertisements will pop up once more. Comply with the steps shown underneath to install and set it up:

• As Adblock Plus is not available on Play Store, you need to download the apk file from here. Before you install it, go to Settings > Security > Enable Unknown sources. If you want you can disable (recommended) Unknown sources after installation.

• Open the app, and enable the Filtering option at the top. Without this option enabled, Adblock will not block ads. For most phones Adblock will automatically set-up proxies and do the needed in the background, without requiring user intervention. But for some reasons, if you cant enable filtering, follow this guide to do it manually.

• After enabling Filtering, you are good to go, but if you want to tweak you can always select different subscription from the list.

Also, there is an Acceptable Ads options. Allowing this some non-intrusive ads to displayed. You can enable or disable it based on your preference. I myself prefer to keep it ON as many apps and websites rely on ads revenue.

If you don’t like the Adblock icon showing in Notifications you can make it go by clicking on Hide icon.

Do remember Adblocks needs to be running in background for ads to get blocked.

2.Block Ads in browsers on Android (For Firefox)

If you are averse to software program alteration or don’t want an app running in the background, your alternatives are pretty constrained. This method will most effective block ads in the Firefox app and not machine huge. So, if you are the use of Chrome, Opera or another browser app you may need to switch to Firefox.

• First of all install Firefox if you don’t have it on your Android device. Open it and go to Settings > Tools > Add-ons. Tap on Browse all Firefox Add-ons. Search for Adblock Plus and install.

Make sure it has red “ABP” icon

• Upon successful installation, Adblock Plus will start blocking ads automatically. If you want to changes filters or explore more options, go to Tools > Add-ons >Adblock Plus. The options here are same as described in Method 1.

While this method works as good as the desktop Firefox add-on, it only works inside Firefox for Android.
