This question was undoubtedly the most relevant in the comments to the first post: almost everyone knows what to do in a browser on a PC, but how to effectively block ads on a smartphone or tablet?
Consider several options for solving this problem.
1. Browser with ad blocker
Many mobile browsers have a built-in ad blocker.
Of course, it will not save you from advertising in applications, but browsing the web will become more comfortable ... At least, the developers assure us of this.
How effective a particular built-in blocker is in fact can be tested in practice.
As examples, I’ll give
Adblock Browser
from the developers of ABP and
UC Browser
with its own blocker.
By the way, you can not rely on the built-in blocker, but install
Firefox
and put
uBlock there
with your usual settings.
True, such a bundle will be quite heavy and not suitable for budget devices.
Pros:
+ Install from Google Play
+ No root required
+ No need for additional software
Minuses:
- Do not block ads in applications
- Blocking quality and / or performance is poor
2. Adblock Plus for Android
I must say right away that I personally do not recommend this option.
Apparently, the developer himself does not recommend it, offering to install Adblock Browser instead.
But the application is too well known to say anything about it.
Root rights are not required for operation, but using the application without them is extremely inconvenient: you must manually configure proxies for each new connection.
Not that it is very difficult, but boring quickly.
However, there are no such problems with the root, and the application starts filtering traffic immediately.
Vous ne trouverez pas à redire sur la qualité du filtrage - il est proposé d'utiliser EasyList + un abonnement régional (dans notre cas RU AdList, vous pouvez en choisir un autre).
Mais les performances laissent à désirer : l'application mange moins de cent Mo de RAM et se bloque périodiquement même avec mes deux gigaoctets.
Pros:
+ Blocage de haute qualité dans toutes les applications
Minus:
- Non disponible sur Google Play
- Le fonctionnement sans root est peu pratique
- Lenteur des performances
3. AdAway
Peut-être l'une des façons les plus anciennes, les plus simples et les plus éprouvées de bloquer les publicités est d'utiliser le fichier hosts.
C'est exactement ce que fait cette application : télécharger les listes de serveurs publicitaires, les combiner et les écrire dans le fichier hosts du système.
Comme vous l'avez peut-être deviné, root est nécessaire pour cela.
Comme la précédente, cette application n'est pas disponible sur Google Play, mais elle est activement soutenue par la w3bsit3 dns Resources and Information. community and developers.
Since the application only makes up hosts, and advertising is blocked, in fact, by the system itself, it practically does not load the smartphone, does not consume a lot of memory and charge.
And it also has many settings and detailed help in Russian.
In general, it’s good for everyone, here’s just a filtering algorithm ... Using hosts you can block only ads located on third-party servers.
But many sites place their ads on their own server, so blocking it will not work (or access to the site will be blocked entirely).
Therefore, AdAway copes with blocking ads in applications, but a lot of banners will be missed in the browser.
Pros:
+ High quality app locks
+ Flexible configuration options and detailed help
+ Great performance
Minuses:
- Not available on Google Play
- root is required for the application to work
- Poor browser lock quality
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers!
