Android Ad Blocker

If you have a rooted device you can always rely on AdAway

BiomedOtaku OP , 10 months ago

My device isn’t rooted but I will look into that.

Vitaly , 10 months ago

You can try it

Cabeza2000 , 10 months ago

I use AdAway in a non-rooted device and it works fine. You need to use it with a local vpn mode to function.

CmdrShepard , 10 months ago

Same. Doesn’t work for youtube ads though as they’re served from the same place as the video content. AFAIK browser based blocking is the only way to do it.

adaway is awesome but it won’t block youtube ads

Vitaly , 10 months ago

Maybe, i simply use firefox+ublock origin and that’s fine for me

andthenthreemore , 10 months ago

For YouTube I think the only options are revanced/ revanced extended or Firefox Nightly with a whole bunch of extensions.

Isn’t ublock Origin sufficient? It is at least on desktop browsers.

jack , 10 months ago

Yes, ublock is enough on mobile

anisphia , 10 months ago

Revanced extended is great Sadly the devs discontinued it due to unacceptable community (i’m one of the admins of revanced extended)

protput , 10 months ago

Wtf. Now revanced stopped too? Didn’t they just release the patches for all the 3th party reddit apps.

Revanced extended …

Not Revanced

I setup Firefox Nightly with SponsorBlock as a substitute before Vanced went down. But I noticed yesterday that it doesn’t seem to support 60fps videos.

Try this:

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

AphoticDev , 10 months ago

Get ReVanced.

Browser with extensions is great and all but Youtube Revanced still way better option it support gesture google account (that google can’t track you) picture in picture and it’s easier on your device’s ram/cpu, for in app ads you can try Lucky Patcher to remove ads as long as the app is not using account to buy premium features LP should work on most app

Kiwi browser with ublock origin extension or revanced or newpipe

Would recommend using nextdns for all other ads

ebd6a8c9051028dc1607 , 10 months ago

i suggest to use a open source front end (such as newpipe). and use adayaw (a hosts based ad blocker) for the generic ads

Akasazh , 10 months ago

Is there one that supports casting over chromecast (or other)?

Justly0250 , 10 months ago

There’s also newpipe x sponsorBlock

Abracadaniel , 10 months ago

Newpipe sponsorblock is so good.

SamuraisEpic , 10 months ago

revanced.app. there’s also an app on f-droid called adaway.

Gamey , 10 months ago

I would usually suggest Newpipe but that’s a little buggy rn so Libretube is probably your best bet, that even has sponsorblock aka it skips in video promotions from influencers too!

Quexotic , 10 months ago

TrackerControl may work for this if you must use the stock app, newpipe is probably the best solution and finally, you can also use ad blocking dns and there may be VPN solutions as well.

Good luck

ChopArts , 10 months ago

Use " dns.adguard.com " for your dns.

I haven’t had an ad since making the switch.

user224 , 10 months ago

I’d recommend NextDNS, although I haven’t tried the AdGuard DNS. You can choose from many blocklists, add stuff to Denylist or Allowlist (which I had to do for AliExpresss app to work properly), check logs to see what was blocked or allowed, add Rewrites which was useful for lemmy.fmhy.ml and fmhy.ml, and there’s a bunch of other protection options.

You can also test it out for free WITHOUT SIGNUP for 7 days. If you clear your cookies you can get another 7 days over and over without signup.

iirc changing your DNS doesn’t really block ads in the app since they serve ads using the same server side domains or something.

BiomedOtaku OP , 10 months ago

Thank you all for your comments ! I appreciate the help.
