The Official /g/ Android Adblocking Thread

>Is Adaway out of the box still enough?
Yes

>Can it be improved with other filterlists?
Yes

>Is there a way to make Adaway as effective as uBlock?
No, uBlock Origin can do more powerful blocking than the hosts file, mostly because the hosts file's primary function isn't to block ads

>Is DNS66 better?
No, since it uses a local VPN it means you won't be able to use a VPN in conjunction with it, only benefit it has over AdAway is it works on non-rooted devices and you can whitelist individual apps

Just get Firefox and uBlock Origin you nigger.

>>59404375
Adaway blocks ads everywhere you double nigger.

>>59404099
Why would you need a dedicated general thread for this? Just install AdAway and use the default lists.

no that's POF

>>59408764

No that's both.

rootless adblocking without VPN possible on Android?
adb + hosts file or something?

>>59408827
You can't fuck with the hosts file unless you have root.

If you only care about browsing you can use mobile firefox with uBlock origin. If you want to stop in-app ads though, root or go home.

>>59409770
adblocking is like the only reason to root for me. Well, can't have eberything i guess

>>59409833
Why can't you root?

>>59409957
i can. i was until last week.
Substratum works rootless and i guessed it might be a nice security reason to go rootless alltogether, but i miss the adless comfort.
