Hello i currently root my mxpe 6.0.1 and im using adaway and minminguard but the ads on google chrome are killing me
any suggestion on how to remove them ?
Adaway uses sources like mvps, which block big known ad sources.
You would have to get the source for the ad and report it to one of the adaway blocking services like mvps.
Or
Use greasemonkey for chrome and block that way.

Assuming you have adaway enabled, lol.
And after hosts file update, hard reboot or shutdown and bootup.
I use Adblock Plus it's a third party app but it works wonders.

Since you're rooted and want to block ads. Try out xposed & ad blocking module for apps.

I use adguard and am pretty pleased. It works non-rooted, too. There is some more tweaks you can do if you are rooted though.

my problem is with the chrome ads
well the most simple way is to use AdAway. its really easy to use. and i get no special DNS or VPN settings (whitch is very battery consuming)
Xposed MinMinGuard and Adaway
AdAway all the way

Try TugaBrowser, it's based on Chromium and has a built-in adblocker.

Hmm. Thanks for the tip. Is this only for browser?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Yeah it's just a browser and the adblocking engine is just working inside the browser. But try it, it's very smooth

I can't make it work on mine, it crashes on startup.
I use "Rbrowser" instead which has as well adblocker and is the only browser that does not have a scrolling lag on my MX Pure. Very happy with it.

I use AdAway but note that it sometimes causes issues. Blocks things like Google shopping links, coupons and promo code websites, redirects, even the eBay app would not work for me.

You can add the url base domain to your Adaway white list, such as:
ad.doubleclick.net
googleadservices.com
da.feedsportal.com
and others...
Use MOAAB, no need to install apps. Just flash

I used to use AdAway but too often it would block legitimate sites I was trying to get to. I then started using the Adblock Plus browser which was good for a while but has really gone down hill lately.
I'm now using FireFox with the Adblock Plus extension and while it isn't perfect, it most closely suits my needs.
you guys have an app to block youtube ads? I have installed youtube adaway exposed and was working flawlessly but since a few weeks stopped working and now youtube ads are all over the place. any suggestion?

Yes you do.
On Firefox you can install Adblock Plus plugin. It works pretty well.
Better install adfree app which is free on market and if you root your phone (very easy with one click root and unroot option) and it will disable all the ads on your phone even ads in games..!

That's what I use. Works for me.
After installing adfree make sure you download and install the hosts then reboot your phone.
I am pretty sure that adfree doesn't work for youtube ads. I don't think there's anything you can do about the ads since they come from youtube directly as opposed to an advertisement service server (which is how it works on most websites and apps).
I'm using AdAway, much better than AdFree : (sorry, can't post links now, just search in Google Play "AdAway")
I use adfree never seen ads on youtube
do you use youtube's app or by just entering m.youtube.com?
I'm using AdAway and I haven't seen a YouTube ad.

AdAway does the trick
I installed AdAway a couple days ago and i haven't seen a single ad on my tablet since. It appears to be working a lot better than Adblock Plus for Android.
The youtube apk has no ads if im not mistaken. Only www.youtube.com has them.
By installing any adblocker and useing either FireFox or Google Chrome you can block these ads

Without an ad blocker, the YouTube app will often play video ads before videos.

I can confirm ADAWAY works!!! =)
AdFree doesn't seem to work anyone on Kit Kat. It looks like "/etc/hosts" is still there, so maybe it's just the app. Besides manual copy paste into the hosts file, I was curious if anyone was using a working ad block app in Kit Kat.
Worked like a charm for me on the PA 4.4 version.
The version from kalo has built in ad block, so maybe you can flash that ram if you cant seem to get it to work.
Adaway worked for me on both N5 port and KK build by franco.

If you're on Chome and using the Reduce Data Usage feature, it will show ads even if you used an Ad blocker because the information goes through Google servers first for the compression then sends it to your phone.
The apps shouldn't show ads though.

Ad Away works fine for me. Sometimes when I try to update the host file the app fails but after another attempt it usually works.
Hi Guys,
It doesn't work for me. I am on 4.4 Nexus 4. I use AdFree and I can see it has replaced the host files but still I am getting the ads. Not only in Chrome but in other apps too. I tried to manually copy host files from here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916098 to the /etc/ folder. but still ads are there. AdFree used to work perfectly for me on 4.3. Any suggestions.. Thanks
Adfree works fine for me on 4.4 stock rooted, at least ad far as copying the hosts file goes. However, something in kit Kat is different and not all websites ads are blocked now.

Also installed firefox to check, if that made any difference. Strangely no ads on firefox. However, there are adverts present using Google chrome and some of the free apps that I installed via play store. Is it possible that android is by passing hosts file for chrome and other apps? BTW on my chrome there is no data reduction option present. I can only see "preload web pages" option, which I tried turning off and on but didn't make any difference.

If you must use it because you don't have root OK but it's not good...
It'll block only one small part of ads...

If there is an app that you use mostly offline and it shows ads, using No root firewall will stop it from showing ads. If the app needs internet to function (example a browser or something that needs synching) this will not stop ads in that as it simply turns off ads on a per app basis. It is all or nothing for a app. Good for most of the apps.
I have become accustomed to not seeing ads through out the user experience. I was using a flashable ad blocker from the N5 thread but I guess its not 5.0 compatible.. You guys have any suggestions.

Adaway apk has worked on lollipop with my n5 (n6 is being delivered soon). I just wish I could find something for you tube now.
Where is adaway available for download? Yeah I agree I watch a lot of YouTube and I used to have an Xposed module that blocked all add in the app, it was sweet.

Huh? AdAway is working for me. I downloaded it from f-droid. I just ran an Ookla Speedtest and no ads came up
I prefer using https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=org.adaway ... AdFree is nice but blocks a lot of the Slickdeals links for me, yeah theres whitelisting but Slickdeals has a lot of redirecting links whereas AdAway is less aggressive on that part and gets most of the ads.
I see @simms22 finally got his N6
I use adaway on my N6 and it works great.
Anyway to block youtube app ads? I used to use xposed module for this, but...

Whitelist redirect.viglink.com on AdAway then reapply the list.
Out of curiosity, can you run an adblocker (like adaway), have it modify the hostfile, then unroot and still have ads blocked? Or do you need to keep root for the changes to remain in effect?

You can unroot after making the change. You would have to re-root to update or modify the hosts file again.
