Adblock Plus for Android 1.2.1

Adblock Plus for Android is a powerful security software that blocks all annoying ads on your tablet or smartphone. With no root required, it blocks intrusive ads from reaching your phone, including most in-app ads and those you would normally encounter while browsing. This software is designed to work similarly as it does on your desktop, providing you with an ad-free browsing experience.

Adblock Plus for Android works as a proxy server solution blocking all mobile ads in your browser, video advertising, banners, push notifications and display advertising among others. Additionally, an option to block malware and tracking is included.

It's important to note that Adblock Plus might have limited functionality depending on the Android version you are running and whether your device has been rooted. If rooted: Blocks ads over WiFi and 3G; Non-rooted with Android 3.1 or later: blocks ads over WiFi; Non-rooted with Android 3.0 or earlier: some manual configuration is required.

Furthermore, Adblock Plus for Android does not allow ads to be blocked on SSL encrypted websites.

One of the best things about Adblock Plus is that it's an open-source project with hundreds of volunteers contributing to its development and maintenance of over forty continuously updated filter lists in more than a dozen different languages.

The Acceptable Ads initiative ensures that all annoying ads are blocked while supporting websites fully reliant on advertising which still remains the primary source of revenue for many sites online today.

Please note that Adblock Plus will probably become the highest data-using application on your Android device because it needs to filter data to ensure that the ads can be blocked effectively. However, this should not be a concern since Adblock Plus only uses a fraction of the data shown on your device.

Cons

Download difficulties: Since Adblock Plus downloads from its own site instead of the Play Store, some users might find it more complicated to download and install. We had no trouble with our Android 4.3 phone.

Rooting: Devices running older versions of Android might need to be rooted to run Adblock Plus. Rooting your device can violate its warranty, disable updates, and cause other apps to misbehave. For experts only.

Proxies: You might have to configure any proxy settings manually on your device, which could be an issue if it's a company phone. Be sure to check before policy issues arise.

Bottom Line

With more than 200 million downloads, Adblock Plus has proved effective in Firefox, Chrome, and many other applications. It's now available for Android, and we recommend it for any user who is tired of intrusive ads.
