I need an Adblocker for my new Galaxy S7!
« on: March 27, 2016, 07:18:54 PM »
As they say, you don't appreciate it until you no longer have it.

And as my S6 was rooted and had Adaway which was fabulous, it basically eliminated most ads.


Now since there is no root ,and as the bootloader on all the s7's are locked which seems to indicate a very small chance of there being a root, I need to find an ad-blocker that works without root.


I tried the one that some online rave about "block this" it worked fine on occasion ,but also did not let me go to google.com and didn't let me use the ita matrix mobile app. So that's not a long term solution.



Any ideas?


 TIA.

Either the adblock plus browser or just adblock plus which requires you to set up a proxy on the wifi

The browser is pain, everything by me is stored in chrome. And the proxy idea does not excite me...

Crystal for Samsung?  In play store
or install firefox browser and use addon

or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.browser
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-netguard-root-firewall-t3233012
Crystal and adblock won't really do the trick, as I use chrome for everything. Also it will not help for the in app ads.

Netguard looks incredible, and I am test driving it now, and will report back.



Thanks!
