The Best 5 Ad Blocker Apps for Android

 Ads are always annoying; they suddenly appear between the content we are browsing and spoil our mood. Fortunately, there are some ways to get rid of these annoying apps; you can use an ad-free version of an app or take a subscription to a platform, and more. However, the more easy and effective way to get rid of ads is to use an ad-blocker app. Well, these apps are not too costly and even work fantastically. In this article, we will introduce you to the best ad-blocker apps that you can use now on your Android device. So without wasting much more time, let’s get started.

AdAway (Root Only)

AdAway is a pretty decent ad blocker app that uses a modified host file in order to send all ad requests to 12.0.0.1. In simple words, it sends the ad request nowhere, and you don’t see any ads on your device. The app even has support for modified or custom host files. It stores the host files in a read-only part of the Android system, requiring a rooted device to function. The app is available for free to use, but it’s not available on the Google Play Store. So you will have to download it from F-Droid or other sites.

Adblocker Plus

Adblocker Plus is quite a popular ad blocker app that can be used on rooted as well as non-rooted Android devices. But to use this app on non-rooted Android devices, you will have to follow a few extra steps than rooted ones. However, The app continuously runs in the background and filters all the web traffic so that you won’t see any ads on your device. You just need to open this app, do a setup, and then it functions in the background on its own. It works fantastically and is available entirely for free to use. I would definitely recommend you try this app.

AdGuard

AdGuard is a fantastic ad blocker app that works very nicely. It works quite similar to Adblocker Plus. It also runs in the background and filters web traffic. It also works on non-rooted Android devices, but you will have to do a little bit of extra setup on this app like the Adblocker Plus. Additionally, it features a pretty decent user interface, good-looking Material Design, tools to keep the tabs on, like GlassWire. You can use the app for free, but the app’s free version blocks ads only on web browsers. To use it on Android, you will have to take a subscription to AdGuard’s premium version, which will cost you $24.99 for a year.

Browsers with Ad-Block

Besides ad-blocker apps, you can also try some browsers with built-in ad-blockers. These browsers are specifically designed to filter ad traffic, mainly offensive ad traffic. Well, some browsers with an ad blocker tool also there that you can use if you want; they are Google Chrome, Brave Browser, Kiwi Browser, Firefox Focus, Samsung Browser, Dolphin Browser, etc. You can download any of these browsers; they all work nicely.

Block This

Block This is a pretty decent ad blocker app that works very effectively. It is open-source, which means you can use this app entirely for free. The app basically uses the same VPN style setup as AdGuard and Adblock Plus do, but it uses DNS blocking rather than a filter. Comparatively, the DNS blocking method is quite effective, and it even consumes very little battery as most of the tasks are already done before the data reach your Android device. The app does its work perfectly, and you should give it a try.

All the above-mentioned ad-blocker apps work fantastically; you should try a few of them. That’s all for this article. I hope you liked it. Thank you.
