Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Block annoying ads. Block annoying and intrusive ads, such as ads on videos, saving data and battery life in the process. By default, respectful ads that meet the strict criteria of the Acceptable Ads initiative are shown, which helps support great content creators. Want to block all ads? No problem. Easy to use options allow you to control what you see. Ad Blocker Plus allows blocking host names via DNS. This can be used for ad blocking. It also allows other DNS servers to be added, for more privacy. Compared to AdBlock Plus, this works without proxy stuff; and it also does not require root, like AdAway does: Ad Blocker Plus establishes a VPN interface, and redirects DNS server traffic to it. The VPN interface filters the traffic, only allowing queries for hosts that are not blacklisted. A host (list) can be configured as allow, deny, or ignore. A later entry in the list overrides a previous entry. Custom DNS Servers can be configured as well, using the same UI, but no differentiation is made between ignored and denied servers. Ad Blocker Plus is the best way to get rid of intrusive ads and online tracking, and to protect your mobile from malware.

Ad Blocker Plus APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Ad Blocker Plus APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4e944cc1b5a3528c89a9aebf03c8a727.
