Adblock Plus Android

The app to block invasisve adverts

One of the most annoying things about browsing the Internet is definitely the invasive and non-ethical adverts that we come across on many webs. As you know, banners that pop up hindering our browsing experience leading us to accidentally click with the subsequent data consumption in the best of cases, if not the download of some stupid complement that fills our smartphone with junk. However, there are solutions to this first-world problem and one of them is Adblock Plus APK. You can download Adblock Plus Android for free and that will help you to block adverts, disable trackers, and block those domains known for spreading malware. This extension has become popular on smartphones but it can also be downloaded for PC as an add-on for some of the most used browsers: Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Maxthon, Yandex, and Safari.

How Adblock works

And now that you know what Adblock Plus APK is all about, we'll tell you how it works. It does so by means of filter lists which are really sets of rules that tell this software what to block and what not. The user can add any filter list as he can define his very own, although to begin with there are two enabled by default:

• A list of adverts to be blocked based on the user's language.
• A list of exceptions with acceptable adverts.

Browse without getting annoyed by invasive adverts: only allow those that have been designed ethically.

Does it block all adverts?
