How to block ads on Android phones (Apps and Browser ads)

How to block ads on android phone

Are you tired of seeing annoying ads and pop-ups on web browsers and mobile apps like me? The worst thing about these intrusive ads is that they eat up half of your mobile data to download the advertisements. Additionally, the adverts also affect the performance of your smartphone’s battery and processor.

What’s more, most unwanted ads stalk you through cookies, tracking pixels and other messy tracking methods to collect data about you. This is a matter of privacy concern.

As a result of Google’s advertising-based business model, there are no apps available on the Google Play Store that can block distracting ads and pop-ups on your mobile device. Although there are many ad blocking apps outside of the Google Play Store, these apps require a rooted device or a complicated configuration process to use them.

Use of such applications may put you in harm’s way and may contain malware or viruses in them. It is also risky to install third-party apps from unknown sources. That’s why I am sharing with you the best ad blocking apps free from malware or any malicious hidden codes.
