Adblock Plus for Android Released

Adblock Plus for Android may sound too good to be true, but it works. It not only gets rid of banners, pop-ups, and video ads while you browse, it also kills those often annoying in-app ads.

Released yesterday, Adblock Plus for Android offers a no-nonsense way to completely remove ads from your mobile computing experience. Simply download and install the app, and let it run behind the scenes. From there, you should notice that display ads, video ads, push notifications, and even many in-app ads are no more.

So far, I've seen AdBlock Plus kill ads on several Web sites, including Google, and within the ad-supported Pandora app. According to its developers, though, AdBlock Plus does not work when browsing with Firefox for Android, since Firefox does not support Android's system proxy settings.

Adblock Plus works right out of the box for nonrooted mobile devices running Android versions 3.1 or higher. Older versions of Android require you to manually configure proxy settings to get the app to work.

With Adblock Plus for Android installed, Google responds to a search query and returns no ads or sponsored results.

Takes 58MB RAM. :(

I use AdAway - a different mechanism, but it does the job very good.

Yep, that's what I use as well. Though it requires root, its the most efficient adblocker for Android.

I know. Rooting kills it for me. :(

I rooted my SII after a week I bought it, and SIII a day after. I haven't had any issues with the phone, so its not an issue for me, though its always possible to reset the binary counters back to zero. :)

Thing is, if a phone breaks, here, we don't have expert repairers who can repair smartphones. So I'm waiting for my warranty to end in May end.

My phone not in the list. :(

There is only one way to root HTC One V, root it from HTC's official bootloader, which, in return, gives HTC the info that the phone is rooted.

There is topic for unlock and root, my buddy wrote it, but it's on Serbian :)

There should be no problems with Google Translate :)

Thanks for the info. :)

But, the method used is the same, the Toolkit that unlocks the bootloader, first connects HTC Dev site and gets the unlock from there. Means, warranty void.

There is no unofficial method created for HTC One V, that allow unlocking the bootloader. There's only official, warranty voiding method available.

Correct, there is no method without voiding the waranty, and it's the rule for all phones I think :)

What about bootloader unlocking exploits?
