Opinions on non-root ad blockers for Android?
Adguard
Netguard
Dns66
AdClear
Block This
Right now I have Adguard installed, with pretty much the default settings. I know the reported battery stats are greatly skewed, but it still seems like it wrecks my battery. Ideally I'd just like an app that I can use to block ads in specific apps only.
Suggestions?

Firefox with noscript and ublock origin. Yes, on android.
I use DNS66. Virtually zero battery usage. I don't know about the others but I guess they too work by setting up a local VPN. DNS66 is also open source which is a plus.
This.
ublock works surprisingly well on mobile
I'd do this for sure if it wasn't for all the Chrome sync features.

It's more of an annoyance thing than a privacy thing for me. Mobile ads are cancer even compared to desktop ads. I've made peace with the fact that my data is a commodity that is bought and sold every day.
Currently running NetGuard with a hosts file, but I'm having some issues with it fucking up some downloads with my SMS media. DNS66 any better?
Another one to consider. I haven't used it but I've heard it is really good.

Can you set it to only work with specific apps?
the likes of adguard and such do the same method
the likes of adaway (and other root methods) don't set up a vpn and just use hosts file
You can whitelist apps
This
If you have root access you don't need any applications, just use the hosts file in /system/etc/
If you don't have root access, use DNS66
>NetGuard
developer is a filthy jew fucking you in the ass with ads, don't use NetGuard.
Is he still fucking users in the ass is you download NetGuard from GitHub or F-Droid?
What, how?
The one from GitHub has ads.
Do people just use other stuff because Adguard isn't free? It seems like by far the best app.
Is the F-Droid one without ads then?
Firefox is great but it drains batteries mane
I heard some app called blockada, the website was blockada.org, it seems to use the ublock lists. Is it any good? It doesn't require root
My bad, blokada, and site is blokada.org
Looks interesting, but I've never heard of them and it doesn't look open source.

They're shit. AdAway or bust.
I'd love to use it, but no root here.
I've had good results from Adguard, the only real ``problem'' is that it's subscription-based but it's only like 7 bux a year
Yeah I got a 2x lifetime using Russian Rupies trick for like $5 so I'm good there.
android n00b that's been using DNS66 for a few days now, works breddy gud so far, even with Fi

not only fat, but you are retarded as well. good to know.
Holy fucking shit that font
What's wrong with you?
Chrome Android extensions fucking when!????????
honestly considering reporting this to the fbi
>non-root
What the fuck.
Why?
It's the best protection against screenread walware
Netguard (f-droid) works well but I've since switched to pi-hole for blocking ads across all devices.
I guess the root hostfile way would be good for when you have to use mobile data but it's not a massive issue for me.
DNS66 for lyfe my brother.
>Free as in freedom

>Can use either domain filtering/DNS filtering/both for maximum compatibility with different networks.
I uninstalled Adguard. No regrets.
>fucking up your fonts to protect from screenread malware
PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
