ITT we discuss the latest developments in Android adblocking.
Is Adaway out of the box still enough? Can it be improved with other filterlists? Is there a way to make Adaway as effective as uBlock?
Is DNS66 better?

Yes

Yes
>Is there a way to make Adaway as effective as uBlock?
No, uBlock Origin can do more powerful blocking than the hosts file, mostly because the hosts file's primary function isn't to block ads
>Is DNS66 better?
No, since it uses a local VPN it means you won't be able to use a VPN in conjunction with it, only benefit it has over AdAway is it works on non-rooted devices and you can whitelist individual apps
Anthony Rogers
Just get Firefox and uBlock Origin you nigger.
David Gutierrez
Adaway blocks ads everywhere you double nigger.
Luke Edwards
Why would you need a dedicated general thread for this? Just install AdAway and use the default lists.

rootless adblocking without VPN possible on Android?
adb + hosts file or something?
Jordan Stewart
You can't fuck with the hosts file unless you have root.
If you only care about browsing you can use mobile firefox with uBlock origin. If you want to stop in-app ads though, root or go home.
Ayden Jones
adblocking is like the only reason to root for me. Well, can't have eberything i guess
Liam Taylor
Why can't you root?
Owen Torres
i can. i was until last week.
Substratum works rootless and i guessed it might be a nice security reason to go rootless alltogether, but i miss the adless comfort.
