None that I'm aware of. Apps like that need to modify system files, which can't be done without root.

With root on my SIII I used Adaway and never saw ads. I never realized how great this was. Can anyone recommend anything similar for this phone?
Thank you in advance!
Without root we are out of luck.

If you're not rooted, you could download apps that can remove ads from your downloaded apps. Check this out and pick one.

Adblock Plus actually worked really good, but it seems to only block ads on wifi. Any good ones that block ads on both wifi/4G?

unfortunately, only rooted devices are able to filter ads on 3g/4g. On older android version and other service provider, we could add proxy to APN to make it works on 3g/4g but our Verizon note4 this function is blocked. To reduce ads on 3g/4g, you can use Chrome to block popup ads and also enable data usage in Chrome settings.

I have been using this module since almost 6 months now, I can confirm that it is absolutely fully functional. Works like a charm.

Great, I've tried it out anyways after I asked the question. Just needed confirmation
Try MoaAB (Mother Of All Ad Blocking). No need of app. Just a simple host file. Search in Google 'MoaAB'
Hosts files can be very dangerous, you need to trust the source of those files. I am using AdAway because I trust them.
Other blockers might seem to "work" too, but I don't trust them. You don't know when your bank account (or any account for that matter, even this site sign-in) gets re-directed and where.

Lots of people are using this mod & no one ever reported something like that!
The following Hosts file by StevenBlack are best. And they are frequently updated. Grab it from github. Use Google chrome from your phone and check "Request desktop website" before proceeding the below link.
https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
1. click hosts
2. long click on RAW button and save the link. This will download the hosts file in txt format.
3. remove the .txt extension
4. Copy the hosts file to following path
/system/etc
5. Change permissions of the hosts to rw-r-r
That's it..!
Many people decide not to root their Android device. Because of this, Android modification can get tricky and is very limited. Luckily, with Adguard you’re able to block ads on websites, apps and protect yourself from phishing and malicious trackers. Adguard creates a local VPN connection in order to filter ads, trackers and other malicious content. Any possible connections to Adguard are encrypted, so your data is safe. Adguard is hands-down the best solution if you don’t have root access to your Android device.

Bro Really thanks bro...:good:
just used this apk..its awesome
i like adaway. it works great.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, if it has just delete my post. There's a new app in playstore called Adhell. Seems to work great so far it does not require root but does require admin access to use the builtin samsung firewall to block the ads. Also includes a package disabler but I have not used it yet. Best of all the app is free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getadhell.androidapp&hl=en
I have been using this app for quite awhile now and it does it's job. My phone is not rooted and the app is very silent and has a few options. Definitely worth a try.
Thanks for the tip, I find myself grappling with the question "Do I need to be rooted still or not" .... its getting less and less prevalent. Ad Block is one of the last features still requiring it I'll check this out when I reflash and not rooted :good:

Adhell was pulled from the playstore so you need to google Adhell apk to get the app.

Actually its here on XDA now, but not by the original developer as from what i read. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/adhell-2-rootless-ad-blocking-t3663559
I tried installed adaway.apk and it failed to apply the host files. Also tried the Magisk plugin unified host files module and that seemed to have no effect. Anyone have any success with a ad blocking method. I don't want to use a VPN type ad blocking all the time. Thanks.
The latest adaway worked fine for me on 8.1, are you getting any errors when applying the host file? In Magisk under superuser is adaway listed and checked on?
The latest adaway worked fine for me on 8.1
did you install busybox from the magisk download and check systemless hosts in magisk

What are people doing for non-root adblocking? I had root on my old phone and it's really tough for me to sit through all these ads......
For web browser ad blocking... I use Brave browser. Really enjoy the browswer
I personally don't use system-wide ad blocking. Any of the apps I do use which have ads, I usually used my Google Opinion/Survey reward money to just buy ad-free version of it.
Youtube is an exception. I suppose that's the only thing I don't have ad blocking for. Haven't tried YouTube in browser to test it

Before I rooted, I used DNS66. It blocks most ads, and didn't affect my battery life. I got it in the F-Droid app.

This is the first phone I don't root, since I'm a little bit tired of modding my phones for the moment, and I've found out Blokada (you can find the thread here on XDA or install it from F-Droid): it's amazing and it doesn't drain the battery, even if it uses a VPN
adaway work great for me.. im on the November build.
Adaway not working.... Rooted with magisk
Suggestions?

I've been away from the Android scene on a Jailbroken iPhone for a few years. I just received my Z2 and was hoping folks could provide an answer. If I root it (when my OTG cable comes in) is there an ad blocker in the Magiskmanager that I can use to block ads in Youtube?
Thanks.
Xposed framework may have a YouTube adblocker you could put on and adaway is good adblocker. Worked for me after mounting system rw and making adaway system app it was able to merge hosts file for general as blocking.
There is a modified Youtube apk that reportedly removes ads. AFAIK none of the xposed etc modules work any longer.
For the rest of the ads, you can use Adaway (rooted)
or DNS66 if not rooted.
Cheers

I've used Adaway on my rooted One Plus works great.
For the Moto Z2 I reverted it back to unrooted, got tired of system updates causing bootloops.
DNS66 seemed to cause massive wakelocks and was not blocking correctly.
Block This Ad Blocker worked so much better, very close to the performance of Adaway.
