Since Google decided to get rid of the ad-blocking apps on the Play Store, I figured it would be a good time to take a minute and post these links for a few of the more popular ones.
Of course I take no credit for anything. I only posted these links here for a quick reference when the inevitable "where did the ad-block apps go?" threads pop up. All thanks should be directed to the devs who worked hard on these apps.
You can see I do not have a donation link, and never will, because I do not want your money. If you consistently use an app, you should be willing to donate to that dev, or purchase the premium versions of apps you use.
AdFree Official - Currently their site links to Google Play, but surely they'll fix it soon.

AdBlock Plus Official - Includes a direct download link.

AdAway ?Official? (code.google) - link to download F-Droid and install AdAway through F-droid.

If anyone has one you want me to add, or a better link to include, just comment and I will make the desired changes. Thanks.

I am sorry that you feel this way. But the fact is that we all have a choice, always. Every man has the ability to choose but no ability to escape the necessity of choice. One of the greatest assets of Android is the ability to choose, let's not start limiting those choices on this great open platform.
You are correct that I am a senior member and I do have plenty of experience with XDA. That is why I know this is a valid topic, and the mods should not (historically speaking) have a problem with this thread. Like already pointed out, XDA played a large roll in most of these apps. However, if any mod asks that I remove this, I will. And if any dev wishes his app removed, it will be done asap.
Don't be sorry for how I feel, kid.
Using ad blockers may be good for whoever uses it, but remember you are installing an app to circumvent the value exchange of someone else's labor, going out of your way to make sure they don't get anything in return. That's stealing.
From the dictionary: steal, take (another person's property) without permission or legal right, especially secretly or by force, and without intending to return it

There are spam ads on the net, potentially malicious ad links, and those bs ultra-malicious privacy invading airpush ads, etc..
Me personally I always buy an app that I use that has a donate or premium version. And as far as the "kid" comment, I was only trying to be polite and respect your opinion, I think it is you sir that is acting like a child.
Let this be the last of this conversation, from anybody, or I will have to contact a mod about it. And like ways anybody that has a problem with this thread please contact a mod about it.
Re: Ad-blocking apps
Wow, didn't know they removed them. Makes sense though.
On the topic of ad blocking apps, what do you guys recommend?
I download torrents on my phone and whenever I tap the search box, 2 tabs of ads open up. I'm using the one built into rom toolbox pro.
Sorry for sort of stealing the thread, it was just relevant to what I want to know and seems too small of a topic to open a thread for.

Afaik there is no benefit from installing multiple adblockers, just pick the one you like the most and stick with it. The exception being AirPush ads, although some traditional blockers may block those now too..

I haven't had a problem with anything anybody has said yet; I see both sides of the story, this thread is not about that and I don't want to see it closed over petty bickering about the ethics of blocking ads. Has nothing to do with a pissing contest.
Hey
If I don't want to see ads, nobody can force me to do so.
For developers, everyone have their PayPal account and
there shouldn't be any problem donating to them by your own
money. It's better and more efficient option than watching those awful
ads everywhere and tapping on them.
I would rather send them money if they work are improving my enjoyment
of using my cellular phones. And you know people do appriciate their work.
This is my opinion.
Do not install airblocker
So I just went to find AirBlocker, the simple/clean app I use to set up and forget after ever flash.. I was surprised to see it hadn't been removed from the play store, installed, and imediately notice the malicious/malware apps it placed on my homescreen. (See attatched.) Do not install AirBlocker. I am disappoint, so heads up.
Anyone have a good AirPush blocker alternative? Although its not really needed as you shouldn't have an app installed that has AirPush built in.

I updated the OP to include an apk download for AdFree (my preferred ad-blocker). I just pulled it from my phone and uploaded it to Google Drive. It is the latest version that was available from the Play Store before Google pulled it. Hopefully bigtincan fixes their official site to host the APKs themselves instead of linking to the missing Play Store link.
@WiredPirate - Thanks for starting this thread! :good:I had no idea this was happening, and I completely agree with your stance on adblocking and avoiding privacy invasion. I was about to report mateusm's priggish, provoking rants, but it looks like he got the picture..
Too bad about airblocker.. I've personally used AirPush Detector in the past, and it's open source. [dropbox link to BU'd apk] [google play link.. for now] I'm pretty critical these days about invasive ads, analytics (collects data on your personal phone usage, i.e. google analytics - watch out for this people), and especially the actual data collection via network. I've found that using a good firewall with a good ad blocker along with some advanced common sense keeps security tight regarding these concerns the majority of the time. I use Android Firewall, Adaway or Adfree, Android Tuner - to modify events triggering ads or invasive data collection, and 'advanced' or learned common sense with security and privacy protection. I think a firewall for android is increasingly necessary for android.
*Something very very important --not really related to ads but to network security and privacy protection-- to always consider is network encryption. This mostly pertains to wifi use, particularly in public or any network accessed by multiple users as a hotspot. If you're not using an encrypted network relay via proxy server when using wifi, you're taking a big risk having personal data, passwords, credit cards, fill-out form info, SSN, ***and any collected data from ads and analytics crap!!*** When accessing wifi networks over time with unencrypted personal data, expect that someone will eventually collect this data probably without even targeting you and it could be used against you. I'm just saying we all got to be careful with our multi-networking gps computer phones. I don't believe my phone should have one single ad, just like with my computer.

Well, it is free, and I've never noticed the ads, so they're not obtrusive. I don't see what the issue is.
hehe yeah.. goole puts advertisement all over the place ^^ that is their main income.
that's why adfree is the best app ever!
(of course you should still pay for apps instead of blocking the ads in the free versions)

If there is one spicific ad causing users a major problem in viewing the site then the admins MIGHT consider removing that particular ad, however the ads are what pay the server costs so.......

If you are seeing full-screen ads, or any kind of pop-up or overlay, please post a screenshot, as they WILL be removed.
that was really annoying to me too, and I was really surprise that this site would have a pop up ad like that. Then I realize that if the cursor passes over the ad then it will open. You don't have to click on it for it to open, so I don't know if that would be consider a pop up ad.
Like he said the ads are there to pay for the server, but this particular family dollar ad takes it to a different level.
don't navigate the mouse over the ad or else it will open and take up most of the screen. To me that is close to being malicious

actually the most logical answer would be to take the offending ads down. ads dont bother me in general and i understand that sites make their $ by serving up ads, so the question is why would u block the very ads that allow this forum 2 exist??
and its not whining, its a pop up ad. its annoying.
it isnt a BS excuse btw. i dont have adblock because i dont want to have it. i dont need to explain or justify myself to you. if the mods agree with me that it is an annoyance we shouldnt have to deal with they will take it down. if they deem it ok, i will still rock out w/ xda as it is a valuable source of info, i will just try harder to not mouse over anything accidentally.
i imagine the ad will eat up my fios bandwith and cripple my internet connection. this isnt 200 w/ 56k anymore man. i run a quadcore w 4gb of ram and have a fiber line to my house. i have this PLENTY under control. its just a lil minor thing. how about you mind your business and move along, keep your criticism to yourself...
the offending ads only maximize when "rolled-over" and as said have a X button in top right of all those type of ads.
however today i installed "ad blocker plus" on firefox and its counterpart "easylist" for IE9 (known as tracking protection lists, in ie add-ons ).
no ads anywhere, in either web browser!

The internet is full of advertisments and let's face it, almost every site that has an ounce of traffic uses ad revenue. The intention of xda is not to burden its members with ads that distract from the user experience. With that being said, if you have a problematic ad, please take a screenshot of the ad and post here so admin can take care of it. right now, that is the solution in place.
Thanks for your help in keeping XDA "intrusive ad free".

It doesn't happen all the time but I have this "mobprizes" redirect when visiting XDA.
Happened to me a few times so far, not sure if others are experiencing it.
Same as chazam ^^^^
First instance of it today. Web URL is mobprizes.com and the site header says 'Android Rewards'. Tried to browse XDA via Dolphin browser on Android and was auto-redirected to this spam page; you cannot press 'Back' or 'Exit' in the browser and have to click 'OK', whereupon another window opens asking you to enter your mob number (supposedly so they can contact you to sort out sending you your prize - which if you do a quick search on Google means you will receive plenty of premium rate text messages and no prize!).
Not sure what you folks can do but thought would mention it.
Incidentally, when performing a search re: this, one of the replies was on Yahoo Answers - when I clicked on this I was redirected to the same damn Android Rewards page!
I also noticed another forum in the search results is experiencing the same thing. Seems to be spreading.
Attached.
That ad at the bottom left corner just popped up from nowhere. I may not have captured it completely sry...
Edit: it's an IE rollover to view ad.
Hey everyone,
I have also created a forum where people (including myself) are experiencing similar problems.
Perhaps it would be a great idea to share our knowledge between the two forums and see what we can do to get rid of these annoying ads.
would of if i didnt have ad block

Pls get rid of it.
Thanks.

No offence meant to anyone here, but I'm quite surprised at all of this. Adblocks for Chrome and Firefox are available easily, nobody uses IE anymore and if you're on XDA you probably have a rooted phone and should logically therefore have an adblock app. If you really dislike ads, there's no need to put up with them

The advertising is becoming annoying and the re-registering method has been made to be difficult to see where the free option is...

I just had the same thing. I click on 'OK' or whatever it said when i should probably have just used the back button. It took me to the mobprizes thing which is clearly a scam. Hopefully just being taken to the site but not clicking anything wont have installed any malicious (i've literally no idea about android malware/viruses etc.).
All of the applications below appear to obtain access and information way beyond the needs of a Flashlight. Some appear specifically designed to collect and expose your personal information to cybercriminals or other nation states. In addition, you are at significant risk if you are doing Mobile Banking on the same device as one of these free Flashlight Apps.
Our strong recommendation is to uninstall your flashlight app immediately.
--From SnoopWall's Threat Assessment Report
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok, so we all know that we need to be extra careful with the apps we use and the permissions they demand, at least, if you are here on XDA, I certainly hope you know this! And for many of you it is probably 2nd nature to steer clear of many apps that require too many irrelevant permissions. However, it was just brought to my attention that yesterday SnoopWall released a Threat Assesment Report regarding the top 10 Flashlight/Torch apps in the Play Store, and every one of them can potentially be used maliciously! So I thought I would share this with everyone, first, so that you are aware of it, and second, so you can make others aware! Maybe if we show those stubbornly ignorant people we all know, they will start trying to be a little more careful, and start paying a little more attention to what they are doing!
One important thing to note, as I dont remember seeing it mentioned specifically in the report, is that during their investigation they found a lot of personal information being sent by these flashlight apps to Russia, China and India! Need I say more???
Personally, I have always stayed away from these flashlight apps for several reasons that are mentioned by the report. For example, why would any app that only functions as a flashlight need to be several megabytes in size??? Huge red flag if you ask me!
Anyway, as many of you know here, I do not have a lot of time right now, so I will just post the links you need to educate yourself below. I will try to post more information later on as time allows, but I just wanted to get this out there for anyone who needs to know about it.

There are 3 bookmarks baked into the Samsung browser that can not be removed. I can live with the one for Google, but the one for Mobile Web and Accessories are annoying the hell out of me, especially the mobile web one as it doesn't even take you to a functioning web site.
Used to be that disabling the partner bookmarks entry in the apps section took care of them, but that is no longer the case. To make it even worse, you can't even reorder them, so they are always at the top of your bookmarks.
Anyone come across a way to get rid of them?

He actually wasn't telling you which browser you HAD to use, he simply stated his opinion which he's allowed to do! If no one gave their opinions about apps we would never know which apps are better than another.. Calling someone names like you did (kid) and telling them to keep their mouth shut is lowering yourself and making you look bad! But just so you know @HipKat is one of the smarter people on here.. There's a reason his names a different color.. Lighten up some .
Also, if you want the bookmarks gone first try long pressing on them to see if they'll pop up a delete function and if it doesn't then there's only 2 options left and 1 of those you can't do because there's no root access on bootloader version 5 and the second thing you could do is get an app called package disabler pro it costs money but it's worth it to get all the bloatware out of the way or you can look into BK disabler too..
Edit: You can also download the older version of the Samsung internet app in .apk format and uninstall the current version and then install the older version.
