So I like using Chrome because I can't stand the stock browser and Firefox basically sucks Ass through a straw. The only thing I hate is the ads and pop ups and crap that I can easily block out with adblock extension on Firefox. I'm having a hard time finding anything that can help me on chrome and I don't want that damn adblock browser for android. Anyone have any tips on how to get rid of ads and pop ups (especially pop ups) in Chrome?
Adguard for browser only blocking is free but you can get a free premium trial to evaluate all of its services, including ad blocking on all apps.
Works with non rooted devices but expanded for rooted devices. There is a version for Samsung and Yandex Browser on Google Play but you don't want that for Chrome browser; goto the link below.

Adguard is on XDA as well with a beta program. They've always been helpful and available for me.

Is there an adblock plus app for Android? I heard that it had been ported but requires a lot of setup to get the easy list usa added. Anyone got an easy app recommendation for blocking adverts in the default browser. I think it would speed up browsing to block annoying flashing adverts.
Cheers
may i suggest a adblock host file like this one:
(flash as you would with a rom, no wipe/anything)
There's an ad-block plugin available for the Dolphin HD browser... Works great...
Would anyone happen to know what address I need to put in my host file to remove the ads in the dolphin browser (the speed dial)? It is always saying something about "making my phone 30% faster" and I want to get rid of it. I figured I could prevent the ads if I block the right addy in the host file.
Regards.
Ad free and Ad away don't work for you?

I'm sure that would work too, but I was just curious about how to find the specific ip that dolphin uses for its ads.
Edit: I installed Ad Away, it looks nice. Thanks for the tip.

Hi, does it really work?
As I know, some ads can be blocked after you paid for deleting the ads. Another way I know is to use a web filter like Aobo Filter, but Aobo Internet Filter provides web filteriing for PC and Mac, not for Android phones. If it really works, I want to have a try.
I use AdAway personally, there's also AdFree, they both act same imo, and we all know how much juice is drained by in-app advertisements, which won't even show in BBS, so it's a must for me to use an Ad blocking app. But the problem is if I apply then in ads in web browser also gets disabled, which ends up as a dull looking browser with white boxes here and there. I like the ads in web browser, which gives it a full desktop like view, and of course I'm talking about the stock browse here.
So my question is, is there a way to block the in-app advertisements only and leave the browser ads? Or is it a system wide block?
Thanks in advance.
PS: This is how the browser looks if ads are not blocked/disabled,
This is with ads blocked,

As far as I know, an ad block app either forces its own connection policies globally, or uses the hosts file to allow and disallow connections, both of which are system wide.

so here is my problem guys ... i'm using samsung galaxy note 2 for the past 14 months and i'm quite happy about it, but since i bought it i have experienced an irritating issue whenever i browse internet or facebook ( changing web browsers doesn't make any difference) some ad may pop up and some promotional apps starts downloading on its own ... it doesn't only cost me my data but also it pisses me off because every time i am browsing something important it pops up and redirect me to the promotional page ....some of the main apps are moboginie, c launcher etc... i have also tried ad block plus it does the job but i have noticed that whenever i install it my fb get stuck and stops loading pages ...
kindly help me if some one has solution for this or have faced same issue
and thanks in advance
Try to find the latest apk of Adaway(will work only if you're rooted) and use it to create new hosts(just 1-tap work, it does all on its own) and reboot. Your ads will dissapead.
Or if non-rooted use some browser like UC or Mozzila or any other which has ad blocking abilities or supports extensions

I have the galaxy s20 fe. I'm debloating it and was wondering if it's safe to remove samsung Internet. I only use chrome so it's just taking up unnecessary space. If so does anyone know the package name?

Try out Mozilla - works much much better on my s20+ variant compared to Chrome
Samsung Internet is great for watching movies and vids.
Get a few free ad blockers for it and it does very well.
In spite of going to knurly sites it is pretty immune to malware unless you do something stupid.
I run 4 browsers, Chrome being my least favorite and used.
I use each one for different things. Samsung is my movie time browser...
I agree. Once I started using the stock browser on Samsung I really liked it over all others. The true dark mode is a godsend on my eyes. The ad blocks really come in handy in dex mode browsing YouTube. No more double ads taking seconds of my life

Yes the dark mode is sweet for movies.
I use it to watch vids on some of worst adware/malware infested sites relatively immune. Nothing's got through for 10 months running. Same for Brave.
You can also customize the toolbar and it's placement. I run the beta version as well.
Brave is the other one I like because of its complete on the fly ad and privacy controls.
You can easily see what each site is -trying- to do to you. Detects and blocks browser fingerprinting.
Browse sites like Fox news without one ad or Tracker.
Minimum setup; punch a couple toggles and it automatically remembers that site's settings.
Only downside is it uses bit more battery and saving bookmarks is a nightmare... still.
Here a cool trick that the Samsung Browsers do...
Quickly Open a New Tab on Samsung Internet
Opening a new tab usually involves at least two steps: Tapping on a menu button, then selecting "New tab." Samsung Internet has a simple solution to shorten this process — just long-press the tab button along the bottom of the browser to open a new tab immediately.
