Block ads on Android without root

After the introduction and growth of Google AdSense and Google AdWords, Ads have become the main form of earning money for website owners and app developers.
Ads are so intrusive that they almost make it impossible to make use of the free content the app or website gives. They also very often slow down the device . In this article you can know a few apps and ways to block ads on Android without root.

Opera Web Browser

Opera is a great web browser for mobile phones because it uses much less data and has a built-in ad blocker which default Android browsers lack. I must say this is indeed a great web browser. All you need to do to make use of its ad blocking functionality is enable Data savings and then make sure you check Block ads.

Main features:
  • Very quick and easy to use. 
  • Offers data savings.

According to the  researches, shows that browsing with the Opera’s ad-blocking feature is on average 45% faster compared to browsing on Google Chrome with the AdBlock Plus extension.

AppBrain Ad Detector

Adblocker Browser

Adblocker Browser is another alternative which lets you block ads on Android without root. Just like the browser one discussed above, Adblocker Browser was also created to let its users browse the web without ads and annoying popups.

Main features:
  • It blocks ads by default. 
  • It saves data and battery life
In this browser Ads are blocked before they get downloaded. It protects you from tracking (ex:- collecting your data by advertisers) Unfortunately, in some cases it leaves the blank space where the ad should be .
