for those of you who are rooted and use "Adfree" app, when it blocks an ad does it fully hide the app like it would on a browser or does it show you the "cannot load page" browser page?
mine shows me that browser page, and I would like it to just be blank, is there a way to make it that way?
thanks in advance!

Use "Droid Wall" It blocks apps of your choosing from accessing the internet.. PERIOD. Some apps only need access to the internet just for ads (Astro).
MrDanger, could u post a list of the necessary apps and services that need to b allowed access. I'm new to android and not sure what needs to b running for proper operation.
to compile a list like that would be impossible.
just block apps that you see have ads and then try out the app to see if it works, one at a time.

Hello, I need xda's help.
This is for a learning tab that uses in academy. This app makes that we can download apps, but these apps are gone because this app intercepted downloaded apps. In addition, this app intercept apps that app was in tab. Like internent, chrome, maps, google+, youtube and so on. And it makes that we can't use another aps in class. So this was a describing this app. I want that first, we can download apps and we can use it for permanent. Secondly, I can use another apps in class. Thirdly, we unlock apps that was blocked. Finally, this was a very hard for me. This three apps has administrator rights. If we want to release it, this tab is restarting. This app is asssociated with chungdahm learning. I want you to we can use another apps for permanent, next, use another apps in class, thirdly, I want to unlock apps that blocked. Finally, to release administrator rights. I will link it for Dropbox. It has cdi launcher 2.4.20, cdi guardian 2.2.9
Sorry but I'll upload cdi utility later. So I want you to modify these three apps.
But it's ok that you modify these three apps for that we can use another apps for permanent. Thank you. And if you modified it, can you send these three files for [email protected]? It is my gmail. If you give me an email to this, I'll give you a file for you

Contrary to the popular belief, XDA is not a site that will help you to "hack" into anything. If certain apps are blocked at your college, it will be for a reason.
I am sorry, you will have to look else where.

Hello there.
My question is simple, i want to block the popup that appears on a lot of websites in chrome. Popup that show "the possibility to use the existing app", or "to connect", etc...
Popups so difficult to close because of a tiny cross!
You can look at the screenshot to understand what I mean (I already use adaway, that's why the popup is empty).

Download adblock from google, and install it
Adblock is the same thing as adaway.
And the popup will still be displayed.
It's something made with Java or something (I don't know how it works), and it's not an ad.

Try to find from which advertiser that popup comes from. Is there a link or a name below or above the ad? If not, click on the ad and see the top address before it redirects you to the actual ad. Many advertisers have a redirect URL before taking you the advert.
Anyway, once you get that URL, actually just the domain name, you can then use AdBlock and list that URL/domain in the blocked list.
Certain custom roms, have built in ad blocking features that work on apps including chrome. Otherwise I don't know if your idea is possible as the source of the ad is the same as the site.
Thanks for replying, but actually it's not an "ad". (It's an information delivered by the website to say "create an account" or "download the app or continue viewing the website".)
When it is, it's already blocked with Adaway and I have a blank window above the main website.
I saw an article about that, I can't remember the name of how it works or the way to block it....
Maybe it's possible only on desktop Chrome...
For about 1-2 months a small rectangular window appears from the up left corner (notification bar) and lands somewhere along the vertical centerline of the screen. The window contains rotating ads from legitimate companies and sits above all other windows. Neither suggested methods worked in opting-out. The first took you to a web page where the three ID codes for a phone. The tablet is WiFi only so the method is useless. The second merhod is to DL and install their app which performs an opt-out operation. This too does not work. Pressing the opt-out button take a window saying 'finished' and then another with an 'exit' button. This was tried three times and the pop-up still pop-ups. The adress on the page you are taken to first has an address: tracker.tcp.re.
Who's tracker is it? What's its purpose? Where does it originate on the tablet? What data is being gathered? Who is the responsible party for its embedding/disseminating your data/info?
I've tried newer/never used and unknown apps. I've looked at the running apps ...... nothing unusual. I can't fined anything suspicious
Thanks for any help that can be shared.

What was the app called that it made you download to opt out?
unfortunately there are a lot of apps that can cause this so its hard to say without knowing what you have installed but knowing the name of the app it wants you to download to opt out might help.

That's the other concern. There was a direct link to an unknown site with no address as this simple browser had no addess line. The site immediately downloaded the app (named 'Opt-out').
It did DL to my DL directory. You had one button to press, that was the install button. This DL'd app immediately flashed and said the pop-up was removed. It wasn't. My fear is it seeking private data with the "ads" just a cover. Who knows where the app resides. Could be anywhere.

That sounds like an airpush ad then.
you should be able to long press on the ad in the notification area and go to "App info" this should take you to the app that is generating the ad so you can disable notifications or uninstall it.
alternatively you can download airPush detector from the play store and it will search your installed apps to check for airpush enabled apps and you can decide what to do with them from there.
you might also check your photos/video folders as sometimes airpush downloads random ad videos to your device and you'll probably want to get rid of them as well, they arent usually very big but they do take up space and can be an annoyance.
Hi there, it's been a long time since i used my last Pixel (it was 2XL),
what i notice right away after using my P7Pro for few days is that Google Feed on this phone is showing a lot of ads/sponsored content,
i used host based adblock along with adguard private DNS on this phone, same setup like my other phone (Aquos R6)
but to my surprise, while it managed to block the ads/sponsored contents on my Aquos, it failed to do so on my Pixel.
Do google actually do same thing with apple on macOS ? setting up certain IP/URL/Connection in OS level, bypassing our DNS/VPN/Host ?
Because i dont remember ever seeing thia much of an ads in my Google Feed. And, as comparison, i dont see the same ads from my Aquos which signed into same google account.
Do you have any idea how to reduce it ? or block it ?
And, no, choosing "Show less" or "Block this ads" by pressing ... button on the Feed doesn't work.

I don't use Google Feeds it's an open door for some pubs
I prefer to use Flym which manages my RSS feeds and I don't have ads.
I also use AdAway and the Magisk Systemless Hosts-Unified module.
Adguard app, no adds unless you missed some filters/updates. Works great on Facebook too.
As others mentioned, you need a way to block/filter traffic on your entire device. There are apps that use a VPN to filter traffic without root, though there is always the root method of editing your hosts file which has been around for a good while which will always also work.
There is also one other option which is to use a DNS server which some companies provide as a paid service, the benefit there is you can choose to put the filter in your modem to have it filter down to all of the devices on your network, though personally I would never go for this option as iot is far too easy to block something you didn't want to, and a hassle to unblock it.
I installed a Play Store App, DNS66, and this seems to block ADs system wide including YouTube Music Ads - now it plays like a regular music player without the garbage ads every other song.
Thank you for all replies,
as mentioned i already using two adblock methods, root based and DNS based, and for other apps, the ads all gone, system widely,
only Google Discover still showing it,
but it SOLVED now, after turning off Ads Personalisation in My Ads setting in Google app, somehow all the ads now gone. Probably there's cache somewhere in my system which prevent the adblock to work 100% on Discover.

Hello guys as im not sure which section this thread should be in but since I'm p7p user with root i chose to go here.
Here's the problem Im facing.
I downloaded brave browser and set it to default browser.
Yet google (and all it apps like to use chrome for internet traffic like opening website from google feed).
Only possible way to divert everything is by disabling Chrome. But doing that you Will lose saved passwords pop up.
So is there any other possible way to change these settings or maybe a rooted app i can use to change system preferences.
Cheers and thanks
I think it's under settings of the app then open web links like say I clicked a Google search of a Facebook post it would launched the app but when I click the app setting then untick open app I'm not sure but I think it's that just looked at chrome it didn't have it but showed deafult browser so might have to check if brave is selected but yours is the 2nd post I seen about brave browser on 7 pro did you get march update by any chance
