I have a few questions about ad blocking on android. I was wondering if there was currently an xposed module that will block ads in chrome. I installed minmin guard but it doesn't seem to block ads in chrome. While playing around with minmin guard I tried disabling ads on android system webview because I've heard that the two interact. I found that it disabled an ad network called admarvel but could find very little information on why it would be in a system package. Any one have any ideas/knowledge? Thanks in advance.
uses adaway blocks advertising even in browsers, it is not an Xposed module and there is n't in the play storie but you can find it here on xda
I'll give it a try

Hey guys,
I search a way to block ads in my browsers (google chrome or firefox). I have a rooted Huawei P9 and I have Xposed Installer on my phone. Does anyone know a way how to block ads in browsers..?
For Firefox, install the AdBlock Plus or AdBlock Edge extension.
With xposed framework on your phone you'll probably want to use this instead of any google play options

Can any one suggest me which one adblocker is good for my oneplus 3 open beta 7
Adaway
Or adblocker
Or minminguard
Adaway and adblocker: they block ads/pop-ups that appear from the browser only.
Minminguard (Xposed module): it blocks ads that appear within an app.

I don't get ads within apps with AdAway. Maybe the occasional ad but almost zero within aps.

On the surface it looks like they both function the same way.
What kind of ads "within the apps" are you referring to? There are many kinds (pop-up? Ads at the bottom/to section of the app that is a persistent display of ads? etc.).
Adaway, blocks the "connection" (like a regular computer, Android has a file named "hosts"...you normally enter some IP Addresses in there - typically, the IP Addresses of the ads that will be served to your device) to the ads, but not the actual placeholder of the ad itself.
So you will notice, for example: try opening XDA forums on your mobile browser (with Adaway already configured). Scroll through some threads. Notice that while there are no ads, the actual "placeholder" of the ads are still there. Also within certain apps, while Adaway can block the "connection" to the ads (and in effect, will result to no ads showing up), you will notice that the "placeholder" of the ads are still there as well in the app.
Some apps don't use "placeholders" for ads within apps, so in this situation you won't notice the difference between how Adaway and Minminguard will function. But there are apps that have "placeholders", so while you won't see the ads (by blocking the connection to the ads using Adaway), you will still see the placeholders (which is what Minminguard can "eliminate").
Minminguard "eliminates" the actual placeholder of in-app ads. That's how it is different from Adaway. It does not block ads from the browser, however. Minminguard is clear in its purpose (blocking ads in apps only).
May have to try minminguard. AdAway works very well, but it does leave the placeholder you mention.

Yup. Just remember:
1. Minminguard was specifically created to block ads and their placeholders that show up in apps. And, Minminguard's purpose is primarily to target ads (and placeholders) within an app only. Also, Minminguard requires Xposed. Finally: because Minminguard is focused on apps, based on my experience it doesn't remove the placeholders of ads in the browser.
2. Adaway is geared more towards blocking the connections to ads. It is more focused to block ads on the mobile browser.
3. Having said that they have different focus areas, you can install both without causing issues on the device.
pop up are really irritating me as if lately.
adaway, i've literally never seen a popup
I'm using DNS66 (no root) that block ads also on apps (works also with browser).
Love It
I use AdClear blocks add in apps and browsers and no pop ups
Block This with no root seems to work here is the link https://block-this.com/
Check out blokada in xda labs.
I had AdAway on all of my previous smartphone and I never saw one ad not even in messenger or Instagram. Now ads are everywhere and I don't know why AdAway wont block them (I have Magisk install and AdAway installed "successful").
Will rooting the device help with disabling ads in apps? Ex: Instacrap(instagram)

root wont do that by itself, but root will allow you to sideload apps that will block ads on many/most apps. You can also defeat a great many ads with the built in VPN
For paid option You can use Nord vpn (not google play version though!) or for free option you can use some free adblock DNS like adguard dns to get rid of most of advertisements but, for apps like YouTube or Instagram because, the way they preview ads are different than other apps there is no option other than using their patched app which could be not as safe as their original app but, those options I said usually block most of ads in any browsers or other apps that use normal way of showing in-app advertising.
