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.

Is there any good ad blocking software that runs at a browser level? I've used adblock but it runs as a proxy and can stop some apps from accessing the internet.

try AdAway, it's block ad in every app.
or use ublock in firefox, to block only for the browser.
and Ghostery too, works well . Also try bluehell firewall addon <- Both firefox Andriod.
Thanks guys I'll give these suggestions a try

Another AdAway fan...
Maybe Adblock Browser? https://adblockbrowser.org/
but I still love Chrome though
AdAway uses hosts file, so it's still a system level software

Managing our own hosts file is the best solution IMO. You have no control over a proxy. #TrustOrPray
AdAway FTW!!!
There is no widely used Ad blocker other than AdAway ?

AdAway is ONLY a user interface to manager your hosts file. This app doesn't block anything.
Check the XDA thread or Github to learn how to use it.
I use Adfree.
It blocks ads by adding the hosts to the local hosts file.
This method blocks the advertisements in all apps + browser
Sounds interesting. What host files do you need to implement to get add-free apps with adaway?

You only need Adaway: it is an interface, which unlike the other apps, does not waste your battery. It gets host sources from 4 respectable internet sites that get updated regularly. It also lets you add your own sites. It is so effective that Google has expelled it from its app store. And it is open source: you don't want to give root access to a closed source app...
are there Apps to block just ads on selected sites? Because I don't want to block all ads from all sites. I just want to block these sites, wich opens 20x Tabs by one click.

I can't find Adfree on Google play. Is it allowed only for some countries?
Google Play removed all ad-blocking apps. You can search here at xda-developers for AdAway and AdFree.

A hosts file blocks domains so the ad/domain/IP "X" will be blocked on any website.
is there any app is better than AdAway ?!

Why do you need something else?
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
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.

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.
Is there any apps out there that can do this?
So sick of all the ads on the apps

Unfortunately no. They appear to either be served server side, or the apps use the "home" servers as proxies for ads. I'm not sure which. Either way there doesn't seem to be a way to block the ads, even by using a third party client (which Facebook does not support and often intentionally breaks).

I miss the days where roms would just block all that stuff. well thanks for reply
Yeah, I think they changed things in response to ad blocking. That's how they make a lot of their money - other than selling your data and invading your privacy, they target you with ads. It's a revenue stream for them so it's unsurprising they'd want to protect it.
Ad blockers don't work in this regard because they only block known ad domains. This works well enough for web pages and apps that display ads from those domains, but it doesn't work when the app uses its home servers as a proxy.
Frost.apk stopped working 2 weeks ago !!! It's been unsupported for years, but was in service until now ! (facebook server must have been updated so this 3rd party app broken)
Search on XDA and all 3rd party FB app are dead !?!? (metal, LC, vanced, etc)
I found 1 post from a guy stating that re-vanced manager can patch the original facebooklite.apk, but it didn't work.
So far Opera.apk with oem adblock seem to do the trick, but not very nice to use .
Note : even ad-away can't block facebooklite ads. Very very annoying.
I'm use to see ONLY friends post and group post. That's it that's all, nothing more. No tiktok ****, or fake life hack, or robot vacuum that I dont need.

the best bet would be to try Revanced. They usually are used to patch to remove ads in YouTube, however they work in so many other apps. I use this app for Twitter to remove ads, and it works fine. I recommend giving Revanced a try. They are very likely to work for Instagram and Facebook.
