AdFree vs ROM Toolbox ad blocking

I was trying to find out which of these two apps has better adblocking. They both replace the hostfile so its pointless to use both. Which of the two has a better hostfile, anyone know?

You should try out AdAway

How does AdAway compare to ROM Toolbox Pro for ad blocking? The very first app I installed after rooting was AdAway. I just bought ROM Toolbox Pro and was thinking of ditching AdAway since that is a function of ROM toolbox

Moved to General Q&A.

It all depends on the sources for the blacklists. I know in AdAway, you can add/change your sources, not sure about ROM Toolbox.
Get one master list of blacklist sources, and use one app for all of 'em.

ULTIMATE ADBLOCK COLLECTION ---> updated adaway to v3.1

+++ updated adaway to v3.1 +++
if you like me dont like the annoying ads and other not wanted pop ups,i decided to post the best adblocking+ apps available atm
its very difficult to say which one is the best for what rom/android version,its best to try and see/test yourself
-im using adaway atm, for me the best

4.[Xposed Module] Xad presented by XDA Senior Member DragonHunt3r, who created a module to block the Google Ads API. With this module, you can get rid of most ads seen on your device. Installation is really easy. All you need is root and the latest version of Xposed Framework.

here is the original site here you also can get the download ABP thread<----CLICK HERE
6.lucky patcher its also a very good addblocker,but i can not put a link here because i think its forbidden,because it can do more then just blocking adds,if you wanto try it just use google
7.[Xposed module] MinMinGuard . It can completely remove both the ads inside apps and the empty space caused by those ads. Conventional ads removing apps are only able to block the ad content, but the space taken by the ad will still remain unused (black). MinMinGuard successfully removes that black space, which extends the app window and makes your user-experience better.
All you need is root and the latest version of Xposed Framework
the official thread can be found here,with a very detailed what and how to------>MinMinGuard thread<----CLICK HERE
thanks xda member sound2005 for the find
8. New Airpush Detector this will detect which application is integrated with Airpush and detailed status like smart wall ads , push icon ads, push ads status. You can click an application to open setting and uninstall that application.there are a few more airpush detectors around ,for me this one works the best
it can be downloaded at the market for more info click here---->new airpush
i think i mentioned the 7 best addblockers+...ofcourse dont forget your phone needs to be rooted
and dont forget the thank/donate the original creaters!!
if i forgot mention a adblocker or/and a thread please let me know and ill add it here
and ofcourse youre findings good or bad with a specific blocker can be shared here just post it!!

If I install Xposed and some modules then unroot my phone, will they still work? or do I need to move them to system apps, will this work?
Does XmultiWindow or XHaloFloatingWindow work on R9 Plus? which is better in your opinion for simulating the nougat feature?
Please reply. Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Should I just use Root Cloak instead of moving Xposed to system apps?

I got the device too

Why not use Systemless hosts built into Magisk under settings?

How to install

Question magisk modules

what Magisk modules do y'all suggest for OnePlus 9 ?

I keep mine pretty simple.
Google Dialer Framework
Systemless hosts (interfaces with Adaway)

@watermelon_sugar Harry Styles reference? Lol

Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures
Google Dialer Framework
SQLite 3 Universal Binaries
GPay SQLite Fix
JoyPixels Emoji
Systemless Host

Why are you guys using Google dialer framework? G -phone is the built in default phone app on op9/pro.
Systemless hosts
Detach
Youtube Vanced
BusyBox Ndk
