Want to block ads on Android? Start at the device level.

Ads aren't just annoying, sometimes they can introduce tracking, malicious redirects, phishing pages, and distracting content, especially on devices used for work or learning.

For managed Android devices, one approach is to block ads by endpoint-level web filtering rather than relying on a browser-specific ad blocker.

IT admins can Create a web filtering policy -> Block Mobile Advertisements and Web Advertisements categories -> Apply the policy to selected Android device profiles -> Monitor blocked traffic through logs.

The policies are enforced at the device level, so users don't have to configure an ad blocker themselves.

How come Adnauseum doesn't get the love it deserves?

Adnauseum is basically Ublock origin, some can say its better since it also clicks on ads to poison your ad personalization data.

So why doesnt it get the same attention as other adblockers? You see the downloads on Adnauseum is a fraction of UBO, Adguard, or Ghostery.

Any idea why?

Block Ads in Mercado Play (argentina)

Hey!

Im trying to block ads in mercado play argentina https://play.mercadolibre.com.ar/ and when finding which web addreses are the resposible for the ads, I find that the video player stops working after blocking them all (as if at least one ad has to be viewed maybe?)

Has someone found or bypassed an ad like this?

Thanks!

Which site has the most ads ?

I know it might not be relevant to this sub, but I have a college project on the importance of adblocker and quite a few other things on the web, So I decided to show a live demonstration.

The idea is i'll visit the site with ubo off and show how dirty the site is filled with ads and trackers and stuff. Then I'll turn on ubo and show the difference and show how many ads and trackers it blocked.

Can I get a list of site which bombard you with ads the moment you visit them ?

I would appericate if its not a NSFW site with NSFW ads since its a College demonstration.

Weird solution to new Adblock Pro YouTube error (dunno the specific error code)

Hey there! So I've noticed a few people talking about a new error that is occurring while using Adblock Pro that is making videos constantly buffer between the 0:00 mark and the end of the video. Well, I haven't dealt with it on my computer (I use opera gx with ublock origin), but my boyfriend has (Microsoft edge with Adblock Pro [yes him using edge is very cringe, he will not listen to advice]). Anyways, he discovered a weird workaround. So if you queue up a video on the same account on YouTube TV, and it loads an ad, it will make it work on your computer instantly. Also, there were no errors on demonetized content. So hopefully this is helpful to someone. Very strange, but it works.

TL;DR- run a video that is on the same account as your PC on the YouTube TV app until an ad plays. Your queued video on your PC will instantly boot up.
