How to block ads in all Android apps and games (No root & root)
Tired of
random ads and popups that ruin your experience and interrupt while playing
games, waitching video and surfing on the web? and while using mods with
malcious ads from other site? This simple trick block across your entire
device, in your browser, in the apps and the games. Some of these tools require
root access, but you won’t need it at all in most cases.
Blocking ads
is highly recommended if you use mods from other site with malcious ads
injected!
Changing the DNS (Android 9 Pie and above)
One of the
easiest ways to block ads on Android smartphones is by changing to an
ad-blocking service’s private DNS provider. This method requires no apps, but
it only works on Android phones with Android 9 Pie and above, as the Private
DNS setting was introduced with this version of the OS.
To change the
DNS, go to Settings > Network and Internet > Advanced > Private DNS.
Choose the option “Private DNS Provider Hostname”, and enter “dns.adguard.com” or “us.adhole.org“, and hit “Save”. And that’s it.
On some
phones, the path to change the Private DNS may be different. If your phone UX
has a search bar, simply search for “Private DNS” to land on the relevant
settings page.
However
chrome is designed to ignore this by default. So an additional step is required
for blocking ads in chrome.
Type
"chrome://flags" in your chrome browser. Search for "Async DNS
resolver" in the page which opens up and change the value to
"Disabled". This will ensure chrome follows the system DNS setting.
That's all!

Using apps
Those apps
sets up a local VPN to filter out ads and trackers that doesn't require root,
and may drain battery a bit, while root way like AdAway and LP can directly
modify hosts in the system without VPN, thus saving battery life
Choose the
apps you like to use. They are pretty easy to use, just need to install and
press a button to enable. Make sure to allow installing apps from unknown
sources in your device’s OS settings. I recommended Adaway in root way because
it's free and lightweight

The full-featured version, due to Google's business model, isn't allowed on

Replace hosts file manually (Root only)
Download any
hosts file you like to use: StevenBlack/hosts
Open any file
manager, enable and grant root access and replace "hosts" at
/system/etc
Restart your
phone and you are now ad-free!
With this
way, you can't whitelist the sites or apps. If you use Chrome or other browsers
which have "data saver" or "VPN" build-in, enable it to
bypass adblocking and bypass anti-adblock warning message. Or use Puffin
Browser or any free VPN apps.
Problem?
Read this:
* If you use
Chrome or other browsers and still see ads on web pages, remember to disable
the "data saver" or "reduced data usage" browser option
* Check your
APN settings for any proxy, the proxy itself could be allowing ads. Disable the
proxy.
* After you
install or make any change to AdAway, you must reboot for those changes to take
effect
* Disable VPN
connection if connected
My hosts
If you want
better adblocking, stability with less false positives you can add my hosts
source in the adblocking app and disable all others or replace hosts manually

from scratch by myself and been using it daily since 2016.
