After tweaking the settings, I found that it actually blocked almost all ads in apps though some ads slipped in anyhow. Initial setup of DNS66 and Blokada worked 50-50. I also checked if it blocked app ads or not and I was kinda disappointed a bit. Firstly I noticed improvement in battery life and internet browsing was quick and websites were loading promptly. Let me first tell you what changes I noticed after setting up the ad blockers. I won’t lie but I spent couple of hours with two VPN based ad blockers, first is DNS66 and other I used was Blokada. It’s simple, clean and user friendly and blocks ads effectively without any hiccups. This VPN based ad blocker is among the most popular ad blockers and is probably the first choice of every Android user. Now let’s talk about the VPN based ad blockers. As mentioned earlier these ad blocker browsers won’t remove ads from apps because they are not meant for this. These are our top picks for browser based ad blockers for Android. This browser is perfect for those who read a lot. Basically this is not built-in feature but managed through extensions. Samsung made its browser available for every Android phone couple of years ago and it comes with a preloaded adblock feature (powered by adblock plus). Now you won’t see a single ad unit on any websites. Now search for the adblock plus or any other ad blocker you know and tap on Add to Firefox to install it in Firefox. Tap on the Options button (3 vertical dots at top right)> Ad-ons> Browse Firefox’s recommended extensions. You need to install an ad blocker ad-on in the Firefox browser itself and it is very simple. Though Firefox doesn’t have an inbuilt ad-blocking feature but is available by ad-ons. The major competition of Chrome and other browsers, Firefox is used by millions around the globe. This browser is owned by cheetahmobile which is a Chinese company, just letting you know in case you have trust issues with Chinese organizations. Apart from this other standard features are also available. Now we come to my favorite feature of this browser that is you can password protect your browsing history! Nobody will ever know your dark secrets ever. What makes it different from other browser? Well, you can set a password on the setting page so nobody can mess up with the settings. The very first and expected feature is that it comes with an inbuilt ad blocker. This browser is a dream browser for privacy lovers and is probably the best ad blocker for Android, let me glorify its features. This feature is on by default and in case you ever want to disable this feature, you can by going to browser’s homepage and tap on Opera logo at bottom right then tap on ad blocking to disable it. In our test the Opera mini browser effectively removed all types of ads giving an ad free and a high speed performance. Opera browser has been around for quite a long time now and it comes with an inbuilt ad blocker.
