chrome for android

specifically galaxy s6 starting to use chrome way more - which adblocker do you all use with chrome? and/ or recommend another browser with ad blocker combo that works well. not rooted (thanks) rec's please

Re: chrome for android Google has clamped down pretty hard on adblockers which is why there aren't any real non-rooted options out there. They even started removing apps from the app store so many of them listed there are not as useful (granted I haven't tried any in some time now). But you can still give the legendary ABP a go and see if it works out for you https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.browser

Re: chrome for android I just read that if you use Firefox for Android you can install uBlock Origin which is the adblocker I use on desktop.

Re: chrome for android firefox for android is a major ram hog tho? (just from people comments?)

Re: chrome for android Anyone tried Brave ??

Re: chrome for android this thread is a coupla years old. yes I use brave. its what ive used eve since this thread went no where. Brave has an in-bulit adblocker which is fantastic. big down side is that it has no 'go back' button. (it was hard to get used to initially - now i dont notice as much) but the history button is easy to use but you can bookmark same as always not perfect - but my 'go to' for some time now lmk if you find something better!

Re: chrome for android I can't seem to get the add blocker to work I have a back button Ok just tried again and the adds are blocked It is so fast. !!

Re: chrome for android Hi D, hope you are well. I just found out that brave was not auto updating for me. (it started to crash unexpectedly and often) I had to copy bookmarks, then uninstall, reinstall and it. Now its hunky dory again. (altho they changed all the features to the bottom) Just FYI

Just saw this ! Keep downloading Brave but end up junking again . It keeps doing things I don't want done And I'm not sure I believe some of their claims. Don't ask me now what they were. I only remember after I have downloaded it I may have to give it a try. I have an iMac , a Macbook air and a Macbook Pro they are all 2011 but all quite healthy . Sierra is really as far as I can go without losing some functionality. Point being Apple aren't supporting iTunes or Safari past here So need a new browser. And desperately need an iTunes alternative. !! I have 417gb stored on that steaming heap that is iTunes. There has got to be a better way
