Android Plus is the famous ad blocker for mobile device's browser that can be installed on any Android OS phones.

How to set Ad Block Plus on Android?

In the past we can download Adblock Plus directly from Google Play Store. But now Google had taken down the app for a reason. Luckily I found a way that I consider easy to install and configure this handy app on your Android phone or tablet

Note.

Root is needed however.

If you use Android 3.1 or newer, or your device supports the manual proxy configuration, then you don't need to root your device. However you can check whether your device is rooted or not, but it's not yet rooted then you are going to need to root it first.

Enable Unknown Sources mode first.

1. On your Android, enter the Settings.
2. Open the Applications or Security, depends on your device's model.
3. Choose Device Administration tab or similar settings and then check the Unknown Sources.
