There are inconspicuous system-wide "ad blockers" for Android in the play store that don't need root

Posted: 13 Dec 2016 10:14 AM PST

There are some DNS which won't resolve ad serving domains. Every time a website or an app requests a domain serving ads, the DNS sends back a null response. Using a DNS like this, an app or a browser won't be able to resolve most of the ads it tries to resolve, leaving you ad free. There are many services like this. One of them is AdGuard DNS.

The problem is that Android does not currently provide a mean to change the DNS of the cellular connection. This is where the inconspicuous "ad blockers" come into play: DNS changers. There are many in the play store. I use Pepe DNS Changer (free, no ads and very small).

The advantages of this method is that the apps are not banned as they are not ad blockers and that your phone does not consume any extra battery as there is no app scanning for ads in all the websites you browse.

TL;DR: Download a DNS changer app from the play store, like Pepe DNS Changer, and configure it to use an ad-blocking DNS, like AdGuard DNS 176.103.130.130 / 176.103.130.131 (https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html).

Disclaimer: I am kind of promoting this Pepe DNS Changer free app and AdGuard DNS but I don't have any stake in them apart from knowing the devs of the app. I think this does not invalidate the tip. Feel free to suggest any other similar alternative in the comments.

It's reddit actively trying to kill off Android apps like "Reddit is Fun"? I'm seeing frequent API outages for third-party apps while the official reddit app loads data just fine.
