Adblock Plus

Can you think in a magic world in which you could be able to navigate on the Internet or using free apps without the annoying advertising that they have? Without having any of the banners, pop-ups and other advertising elements that all the pages and apps have? Adblock Plus is the answer to your prayers. it is an app that existed before as a complement for Firefox, Chrome and Opera and that now is available to end with all the advertising in your Android device. A good sign of its effectiveness is that Google has banned it from its offer of apps in Google Play, and it is that its general diffusion could be the end of the apps that live thanks to the advertising. Because of that, to download it, you have to go directly to the author's website.

Before you continue, you have to know that alll the options for blocking advertising work in a mobile with any need to be rooted (that's to say, with the operative system that they have as defect) through Wi-Fi. If you have made a root in your mobile and, thus, you have modified the ROM of your Android device, the app Adblock Plus works at full performance with Wi-fi connection as well as through a 3G connection.

And, now we can watch the app. Which advertisings can be blocked with Adblock Plus? As default setting, the app blocks all the advertisings that are intrusive as banners, pop-ups, advertising videos in YouTube, the advertising in Facebook, etc. All the advertisings that bother you when you are doing something with your mobile will be deleted completely. It is this simple.
However, Adblock Plus takes into account that a lot of webs and apps, when still living out of the advertising, are making an effort so the advertisings in their pages do not bother users.    Because of that, this app awards the services that substitute intrusive advertising by discreet advertisings and it identifies them as 'acceptable advertisings'. However, you can also deactivate this option if you want tp block all the advertisings, no matter what.

Another huge advantage of using Adblock Plus is that you can delete all the traces that you leave when surfing in the Internet. Different companies register the activity online of users and the data that they take out of it is of huge value to a lot of the companies of advertising. To know more about the privacy on the Internet, you can read some of the articles that we have published in MilBits, like for example 'Interview to Vicenç Torra in MilBits'.

More interesting features of this app to block publicity in your Android are that, for example, you can unable the buttons of the social networks that are present in almost all the websites (from which they can also make a trace of what we do), and the one of enable    domains that are infected by. This last feature of Adblock Plus consists in block all the domains that are known because    of the propagation of malware and avoids that our Android device suffers the attack of the informatics viruses of spyware and adware.

The advertising it is not only something that bothers us, but also it consumes battery and a lot of data from our mobile and it venerates our privacy. Use this app of open source to block easily all the publicity in your mobile, but do it having into account that favorite apps and websites that offer their services in a free way may disappear if we delete completely the advertising in them, as the majority of the times, its online economic income is the advertising.
