adAway

adAway for Android is an application that allows you to easily block adverts by creating blacklists of hosts that display invasive and annoying ads.

Browse intrusive ads while surfing the web

Although more and more browsers like Google Chrome or Firefox are getting better and better at managing invasive ads, there is still a lot to improve in this area. That's why adblocker applications are still such popular resources on Android and downloaded by many users to get rid of pop-ups and other annoying elements.

To do this, you can download adAway and Android apps that you won't find on Google Play but whose APK is available on Malavida, ready to install on your smartphone or tablet. Although it can be installed on any device, there is one big must for the function: our phone must be rooted.

A simple and easy to use adblocker for Android

This application offers us the possibility to manage the ads individually thanks to these functions and features:

• Ability to block intrusive and annoying ads.
• Creation of whitelists for websites.
• Selection of hosts to create blacklists of websites.

Thanks to the latter, we can create an intelligent list of pages that display ads responsibly... on the one hand because you may be interested in one of these ads, and on the other hand because we all know that the sustainability of many online projects depends on revenue dependent on advertising.

We must also not forget that using an adblocker brings other benefits, such as faster loading of web content and lower data consumption, which is why it can be very useful in situations where we want to optimize our data consumption.

The app provides us with an easy way to enable and disable our ad protection. In turn, we can also use a fast and easy-to-use system to add hosts to blacklists and whitelists.

The only downside, as we said, is that if we don't have a rooted device, we won't be able to use this app. adAway just doesn't work, even though it installs without errors.

Requirements and further information:

• Requires a root device.

• Minimum operating system requirements: Android 4.1.
• Installing the app using the APK file requires enabling the "Unknown Sources" option in Settings > Applications.
