Android is the most popular operating system for smartphones. In the last few years, it has occupied 86% of the global smartphone market. The vast user base on the Android platform has also attracted various app developers, resulting in thousands of free apps on the Google Play Store, most of which display advertisements to generate revenue for their developers.
Advertisements help developers support and earn a living. Well-optimized advertising always helps increase conversions and improves the usability of the application itself. However, incorrect placement and over-optimization of advertising is too intrusive and irritates many people, as it interferes with the normal user experience. Some Chinese manufacturers, unsurprisingly, also place advertising banners in their applications to generate income. Xiaomi is a perfect example of such a manufacturer that follows the same tactics for its own benefit.
There are also many other ways in which developers introduce unnecessary ads and degrade the overall user experience, and this is perhaps the only reason that forces users to resort to various methods to block them. However, some developers offer a paid version of their applications without ads, but still many users prefer the free version.
There are many ways to remove system-wide ads on Android, but most of them require root access. Those who offer lock without root are either ineffective or drain your battery a lot. If you have been looking for an effective and uncomplicated way to block annoying ads for a long time, we will make your task easier, as in this article we will tell you about an application that allows you to completely block ads on your smartphone. It even gives you the ability to turn ads on or off within individual apps.
DNS66 is an Android app developed by Julian Klode that blocks ads at the DNS level. This is effective as it does not slow down your device. DNS66 is better than any other VPN-based ad blocker and is significantly more efficient since it doesn't drain your battery. The new app even saves your internet traffic. However, there are many similar applications such as Netguard, AdGuard, No root ad-blocker and others. Unlike its competitors, Julian Claude's ad blocker is open source and free.
Note: We at AndroidInsider do not support ad blocking as it is the only source of income for publishers and developers. Users should show respect to the developers and publishers who work to provide them with useful information and entertainment.
What is necessary:
- Device based on Android 5.0 or higher
- Authorize your smartphone to install applications from “unknown sources”
Blocking system-wide ads on Android
Follow the steps below to get rid of annoying ads on your smartphone without root.
- Allow your smartphone to install applications from third-party sources by turning on the “Unknown sources” option. To do this, you need to go to Settings > Security > Unknown Sources and then enable it.
- Download the APK from the link above and install it on your smartphone.
- Once the installation is complete, launch the application and a manual will open to walk you through the features. The start screen will allow you to select the Automatically start on boot . Note: The DNS66 application will initially impact your battery levels, but once it is fully operational with optimal settings, there will be no significant battery drain.
- The user can easily filter and block specific advertisements. The application contains a Hosts , which allows you to filter advertising sources. There you can turn on and off the display of advertising from certain providers.
- After updating the hosts tab, you will receive a complete list of providers that advertise on your device. You can deny or allow access to each host.
- Once you're done selecting hosts, head back to the main app screen.
- From the main page in the app interface, the user can quickly initiate a VPN connection to enable ad blocking by clicking the Launch .
- The DNS66 app also has the ability to bypass the selected app to serve ads. Sometimes this is a necessary feature so that the user can enable advertisements in applications where they do not affect their user experience.
- You can easily enable or disable the application directly from the notification panel. The app will show a small dongle icon in the notification bar while the service is active.
This is the most logical and effective way to block ads on Android OS.

Adguard
is an Internet filter for mobile devices that protects you from advertising, malicious and phishing sites, and online tracking in a web browser when browsing the Internet on a smartphone or tablet.
Adguard
designed to block absolutely all types of online advertising, speed up the loading of web pages, save mobile traffic and protect your device from possible online threats.
Adguard
filters only web browsers, without affecting the operation of other applications installed on your device. The application uses a unique technology for filtering the traffic of your smartphone/tablet, which does not require ROOT rights.
The speed of filtering will not depend on the operation of the VPN server, since it is hosted directly on your Android device.
Main features:
• Anti-banner completely removes all advertising elements from web pages, including video advertising. • Anti-phishing protects your device from possible threats by scanning all downloaded web pages and apk files. • Two filtering modes: local VPN mode or local HTTP proxy mode. The first one does not require ROOT rights and the VPN server is located on your own device, so for filtering you do not have to pass your traffic through a remote server. The second one is only recommended if you are using a rooted device or if you want to use Adguard along with some kind of VPN. • Anti-tracking. Protection from tracking your online activities. • Ad blocking in applications. • Filter social network widgets. Social widgets (Like, Like, Class and others buttons) will be removed if the corresponding filter is activated. • Convenient and intuitive interface. Simple interface and convenient application management. • Advertising filters for sites in different languages. Adguard for Android is able to block ads in different languages: Russian, English, German, Dutch, Japanese, Spanish and Portuguese.
Premium features:
1. Web protection against online threats: blocking malicious and phishing sites. 2. Improved ad blocking. Maximum filtration quality. 3. Premium technical support.
