How to Block Ads on Android Apps, Games and Browser?

There is one old and working method in windows operating system to block ads in internet. Here we use the same trick in android mobile too. That is hosts file trick.

1. We collect some websites which shows ads on android apps, games and kept them in one text file. First you need to download this file.

• Download Hosts file

2. Now you must change the file name to hosts, because it doesn’t work if you use any other name except hosts.

3. After changing file name you need to transfer that file to android system folder. In system folder navigate to /etc folder and paste this hosts file which have bunch of websites which shows ads on android apps, games.

4. Here you need to made one other change that is rename hosts file into hosts.bak because there is already one hosts file available in that directory.



5. Alternatively you can copy all websites from hosts file and paste them into your mobile system hosts file which is located on /system/etc folder.



6. To paste hosts file you need to have administrative rights, if the above trick doesn’t work then you need to root your android mobile.

7. After completing all above steps just restart your mobile and see ads are blocked or not. Most of the ads are removed with this trick but it needs some more improvements. We will add some more websites in future to this list.
