Android - Samsung Internet Browser

Note: On Android, Adblock Plus only works with the Samsung Internet browser. Ads cannot be blocked in other browsers or in apps such as YouTube, games, or social media.

Android - Adblock Browser

Adblock Browser is our own web browser with ad blocking built in, so there’s no need to install a separate ad blocker.

  1. Find AdBlock Browser in your Google Play Store and tap the Install button.
  2. Open Adblock Browser.
  3. Follow the prompts.

For guidance on using Adblock Browser, visit the Adblock Browser Help Center.

 

Note: Due to technical limitations on mobile devices it's not possible to consistently block ads in YouTube videos on iOS and Android. Additionally, the Premium features are not supported on Android devices at this time (but we hope to offer this in the future).
