The Adblock browser is based on the open source Firefox browser and can be installed really easily. However, I want you to know from the start that this is a beta test and not finished software, so you can chose to wait for the final one. If you want to enjoy it now, follow these steps:

  3. Second, go to https://goo.gl/1lcVYJ or click the Beta Opt-In link on the community page;
  4. Then, you must choose “Become a Tester”;
  5. Next, download the beta version of the browser from Google Play;
  6. You should know that it might take an hour to update (or even more) so if you haven’t got the update yet, be as patient as you can be.

Block Ads on Android devices with Adblock Plus:

This is one of the most popular desktop browser extensions to block the ads from websites, but Google has discontinued it from the market due to the fact that it interfered with other apps which eventually discouraged many developers for cutting their income. However, developers have got their own browser which has a full pledged Adblock Plus integration, letting us enjoy something really special.

Adblock Plus browser can actually be seen as a revamped Firefox browser for Android with the Adblock plugin integrated with full functionality, excepting that the support for third party extensions and Firefox Sync features are disabled.
