ad blocker for smartphones😩

remingtonoaks

I downloaded ad blocker yesterday for my smartphone. Since then every time I hit the internet, within minutes my phone tells me that I have reached the maximum Windows allowed even though I have only opened one. The only thing that I have done different than in the past is have ad blocker... It seems that ad blocker is opening up multi Windows on my telephone. plus I have not seen a reduction in ads with it anyway...[V][V]

Guess I will uninstall ad blocker

You get what you pay for.

I don't know what you installed or what phone/browser you are running, good sir. But if it's Firefox on Android, you need uBlock Origin.

FIREFOX uBlocker and ABP works most excellent.

I'm still getting just as many ads With It Rocky. I guess it's really not that big of a bother to me.

But I do appreciate the lead nevertheless...

I use "naked browser" no problems. Sure, it lacks some of the fancy features, but it works good, and quick.

I also have my phone rooted and most of the google crap removed and auto spyware removed.

There's something wrong if you're getting ads with uBlock. Sometimes, it takes a few seconds to fully load when I open Firefox, but as soon as it does, I get nada, anywhere.

Maybe that's the problem Rocky, I'm used to instant gratification where I snap my fingers and it happens...

I'll give it a try for a couple days then I'll let you know if it's working for me.

Thanks again buddy, I appreciate your help.

Just a thought, and probably unnecessary. But after you downloaded, did you go to your Firefox Add-Ins list and Enable it? Or check there to see that it Enabled automatically?
