About this app

Why not try our next generation content blocker?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.plusnow.blocker

This application only runs on web browser
AdShield is an ad blocker & dns changer which supports WIFI, mobile connections, IPv4 and IPv6, that runs on your android phone & tablet. With advance interception technology, AdShield enables you to have an ad free web experience to see more of the content that you want. AdShield can blocks ads, banners, adult websites and more. It can also prevent advertisers from tracking your behavior and saves battery as well as data plan.

AdShield blocks ads on almost all browser, literally. You don't need to change your favorite browser to so-call "ad-blocker browser" for ad blocking. This application runs on almost all your favorite browser (include Chrome). *AdShield is not an antivirus app!

🧩The most compatible ad blocker on the market
• DNS-based interception (VPN mode) for most modern browsers (Chrome etc.)
• Rule-based interception(Enhanced Browsing) specially for Yandex Browser

Can I use another VPN application while using AdShield?
Partially yes. In this case, due to system limitation, you can only use Yandex Browser with AdShield extension (Enhanced Browsing) if you wish to continuous to use AdShield while you're using another VPN application.

Enhanced Browsing****
With our Enhanced Browsing extension, your browser can block more ads faultlessly: pre-roll video ads, pop-up ads, etc. (To fully block ads, you'll need Yandex Browser with AdShield's Enhanced Browsing feature.)

Please note:
If you are using Chrome or Chromium-like browser(browser with data compression):
• Disable browser compression (data saver, optional for Chrome)
• Type in chrome://flags search for async DNS resolver (#enable-async-dns) and choose disabled in the drop down menu (skip for Chrome 89 or newer version).
Otherwise chrome could bypass AdShield which blocks nothing.
For video-site, you will need Yandex Browser with AdShield extension(Enhanced Browsing) to watch ad-free video.
If you are experiencing strange problems, please try to reinstall AdShield.

AdShield is NOT a VPN proxy which connects to remote servers that can masks your IP address. Your IP address will still the same when AdShield is activated.
We use VPN that connects to AdShield itself to identify ads and other unwanted contents. All interception is processed locally. VPN here is just a solution which allows AdShield perform block ads device-widely without root privilege. IT IS NOT A PROXY.*****

* AdShield only blocks ads inside web browser, compatible with most browsers
** As it only intercepts DNS traffic it is a fairly lightweight solution and does not seem to have any measurable effect on the battery life.
*** AdShield cannot block 100% unwanted content.
**** This feature currently support Yandex browser
***** AdShield can't help you hide your IP address, if you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself.

Works as described. Really good for blocking flashing ads that distract from reading web pages. There are still some ads, but they're not intrusive nor stuck randomly in the middle of the page. I read a lot of Chinese language books and they have prolific ads that are very distracting. AdShield works as described and has improved from my initial use from less than one year ago. Doesn't take up a lot of RAM and works silently in the background as any good software should do.

Works about 90% of the time. When working proper, very few sites will have ads. You got to follow the directions to make it work for Chrome. Also, it appears if Chrome needs an update, it disables Ad Block. The customer service was quick with a response, even on a Sunday. Would recommend* *please note this blocks pop up ads, video ads that appear at the bottom of the screen, and ads found on pages. It will not block ads from Youtube (the ones embedded in videos). Same with Facebook.

First of all, it is a paid app. But still many ads in different websites like YouTube and softwares like mx player. I used adguard for free which was very successful. I thought, ad shield would be the best of all as it is a completely paid app. But Alas!!, I'm so unfortunate. It fails It's mission. Adguard still powerful and much better option than adshield. Adshield is an useless purchase for sure.
