Ad blocking app for Samsung's Android browser pulled by Google

04 February, 2016
Earlier this week, we told you about a new update to Samsung's Android web browser - Internet - that added API support for developers to build ad blocking extensions for the browser. We also told you about the Adblock Fast app, which was Samsung's launch partner for the ad-blocking feature. That app has been suddenly pulled by Google from its Play Store.

    HELP,
    my ads infested opera browser on my phone, even when I disable pic. keep loading ads pic / gif.
    reinstall don't do shi*
    need turbo mode to save my data usage but it seems ignore ALL animated pics/ads
    any advices?

      Is this "Great Experience" ad infested websites that cripple your device when trying to load? Or when the ad is a flashy autoplay video directly above the content you want to reach?
      I get that many apps and websites like this one rely on ads to support themselves but in the recent years adblock has become a necessary evil because of the above (it also adds to security because even some reputable sites host malware ads).
