AdAway is an advanced ad blocker on Android that supports working with whitelists and blacklists. In its work, AdAway uses the Hosts file to block hosts that serve as sources of advertising, located along the path /system/etc/hosts and matching the host name with an advertisement with an IP address. The list of host files can be downloaded independently, after which it can be edited and certain sites can be added to the blacklist or whitelist.
Key features of AdAway:
- Ease of use of the application.
- The ability to automatically check for updates of advertising addresses.
- Search for non-blocking ads.
- The ability to update the database only when connected to Wi-Fi.
- Editing sources of host lists.
- The ability to add your own sources.
- The ability to manually specify the path to the hosts file.
- Access to the DNS log.
- The ability to enable the web server function.
- Availability of a software scanner with Adware advertising.
- Built-in help and hints.
Note! For the operation of the AdAway program, root user rights are required.
