How to stop google adverts on android

Are you tired of adverts ruining your browsing experience on Android? Then you are not alone. Ads are annoying. You know, I know it - and most of us would like to get rid of them.

Blocking advertisements is about more than simply avoiding irritation too. Ads are downloaded by your phone when you're browsing the web, so every time you view one it'll somewhat slow down your phone and perhaps contribute to your data cost.

Android smartphones and applications are frequently flooded with advertisements: banners, pop-ups, full-page advertising, videos, in-app purchases, and prizes, to name a few. There is also a special form of advertisement in programs that begins to appear after several days of active use, making its source impossible to identify.

Additionally, browser ads, website advertisements, pop-up advertisements, and frequent AirPush ads may be activated by normal programs or undesirable software. To stop advertisements on Android, you must first determine what produces them. Below, we'll outline many ways to remove bothersome ads and emphasize step-by-step instructions for each, including browser settings, data saver mode, and ad blocker installation.

Block ads in Chrome
If you use Chrome as a default web browser on your Android devices, it’s possible to disable ads, interstitial ads, ads with sound, pop-ups, and others in its settings.

Follow the next steps:
Open Chrome.
Tap More, then Settings.
Go to the Site Settings.
Make sure that ads and pop-ups are blocked.

Block ads on Android using ad blockers
There is a great variety of ad blockers for Android available in the Play Store, capable of blocking ads in games, apps, and even websites. They allow users to block ads without root permissions, however, it may not be 100% effective. So all you have to do is choose an ad blocker, for example, AdBlock or Free Adblocker Browser, install it, and then configure the rules if needed.

However, most ad blockers for Android intercept DNS traffic only, so they won’t be able to block  100% of unwanted ads.

Additionally, there are ways to manage advertisement appearance on a smartphone to make it less intrusive.

Minimize ads in Google account settings.

As a lot of new Android devices synchronize with Chrome desktop browser and Google account, it makes sense to turn off Ads personalization first. This method will not prevent seeing all unwanted content but at least one can opt-out of personalized Google ads that track browsing activity.

To do this:
Go to Settings in Chrome desktop browser, then tap on Manage your Google Account.
Tap Data and personalization, scroll down to Ad personalization, then choose Go to ad settings.
Move the toggle to switch off personalized ads, then select Turn off.
