Yo check this outy,

I found myself surfing into the deepest waves of F-Droid and i've found some adversitement blocking featured application which would be useful for y'all out there

And this is some next-level s---t

And you got two options;
You can either go ahead and
Download the apk install it

That way you won't be able to update the app automatically,
Just sayin

Or download F-Droid client and install apk via F-Droid to be able to update the application automatically(If the devs ever update it ofc)

Optional

Why sould i be using Adaware?

  • It has a feature to block annoying advertisements
  • If you ever get annoyed by the pop-up notifications and it's sounds sent by an application which is not even running! (Adaware can take care of'em aLL)

All you need to do is;

You can activate notifications daily

And this one is experimental

Missunderstandings

Even if you never ever click on an advertisement, than blocking advertisements would not hurt a site or an application

  • Nope, developers are even making money by just displaying the ads...

I personally does not like advertisements most of them are annoying plus i have nothing to do with off-topic unrelated advertisements and they have nothing to do with myself, except the money...

Adaway has a host file to block hostnames, whom serves advertisement... And it is the reason behind the Reboots... Your operation system has to read it and it just can't read it during a session. You have to reboot to push your operation system to read it. That's how operation systems are coded for. It's just how it is.

If are still having advertisements

Tap on

You can surf without even having advertisements complately!

As you understood

Developers are making money even if you don't ever click on an advertisement

  • If you use Adaway, you can't help the devs and some devs are really need those bucks, the ones that deserves...

You can help them even if you have an Adaway on
