I think it's working now, on default browser at least.

For the start tab, enable all 3

For the host tab, enable both options and deny all host files.

For the app tab, enable 'show system apps' , click on the settings icon and select 'no apps'.

For the end tab, leave it all unchecked.

Then click on the refresh button at the top right, and then start the app.

Gsmarena normally displays ad at the beginning and end of articles. It's gone now. Same thing with trackit site




Works for Firefox and Chrome but doesn't block adverts for all d apps

Yes. But you don't really need it for Firefox, just chrome and other browsers without proper adblock. Only my social media apps and utility apps (like adm and utorrent) are allowed to access the Internet. That way, I get to minimize the ads

Yeah I just noticed it. Running Android 5.1

This is Sept 2017, I can't recommend any device running less than Android 6.0 especially if you will be spending >33K. Just my opinion.

Oh well, that's for the OS. I think other features should be in sink with the price.

No it doesn't have inbuilt ad blocker. But it supports ad block extension, just like we have in most desktop browsers. You do that under settings and you're good to go. The best extensions are ublock origin and adblock plus.

Alternatively, just download adblock browser. It has inbuilt adblock. It has a similar interface as Firefox .

Firefox focus by Mozilla does a similar job, but the last time I used it, you can't bookmark pages.

Yes. It's premised on online anonymity. I think I even prefer it over Tor that requires one to download a collateral app for it to work.

Yes. Coupled with the fact that Tor slows down your browsing

I'm a heavy user o, I mean if I'm not playing games, I'm watching movies or browsing. But I have not checked my SOT , I only check the battery percentage used per hour whilst using the phone. For movies about 23 hours, for demanding games like NBA 2k17 it lasts about 10 hours, but for less demanding games it will last longer, and when browsing on 3G it uses 4% an hour. Another thing is that the battery strength seems to be consistent at every stage unlike my former phone which appears to last longer from 100-50% than from 50-0%. But I can assure you that you will not complain about battery on this device plus the device doesn't heat up at all

Mi max 2 would have been the perfect device for me if it had like 5.7 - 6” display. 6.4" is kinda too big. I get the feeling it would be difficult to fit into a pocket...one thing I envy so much about the phone though it's battery life
