Block All Ads From Your Android Device Without Using Any Adblocker by alaroyeibadan(m): 1:47pm On Jul 01, 2016
Nowadays almost everyone is using Android OS. I also use android and love the OS. Since Its powered by Linux kernel and I love Linux than any other operating system. There are millions of apps & games available for android. But the problem is advertisements.

They are annoying, data consuming and most often explicit. So many of the android users usesAd blockerwhich blocks the advertisements but eats up the RAM and slows down your phone.

So, Today I’m here with an alternative way of blockingall kind of adsfrom your android phone. Please note, You need a rooted android device to apply this method.

Steps
1. Download the hostsfile by clicking here.
2.Please note the file name is justhostsnot hosts.txt or something like that.
3.Now copy and replace the file insystem/etcvia a Root File explorer. See screenshot below:
4.If replacing doesn’t works then delete the oldhostsfile first and then copy thehostsfile you have downloaded.
5.Now reboot your device, and Its done!

Conclusion
This method is tested by me and working fine on my Kitkat 4.4.2. This will block all kinds of ads from websites, apps, games and everywhere! Please be careful while you are working withsystem/etcfolder
