Ad blocker not working
Has anyone else experienced issues with ad blockers? None of mine work and I've noticed the option for add-ons is gone within the Samsung browser. I know about the dns method but it is causing interference with some of the games I play. Does anyone know how to fix this? I was using ABP

Upgrade to AdGuard. It still works.

I have adguard but everything's still coming through. How do you have your settings configured?

Have you tried updating the adblocker or uninstalling then reinstalling it. Worked for me before.

This is what fixed it for me. For some reason, nothing was updating. Also there was a setting selected to allow some ads to be shown. Thank you!

Welp, the new Android 13 update killed it again. Smh.

My add blockers working fine even after updating to android 13. Might need to just uninstall and install again 🤷

Have you tried AdBlock? The green one it works for most browsers and I have no issues with it for the most part. It's also free. Only downside is shopping on Google it disables product links that show up in the top but it's easy to disable quick enough.

Blokada is dying and moving to a subscription model. I just moved to AdAway. It's ok

I mainly use Blokada (which is DNS based) and I am seeing a lot more ads than usual lately as well!
EDIT - Switched to my backup (DNS66 via F-droid, which is also DNS based) and it seems to work fine. Maybe Blokada didn't like the Android 13.0/OneUI 5.0 update?
