Ad blocker for android??

Hi, first time android user here. All that pop ups are driving me nuts. Any recommendations regarding an app or download to remedy this? Got the regular "ad block", but it doesn't really work...

I use the adblock plus with chrome. Seems to work ok but only on wifi. Had to change some proxy setting in my network settings to get it to work. Maybe it works on normal mobile networks too but I haven't tried it yet

You'll need to have your device rooted but

http://adfree.bigtincan.com

removes about 90% of ads.

Slunk

AdAway. Needs to be rootedthough

If you don't want to root, UC browser comes with an ad blocker add on installed that works flawlessly. Great browser in general too.

Just google "how to root<insert your phone model here>".
It just gives you admin permission so you can use apps that change settings you wouldn't normally be able to change. It's usually easy to do and it won't make any difference to your user experience of the phone.

Best resource is the XDA Developers forums.

Type your device name in the top right.
