Freedom!
Adblock is making a Browser that blocks ads. Ok, nothing really new, the more so as this is a Firefox based browser. You can also install Firefox and then the Adblock addon. The Adblock browser is not yet available in the Play Store but you can get it from here: Adblock Browser for Android Beta - Community - Google
Since I already have my favorite browsers, Javelin 3.2.6 and Firefox, installed, I am not going to check this one out now, but, however, I am sure that there are some people interested in it.
The big disadvantage of Firefox for Android is that it is slow and likes to crash on cheap devices. On the other hand it is open to the addons of the PC version and thus you can increase its functionality like with no other browser.
But if you really like a fast browser that can block ads you can try out the Javelin browser in the Play Store. I only recommend the older version that I use for certain reasons you will discover if you compare. Of course this version is not available in the Play Store anymore, but I still do have it and you can get it from here:
File-Upload.net - Javelin 3.2.6.apk
It features (No C&P, I am using it for a while now):
- Nice modern design (not available in newer versions)
- Tabs like that ones on a PC browser (not available in newer versions, that feature the classic tab list of all the android browsers)
- Reading mode that creates an eye-friendly e-book like reading experience of websites
- Various gestures
- Ads can be blocked
- Images can be blocked (not available in newer versions)
- VPN (not free)
- If your connection exceeded the data limit and is very slow, turn off images and the browser loads pages so quickly that you might think your connection is not throttled
- An option to disable Google´s analytic measures
- If you have Softkeys on your Display, Javelin can use that space nevertheless without interrupting their functionality (With Firefox e.g. this space is unused and black). Check out the settings if you have trouble.
- Slightly disturbing image on the preset default homepage: You are going to change it. I changed it to google.
