This app has overall been great but since recent updates, I'm running into a lot of problems on YouTube, the main reason I use it. Issues going full screen (a quarter of the image will get stuck in a corner), videos simply not starting despite reloading the page multiple times, videos randomly freezing while audio continues. The only way I've managed to fix any of these has been to totally close out of the app. I still intend to use it but these functioning issues have been really frustrating.
Honestly this app has been good to me as it gets rid of most if not all adds. Though when I got it updated recently, suddenly YouTube videos stopped working as they should where only the sound works and not the video. Was a tad bit frustrating to say the least. I tried restarting the browser and still the same problem and I have no idea why?
you can get a better review once you bring back/fix the most visited card. all the quick buttons that go straight to the sites most visited have disappeared ever since one of your new updates. it was absolutely pointless to remove that feature. and going into the settings and turning the feature on and off again does absolutely nothing. it's either glitched or has been completely removed, yet the option of it is still in settings. go back to the old home page UI.
Blocks adds well. Was my favorite internet browser, but the last update made some awful changes. YouTube no longer plays videos correctly and the bookmark section lost features and became inconvenient. After pressing the button for bookmarks, I now have to press a second (sometimes unresponsive) button to "show all bookmarks" so that I can access more than 7 bookmarks. Minor, but really shows a lack of thought.
You're the answer that I need! I've finally get rid of that annoying "android cleaner popup" that keeps showing up regardless if you click X, click cancel, whatever buttons it would render that page useless, even after you download their software, it keeps showing up. Even if i use different browsers and enable their adblocker. For the record, im pretty amazed with this FAB Adblocker browser. Kudos!
This app was awesome, 5 stars awesome! After I updated it 5 days ago. My video tabs disappeared and now I have a bunch of individual tabs displayed down the page. Also,all my videos are displaying horizontal lines now. I wish I could revert back to the older version. I don't understand what happened Very disappointed.
Latest update is just terrible. Used this browser for possibly 4 years at this point and I feel like it's constantly getting worse. Latest update changes and removes good features, and became way more buggy. Some websites fail to render properly with image thumbnails being blurry or videos not playing correctly. Pop up blocked notifications also now no longer remember which sites you're okay with, making it extremely annoying. Revert to version 80.
The recent updates have made this app pretty frustrating to use. 1. Opening the app from the background clears my previously opened tabs and starts me on a blank page with a new tab. I want to refer to my saved tabs, please! 2. Previous dark mode was better. Now the dark mode does something weird on some pages where the background is white, but the text is a light colour as well, making it unreadable. Also, so images have been color corrected for dark mode where the colors are inversed?? Why??
Absolutely love this browser, have used it for many years and recommend it to anyone that'll listen. Updated my browser recently for first time in a long time and noticed some changes to the home screen that are definitely going to be marmite options for users! The key for me is that my list of bookmarks keep minimising and only displaying the first 8, whereas before it'd list them all. It'd be great if it would remember my display preference so I don't need to expand the list every time.
Okay so this Browser is honestly quite very good but I came across a problem that quite ruin my experience. The browser is now stuck on a green color on sites that aren't supposed to be green and it honestly just irritates. Isn't there a way to fix it or am I stuck to this forever? For the time being, I'll give this a 4 star except of 5 until this bug is fixed. Although it really deserve a 5 Edit: So clearing the cache seems to have solved the problem so this app is an easy 5 stars, I recommend
Since the update there has been bugs in the app, there is a delay when the app first starts to the time the search bar appears and at times the screen stays dark when u put a video in full screen. Ive also noticed it doesn't block ads as good on other sites as well as youtube. Ive tried reinstalling the app but that doesn't fix it. The vpn function is useless still shows my location.
Could not import chrome favorites so i cancelled my premium subscription. I spent over an hour trying to find proper instructions on how to do it but all of them were outdated and did not work for me. App should automatically ask if you want to import favs. I have Galaxy tab 8 Ultra. I will stick with free version for occasional use. It does work well for blocking adds though. Thank to the company for reaching out with an answer, updated review from 1 to 3 stars. Looking forward to the option to import favourites. Respect!
Used this on every phone I've had since it came out and havent needed anything else except the odd update. So if you start seeing ads sneak thru. Check it's up to date or click 'report problem'. As for it asking if I wanna bookmark every page, It doesnt do that anymore, not since I recently updated it.
99 percent of the time this is the best ad blocker I've ever used but as of late there seems to be a bug involving all my tabs disappearing until I reset the app about 6 times. Besides that the most used sites option returning and the "blocked pop up" notification disappearing faster is all I could ask for.
I love this app! It allows me to play YouTube videos with the screen off, and blocks ads really well. Occasionally the play-with-screen-off feature stops working, and I have assumed that it was due to an app or device update. However, today when it stopped working, I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and then restarted my device. Now the feature is working perfectly!
Better than I expected. I have been using this app on Windows for a couple of years now and haven't seen any ads in all that time. Let's face it Android was coded to supply as many ads as was possible so I was dubious whether it was possible to do the same on the tablet. On YouTube, which luckily is about 80% of this tabs browsing, I haven't seen an ad since I installed it, excellent. I do let through a few ads occasionally, that's only fair. Net browsing is good. Really glad I have this app.
Edit: The Adblocker Browser basically made my phone crash. Samsung S20 FE and it caused an issue where the app could not be exited or closed. Every option I had to close it would not work. For a small moment I wasn't even able to restart or shut my phone. I eventually was able to but that just makes me give up on this browser. I really loved it for a long time but now some of the issues have gone out of control and is becoming seriously concerning. Thank you though for giving my Youtube ad-free
I have used this for ages without problem. Very useful for youtube so you don't have to suffer through the endless, pointless adverts every five minutes. However, I have been having a problem today with YouTube not playing videos anymore. Not sure if YouTube have got wise to it and found another way to ruin the adfree experience. It's a shame I hope this is fixed soon as this is 90% of what I use this app for.
the browser works really well, but the reason I use it is to watch anime on 9anime.to website. and everytime (on Fullscreen, videoVard server) I try to click on a video control option, the "pop up blocked" message blocks me from accessing them, which is insanely annoying, as much the actual pop up. Hope you guys rework that pop up message. Even transparent will help too
This app is a godsend. YouTube ads are way overkill now and that's mostly because they want to force people to pay for Premium. These guys made an app that lets you watch with no ads for free. Also, yes, you can listen to videos with the screen off. All you do is play a video, set it to full screen, press your home button to go picture in picture, then allow your screen timeout to occur. You can't do it by simply hitting the power button. But this method does work.
Absolutely dislike the new update! Please revert back to original tab selection UI, grid layout is horrible. Please return the bookmark star button on the top left. App will not open certain tabs on websites that I regularly use like my scheduling website for work. Idk what else was changed but those are what I noticed so far. I had to revert back to an older version. Luckily I had an older version saved. 2 stars becasue I have loved this app for years until the most recent version.
It has dark modes, every website, no ads, no search history (which is convenient for me if u get what i am saying) and many more amazing features. I also use this to make scene packs from Stranger Things, but cannot film on Netflix, so I use a website. But this website has many (inappropriate) ads and they finally stopped!
A heap of unasked and unwanted options were activated automatically in the latest build. I have a high preference of not tracking my location, but somehow an automatically activated feature shows me the weather in my location? No clearly visible way to turn it off or opt out. The new automatic tabgrouping when you try to open a link in a new tab for future browsing, also has no on/off and it makes browsing way more awkward with unnecessary extra steps.
I have been using this app for a long time now, but since the recent update a few days ago anything that plays / shows a video (especially YouTube) only had audio and shows a black screen where the video should be. I tried clearing cache and app data but it still remains (edit, this black screen happens 9 our of 10 times, once in a while a video will work, if I refresh the working page it will go back to black screen with only audio)
Amazing app, it's the only browser I use. I would have given it five stars but the last update changed the way tabs grouping works and I'm not really a fan of the way it turned out. Regardless it's an amazing app that blocks all ads and I've never had a problem with!
Nice to watch Youtube and music.youtube without commercials but... it seems to take forever for any video to start or music to play, facebook takes an eternity to open. Youtube will skip to low resolution and stop every 20 or so seconds. "Stats for nerds" shows drops in network activity regardless of good connection speed. Am I the only one to experience that? I feel that it is faster to use Chrome or the Youtube apps wait for the "Skip commercial" note and click on it to watch videos.
Probably the best app to use if you're trying to just scroll on your favorite website and those stubborn ads keep popping up on your mobile screen. (I'm looking at you fan wiki pages). Typically I would switch to the desktop mode on my Google Chrome browser but using this browser actually makes all of the websites readable now which is amazing. I also use this to read comics and watch anime ad free without the 5100 ads I get for just clicking a single red x
Used to work great, but since your most recent upgrade the app crashes every time I try to start it, making it totally unusable on my device. *** Did an uninstall/reinstall right after posting initial review. Seems to be working again. I suppose clearing cache would have been less drastic
Only one niggle. Great app, blocks pop ups etc but everytime you open a page it brings up a box for you to bookmark the page. This gets really annoying going back and forth between pages. Please disable this feature. Edit: since new update may 22. Lots of my most used sites have disappeared. I can't scroll through my bookmarks without opening the bookmark section. Why change it? It wasn't broken. Now time to delete
Was an absolutely amazing app once I first downloaded it. Now all of a sudden occasionally when I'm watching a YouTube video, the video bugs out and is absolutely impossible to watch. the screen is just glitchy and bugged and the issue is really starting to get on my nerves and I'm almost at my limit. This is also the only app I'm having this problem with. Please fix this or else I'll be forced to find a replacement.
