Overview

AdAway blocks ads system-wide by redirecting known ad domains to localhost via the hosts file. It works across all apps and browsers, not just a single browser extension.

A root mode gives full system-wide blocking, while a VPN mode works without root. The hosts sources are community maintained and regularly updated.
