ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com)
JoeyRox writes: Starting in 2016 Asus will ship all phones and tablets with AdBlock Plus integrated into their mobile browser. The ad-blocking software will not only be pre-installed but enabled by default as well. The move to include ad-blocking software on mobile devices is significant because unlike desktop users the percentage of mobile users presently employing ad-blocking software is very low at approximately 2%.
The sorts of politically incorrect software that Asian electronics companies can ship is sometimes funny. I'm sure there are a few smaller vendors that even ship a Torrent app with the explanation being up front "the customer wants to download pirated movies". I love it.
Baking in an adblocker will certainly raise eyebrows in Google and other big advertising syndicates.
This is an interesting move.
Will others follow suit and a crisis in online advertising ensue?
Or will ABP leverage this to extract gobs of cash from the ad industry to allow a lot of ads through, rendering it relatively useless?
I shall remain behind my DNS-based ad blocking here at home and watch with interest.
On a side note, some YouTube ads are sneaking through on a mobile device. Anyone know what domain(s) they're being served from? It's a fairly recent phenomenon; something's changed on their end it seems.
It blocks all the crap without any automatic whitelisting.
It's starting to feel a bit like the end of an era for the advertising-based business model for the web. Almost everybody I know now uses an adblocker on their desktop/laptop PC. My employer recently switched on adblocking-by-default on our office PCs, due to concerns over the number of malware-spreading adverts. Meanwhile, adverts while mobile browsing have become so disruptive (it's virtually impossible now to browse certain websites on an iPhone) that I'm strongly considering adblocking on my phone as well.
The web-advertising industry is on the verge of suicide. Few people had a problem with the static banner ads and most tolerated the animated .gifs, but the video-ads were a further intrusion and, for many people (self included), the auto-playing video-ads were the tipping point. The increasing prevalence of ads as a means of pushing malware and the failure of the advertising networks to screen them out seems to have been the tipping point for a lot of Government and corporate networks as well.
So the question is, what comes next and what does it mean? The strangulation of advertising income is going to fundamentally change the way a lot of sites operate. The pace at which newspapers and magazines are paywalling formerly free content is accelerating. In other cases, the content is free but subscription plans are available for an enhanced service, or even required if users want to leave comments or participate in forums. Are we moving towards a world in which only sites with a product to sell and small-scale operations will be free to browse?
If so, there might be upsides as well as downsides. One product of the advertising model has been the clickbait-culture. That's not just about "10 shocking things you won't believe" and "this one neat trick" headlines, it's also about deliberately provocative content. Stories which get people riled up are great business, if your business model is based on page-views and ad-views. Give people an interesting article that they enjoy reading and they will view the page once then move on. Give them something that makes them angry and they will leave an angry comment, then refresh the page 30 times over the course of the day to argue with other people leaving angry comments. Just look at the stories on Slashdot which get the highest number of comments...
Slashdot is a long way from the worst offender (even though, in the DICE-era, it undoubtedly is an offender). The advertising web model has turned the angry fringe voices, whether the ultra-conservative demagogues of the right, or the "ban everything I don't like" Angry Campus Narcissists of the left into a profitable business model and in doing so has arguably coarsened public debate and poisoned the wider political sphere.
So maybe the death of the advertising model and the move to a subscription-based web might be a good thing.
They should use an adblocker that really blocks ads, with no whitelists. The only acceptable ad is a blocked ad!
Serious question... Anybody got adblocking to work on WP8? I love my lumia but this one deficiency makes it near impossible to surf the web...
The APK guy's a bit late today.
The new competition is between brokers - ad "blockers" are used NOT to block all ads, but to block the ads of competing broker networks. This is why Adblock Plus was chosen: it isn't an ad blocker, but an ad broker-broker, the product of a company which requires a fee to be paid to let your network's ads through.
Oh, and before apk appears: your HOSTS solution is useless because I can't use it to block the advertising for your product that you spam over this site.
If it defaults to not allowing them, this could be a good thing. Otherwise uBlock would be the better choice.
Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.
That's the obvious question. By installing ad blocking software by default they're creating a market (for themselves) where advertisers pay Asus to get their domain white listed and thus their ads allowed.
Works 99.999% of the time. And turn off images. Works 100% of the time. They don't call me Big Rubber for nothing.
But your phone has to be rooted to use it. Adaway can be downloaded from D-froid [ http://f-droid.org/ ]. Each known ad web url is redirected to 127.0.0.1, really rocks :)
It will also have a custom whitelist that will allow ads approved by ASUS, so their "partners and affiliates" will still be able to bombard you with ads. Of course, ASUS will collect a fee for the privilege.
There is no such thing as corporate altruism, folks.
Don't poke the bear!
Let's just pretend that no one is using AdBlock instead of essentially *forcing* people to use it.
That way they won't try to find ways around AdBlock (I hope).
Its really great step from the user's point of view. Ads really irritates and after removing it, the user can freely access whatever they want. Basically they will enjoy to work on ASUS.
Not with AdBlock but with Ads
The first is that since they started Ads have gotten bigger, flashier and just generally obnoxious over the years which has caused people in general to start taking measures to actively avoid them. I sure as hell don't want or need to see a 2+min movie that takes up half my screen and PURPOSEFULLY blocks its own close button by pushing it up out of the frame. Forcing you to sit there and listen to whatever, every other time you click on an article on the same #$^!#$^ site. Something relatively small and unobtrusive I'm fine with, hell if it looks interesting I might even..... click on it.....
The second is that since every website and their dog, outsources to third party ad companies instead of handling things more in house. What you have seen is that more and more ad. There used to be a time when being a trusted site meant you could let your guard down to some degree and give them a bit more leeway. However since sites have taken to outsourcing and cross linking to everything under the sun, you just can't trust them anymore. I mean hell it wasn't too terribly long ago that YAHOO was serving up malware through some advertisement.
Then they take the attitude that you are stealing from them and are worse than pond scum, because they have made their sites both unpleasant and unsafe to view without AdBlocking of some form or another. When in all actuality they are the ones who brought this on themselves. All they needed to do to avoid AdBlocking was to slow their roll and keep things simple. Instead they doubled, tripled and quadrupled down on the very things that where driving AdBlocking. When what they need to do is take a step back, push simple ads that don't pollute websites to the point that it makes them flat out unpleasant to visit and prove that they are capable of policing their content so those ads are not going to be a vector for malware.
When I have FIOS and no data limit, the ads don't bother me too much. Video ads do still SUCK. On my phone where I have monthly limits, I don't want some BS video add sending me huge amounts when I am looking for directions to the discount store.

The majority of the adblockers are very heavy handed. They break webpages. ABP is one of them.
It will also do one of two things to sites (regardless of content) that mainly rely on advertising. It will make them go under or the sites will insert javascript for adblocker detection and force you to disable it to use the site. So it will be a near zero-sum game.
What we need is an HTML firewall to block all of the third-party advertising and scripting. This gives sites better control on what shows on their site. Luckily there is a great piece of software for this very thing. Take a look a uBlock Origin. Don't mistake it for uBlock which is a different product. Don't just take my word for it, Steve Gibson has given it a glowing endorsement too. You can checkout how it works here: https://twit.tv/shows/security-now/episodes/523
No good deed goes unpunished.

Actually since I have so many different devices on my local network I find it easier to run my own DNS Server.
The number of blocked ads on mobile devices would be higher if:
a) we had blocking software which didn't rely on rooting.
b) we had universal browser plugins that worked with the popular browsers
c) Firefox Mobile wasn't such an incredibly intolerable piece of shit.

"The host file on my day-to-day laptop is now over 16,000 lines long. Accessing the Internet -- particularly browsing the Web -- is actually faster now."
Speed, and security, is the gain... others like Mr. Day note it as well!
"From what I have seen in my research, major efforts to share lists of unwanted hosts began gaining serious momentum earlier this decade. The most popular appear to have started as a means to block advertising and as a way to avoid being tracked by sites that use cookies to gather data on the user across Web properties. More recently, projects like Spybot Search and Destroy offer lists of known malicious servers to add a layer of defense against trojans and other forms of malware."

As i mentioned before, uBlock and uBlock Origin are not the same product. my uBlock Origin was running about 40MB verses the 63MB of uBlock in that screen shot. Also RAM isn't a usually an issue for most people. That RAM could be used for caching and making lookups and checks faster. The big issue is CPU and any disk I/O that the extension uses.
Also constantly editing the hosts file, especially on windows boxes, is a PITA. Regular users wouldn't be able to do it and those who can just may not be bothered. Also diagnosing and issue because of a previously blocked site is real pain in the butt too. On mobile devices, you probably can't even edit the hosts file without rooting you phone.
No good deed goes unpunished.
See subject: Test it yourself (3-11 mb tops initially) & UBlock origin's attempting to get around "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" slowness vs. hosts -> http://superuser.com/questions... by shaving down the regex difficult to manage for most users rules they use which IS what makes adblock such a RAM & CPU hog + messagepassing overheads...
(That means they're NOT BLOCKING AS MUCH as even "AlmostALLAdsBlocked" is... & hosts does a FAR BETTER JOB for that + a lot more that browser addons can't even touch (DNS security issues anyone??).

ASUS puts bloatware on Laptops
ASUS now puts bloatware on phones.
I guess it is a business model that works for them. The rest of us buy another brand of phone without bloatware.
As far as ads being blocked, the advertisers have done it to themselves. They make annoying heavy ads for things I don't want anyway. They need to make their ads useful and relevant to not be blocked.
I'd like to see how your faggot blocker tool and stop me from putting my dick in your ear.
Of course it can, have you used it lately?
I've found that blocking the fucking scripts works better then blocking ads simply due to the fact that many ads are loaded by fucking scripts. It also reduces the load on the CPU because I'm not running scripts from every fucking Tom,Dick and Hairy when all I want is Wilma and Betty so white listing works quite well. Do this and you'd cut half the fucking problem at the beginning - esepcially for those who have bandwidth caps. Hell I've seen some scripts come in at over 2mb and they've pulled in an over 2G ad (Flash/HTML5) so yea, blocking scripts seems to be far more effective to me then blocking ads after the fucking scripts have loaded.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs."
Gonna have to post AC here...
It definitely, as a solid fact, does do that. I work in ads. We recently made sure all our ads were "acceptable" (and they previously hadn't been) per the adblockplus guidelines, in the hopes of getting onto their optional whitelist.
This came down from above; it wasn't my decision. I see it as pointless, because I personally use adblockplus too, and I sure as fuck don't enable the "acceptable" whitelist. I infer, then, that nearly everyone else does that too. But it doesn't matter; the strategists above said let's try to "work with it" and who knows, maybe some people do enable the whitelist.
And strategic wisdom aside, the consequences are that our ads are now less annoying for the people who don't block them. "Less annoying enough?" you might ask and that's a whole other debate. But the effect is exactly as you describe: it got us to limit our excesses. IMHO we did it for the wrong reasons, but it happened.
And we're not even on the whitelist yet. I think very few advertisers ever will be, but many of us want to be on it, or want to keep that option open if our numbers suddenly start falling (they actually haven't; even still, as of late 2015 I am convinced that a supermajority still aren't blocking).
Give adblockplus some credit, everyone: with this "sellout" move of the "acceptable ads" whitelist, they really did do the whole world some good.
How can I use your solution to block your ads on /., apk? If you can explain this, I'll concede that it's better than all other solutions.

Hopefully this will make things better as (at least on the versions before adblock) on ios many sites are completely unusable start to type in the search box Appstore redirect.
try to scroll the page? Appstore redirect. Try to click a link Interstitial and then appstore redirect. Try to close a page what do you think happens? app store redirect.
Don't have much experience with android tablets but most of what i've seen hangs on the ebay homepage.
Either way in my experience advertisers treat mobile users much worse than desktop users so this is much needed.
I suppose they could double down on devices without adblock but at this point the only thing they could do to be more intrusive would be to install something like cryptowall on your tablet.
Minimum threshold fixed. Thanks!
I think this is excellent. While AdBlock Plus might not be perfect, having it installed by a major manufacturer is an important milestone in stopping the business of intrusive advertising. One must consider that most of the general population does not care enough to install an adblocker. This is especially true for mobile devices. These same people are also not going to care enough to uninstall one, either. The more companies that start doing this, the less profitable serving insecure and invasive advertising becomes.
This will force more and more advertisers to instead switch back to normal, acceptable, responsible ads.
You currently have two choices if you want ABP on mobile: 1) you can install the ABP browser (which isn't Chrome or Firefox), or 2) you can can set up an ABP proxy to use your normal browser. Both options are slower and less reliable than a "real" browser.
They might start installing ABP, but does this mean they'll stop installing crapware (that you can't uninstall) on their devices? I doubt it. This gives Asus the monopoly for advertising on your device--only the ads that come through their own software will get through.
Plain image ads (hosted on your own site not 3rd party-provided)
How would that work? If a site hosts its own ads rather than entrusting that to an ad network, how will its advertisers trust that they're being fed accurate view and click statistics and not a line of bull$#!+?
Put up a paywall - subscribers only.
Say you open a search engine, and you find ten pages, one on each of ten different web sites. But each web site wants $20 for a year's subscription. I don't think most people are willing to buy a year's subscription just for one article from each of these sites.
Increased interest in micro-payment options.
I'm not sure how pay-per-page will work as long as credit cards still have a swipe fee on the order of 33 cents plus 3.3%. And I'm not sure how Bitcoin is a viable alternative when it still has a fee of 0.0001 BTC (currently 4.3 cents) per transaction to discourage dust spam.
What used to buy you a few GB hosting traffic per month, may now by you 1000x that amount.
And what used to buy you ten articles' worth of writing now buys you five.
Does ABP turn Craigslist into a blank page? That site is 100 percent ads apart from its help pages.
Luckily Slashdot has no annoying ads. You piece of shit.

Kaminsky redirect poisoning - 99.999% of ISP DNS aren't patched vs. it.
Open DNS resolvers (not OpenDNS) get exploited by malware A LOT!
Rogue DNS servers are DNS exploit (even in routers not just system IP stack settings).
* Using hosts w/ fav sites you hardcode in 'em YOU AVOID ALL THOSE DNS SECURITY ISSUES ABOVE easily & IT RESOLVES FAR FASTER THAN CALLING TO REMOTE DNS SERVERS (especially exploited or downed ones noted (dns goes down a LOT)).
---
Hosts combined w/ OpenDNS compliment one other.
I don't resolve 'every host-domain there is' via hosts, only my favs @ top of hosts (20 of 'em beating indexing past 2++ million records).
It's where ANYONE spends MOST OF THEIR TIME online - & it's faster + more efficient vs. calling to remote DNS servers.
Placement of favs thus, for FAST RESOLUTION from memory locally (hosts cache like any file) additionally saves CPU cycles, RAM, + I/O turning off a slower usermode clientside DNS cache service instead opting for the kernelmode diskcache (no context switch overhead to the IP stack either this way).
The rest of my hosts files' entries are 3,782,195++ blocked entries vs. malware & ads of many kinds.
I use REMOTE FILTERING DNS SERVERS blocking out malicious sites/servers/hosts-domains via DNS blocking (not locally here as a separate redundant wasteful recursive server or a service/daemon).
---
OpenDNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
---
It LIGHTENS remote DNS loads - admins of 'em should like it! Especially since DNS goes down a LOT!
How do I make my hosts (& do reverse dns pings for FAV sites for faster, more reliable, & safer connections)?

See subject: I never said "hosts cure all" - I point out ways hosts are vastly superior to ANY single browser addon "so-called 'solution'" (sold out ones especially) in terms of resource usage, not having to "Bolt on REDUNDANT 'MoAr'" stupidly & illogically, & in abilities (hosts do FAR MORE for FAR LESS).
* NOTHING WORKS ON "EVERYTHING" for speed, security, reliability, & anonymity!
HOWEVER:
Hosts ARE the closest thing to it for the best 'ROI'/least expended for return on investment.

P.S.=> LMAO - you can CALL ME NAMES ALL DAY - it doesn't prove me wrong in showing a factually backed by reputable sources list of what I noted above in detail... all it shows is you are FAILING & are the trolls around here that can't get the best of me - period (& you KNOW it)... apk
You can live in denial all you want but when you copypaste the same post over a dozen times in every thread about add blocking you are spamming. People have proved many (but not all) of your claims wrong but you don't listen, you just spam spam spam in reply. There's a reason why you have to post as AC and we all know what it is. You post this stuff so many times in each thread that people are actually asking for something to block you. That should tell you something but instead you keep spamming away. Talking to you is an exercise in frustration because you refuse to concede any point, refuse to admit you could be wrong in any way, refuse to listen to other people's input, you act like you're the all mighty authority on blocking that knows all and anything anybody else says must be wrong by default. etc. etc. etc.

Why should such statistics actually matter? If you don't measure the success of an ad campaign purely from sales numbers, you aren't measuring actual effectiveness.
...ads are much more disruptive and costly to the recipient on mobile devices. I'm glad they are doing this, it's long past time.
Congrats, retard.
You've spammed the same message THREE (3) times in reply to one comment.
AND one (1) of them did NOT get down-voted to oblivion.
You must be proud of yourself; one (1) piece of your spam didn't get downvoted.
AB+ doesn't spam, nor does it get downvoted. ONLY apk can achieve those feats, spamming and being downvoted... HARD.
Without statistics, how would an advertiser go about determining which ad buys within a particular campaign were more likely to have contributed to sales? Or are you recommending cost per action (CPA) advertising, such as referral programs where the publisher gets a percentage of the advertiser's directly related sales? One problem with CPA is that it disregards customers who see an ad now and then decide to buy later. The other is CPA's association with CPAlead, a company offering a "content locking" service that requires viewers to take a survey or complete installation of a native application in order to be able to read a web page.
You're frustrated at losing in trying to defeat apk on technical issues you can't prove him wrong on troll. He burnt you at every turn.
I'm frustrated that we have a high profile spammer on /. and no way to block him. Isn't that ironic, an unblockable spammer spamming about blocking software?
I'm frustrated by inferior competitor sockpuppets who feel they can post what they wish but I can't when they can't prove me wrong, lol...
