ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com)

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-more-ads dept.

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%.

    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.
