Android Ad Blocker - Divisions by zero

Anybody know of a good apk that blocks ads while watching YouTube on my phone app ?

I don’t have a good adblocker for you. You can try in-browser mobile YouTube with Firefox + uBlock, but I would suggest switching away from the native YouTube app and getting NewPipe with SponsorBlock from F-Droid.

but it doesn’t on unrooted Android

It actually has VPN mode which also works without root

That’s the only method for it to work on uprooted phones.

You need to add an Xposed module for it to block ads on YouTube though, requiring root. AdAway VPN mode on unrooted phones won’t block YouTube ads. I just triple checked and tried it again to make sure I wasn’t talking out of my ass.

Ohh. That’s what you mean
