But doesn't it reduce battery life and increase CPU usage? I installed adguard on iOS and it seems only a max of 10 filters are allowed.Adguard Android is more limited than the desktop version in term of lists.
Im not sure you can.
However, you can import a user list:
Settings > user filter > import file
I think it is possible to transfer a filter from adguard desktop to the android version but it seems an arduous job... Maybe you can request in their forum to add the filters you want or to make a file from them.
About Brave, im don't think it is supported
I have 9 active filters, i dont see much resources increase.But doesn't it reduce battery life and increase CPU usage? I installed adguard on iOS and it seems only a max of 10 filters are allowed.
So it works on rooted droids as well?I have 9 active filters, i dont see much resources increase.
Yes, it does as well as non-rooted ones.So it works on rooted droids as well?
Earlier Adguard never worked for me, so I switched to FF with uBO addon with many filters like desktop version w/o a slowdown on 1GB RAM.Yes, it does as well as non-rooted ones.
FF itself is quite slow IMO even on 3GB or 4GB RAM phones. I ditched it after 10 minutes because of its resource consumption without any extension.

FF Quantum is very good. Chrome is too resource intensive on 1GB RAM.FF itself is quite slow IMO even on 3GB or 4GB RAM phones. I ditched it after 10 minutes because of its resource consumption without any extension. I have sony Z3 and galaxy s7
Instead, I use Naked browser (free/pro). It supports adding whatever adblock filter you want by editing a txt file and copy it to Downloads folder, unlimited but too many filters may break some websites
naked browser resource blocking
for system-wise adblock, I ise adhell for samsung which doesn't use the crappy VPN method. If you don't have samsung, you can use blokada
adguard is crap on everything due to its limitation of customization, except the desktop version
I only use adguard for ios to block ads on safari
for me, only naked browser and lightning browser (or lightning browser forks) are resource friendly. The rest are slow or consumes a lot of CPU or memoryFF Quantum is very good. Chrome is too resource intensive on 1GB RAM.

you need to manually edit the txt file. It won't autoupdate but you don't need constant autoupdate for mobile adblockerRegarding the ability to download filters will these filters be automatically updated or I need to manually update them?
Thanks
Hi @Evjl's Rainyou need to manually edit the txt file. It won't autoupdate but you don't need constant autoupdate for mobile adblocker
maybe twice or once a year should be enough
yes if you have 10 lists, it will load everything but too many will make some websites appear blank so using 2-3 filters should be enoughHi @Evjl's Rain
So now I have .nbhosts.txt (actually it's easylist) and easyprivacy.txt files in my Download folder. Does that means Naked Browser will load these 2 lists when using it? Likewise if I have 10 lists in my Download folder Naked Browser will load them all?
Do you know where to download this 'I don't care about cookies' filter list? I tried downloading it but it's saved as index.html format instead rather than a txt file
How about some best filters to block analytics?
Thanks
But I download via Naked Browser and all are saved into the Download folder in my handphone as txt or hosts fileyes if you have 10 lists, it will load everything but too many will make some websites appear blank so using 2-3 filters should be enough
note that naked browser doesn't support element hiding because this feature will comsume a lot more power and CPU
therefore, if you add I don't care about cookies, it won't work because naked browser can't hide cookie message
I suggest using
Easylist without element hiding
easyprivacy
and your regional filter
I think for analytics, easyprivacy is the best because I had problem with stevenblack's hosts when I tried to add it to naked browser txt
you don't have to download the txt file, just open it via your desktop browser, copy and paste into the .nbhosts.txt
yes, you should copy everything into 1 .nbhosts.txt because it is the only file naked browser readsBut I download via Naked Browser and all are saved into the Download folder in my handphone as txt or hosts file
You mean I should view the file, copy ALL its content and append inside one single .nbhosts.txt file?
I think it's ridiculous. From FilterLists | Subscriptions for uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, AdGuard, ...yes, you should copy everything into 1 .nbhosts.txt because it is the only file naked browser reads
to make it easier, you should edit the nbhosts using your computer. Using your phone to edit a large file will be a pain
open filterlists, click on the filter you want, then click View -> copy all the test of the filter and paste it to .nbhosts.txt (before it, you should delete everything in the nbhosts because the default filter is outdated)I think it's ridiculous. From FilterLists | Subscriptions for uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, AdGuard, ...
Easylist with no element hiding rules already has 38 540 rule counts and Easyprivacy has 14 932 rule counts
How to copy?
