✅ Ответ / Решение

The fastest way to block 90% of ads in games and browsers: Go to Settings → Network & Internet (or Connections) → Private DNS. Select "Private DNS provider hostname" and type exactly: dns.adguard-dns.com. Save it. All your internet traffic will now be filtered, blocking ads at the network level.

Sudden pop-up banners, ads on your lock screen, and browser tabs that open by themselves aren't just annoying—they also drain your smartphone's battery and consume your mobile data.

Most of the time, the culprit hides in your system settings, your browser, or a rogue app you accidentally installed. Let's go step-by-step to clean your phone of adware.

1. Block Ads via Private DNS

This is the ultimate "magic pill" for modern Android smartphones (Android 9 and newer). By setting up AdGuard's Private DNS, you route all your internet traffic through a filter that prevents ad banners from loading in the first place.

  • Pros: Works across all browsers and most free mobile games.
  • How to set it up: Settings → Connections → More connection settings → Private DNS. Type dns.adguard-dns.com and hit Save.
ℹ️ Important

If you can't connect to public Wi-Fi (like in a cafe or airport) after enabling this, temporarily turn off Private DNS, log into the Wi-Fi network, and then turn it back on.

2. Clean Up Google Chrome Notifications

If you're seeing spammy ads appearing as push notifications in your notification panel, Chrome is usually to blame. You likely accidentally tapped "Allow" on a shady website.

  1. Open Chrome, tap the three dots in the top right corner → Settings.
  2. Go to Notifications.
  3. Scroll down to the "Sites" section. Toggle off all suspicious or unfamiliar websites.
  4. Go back to Settings, tap Site settings → Pop-ups and redirects, and make sure it is set to Blocked.

3. Find and Uninstall Adware Apps

Sometimes, ads pop up directly on your home screen out of nowhere. This is caused by a malicious app (often disguised as a "Memory Cleaner," "Flashlight," or "QR Scanner").

  • Go to Settings → Apps → See all apps.
  • Carefully scroll through the list. Look for apps with no icon (just a blank space) or suspicious names you don't remember installing.
  • Tap on the app and select Uninstall.
⚠️ Never download apps from pop-up ads that promise to "speed up your phone by 10x" or "clean 100 GB of junk." In 99% of cases, these are the exact apps infecting your phone with adware.

4. Disable Manufacturer System Ads

Brands like Xiaomi, Realme, and sometimes Samsung integrate ads directly into their default system apps (Music, Themes, File Manager).

For example, on Xiaomi (MIUI):

  1. Go to Settings → Passwords & security → Authorization & revocation.
  2. Revoke authorization for msa (MIUI System Ads).
  3. Open individual system apps (like Security or Downloads), go to their settings, and toggle off "Receive recommendations."
