Is there a way to block pop ups on torrent sites such as 1337x on Android?

Question

I download my stuff through 1337x usually and I constantly get a pop up ad. And that happens to me on every torrent site. Is there a way to stop it? I have adblock plus for Samsung internet, but it doesn't work.

Use either Edge browser with " advanced adblock" setting turned on, or Firefox with Ublock extension. There's also a Chrome flag you can enable to prevent popups, but it's unreliable at best

It's important to note that you should use "uBlock Origin" and not "uBlock." Despite the similar names, the former is definitely the one you want.

AdGuard from XDA is good

Probably the best, with systemwide blocking and frequent updates.

It's about $20 for a lifetime license, but you guys shouldn't have a problem with that based on the sub we're in.

You should buy it if you like it, those guys do great work.

I use Adaway. However, Blokada served me really well before I rooted my phone.

I use firefox with uBlock Origin you can download it from the firefox addon store.

Firefox with uBlock Origin or Brave browser.

You could just download the Samsung internet browser and install Adblock Fast for it

That's what I use. Doesn't work at all

Brave browser on Android blocks everything.

Firefox with whatever ad blocker you like.. that works. Ublock origin, for instance. Adblock is a POS.

you could use a pihole what that is fairly involved to set up.
