How to block ads on Android apps (non rooted0?

[Andima]

Hi!
Are there any free apps for block unwanted ads on Android apps. I try Adfree, Adaway. But they need root access. I have non rooted phone and I'm afire to root it because of its still in warranty period.

Rooting is the only way to ad block. If you are in the U.S., don't be afraid because of warranty concerns. The Magnussen-Moss Warranty Act prevents warranty denial unless it can be proved that the owner action or modification caused the fault. For example, rooting allows you unfettered access to system files, which if deleted, could brick your device. That would certainly be just cause for warranty denial. However, if your screen delaminated after rooting, they would be hard pressed to prove a connection. The law states they must prove your actions caused the fault... not "might have" caused the fault. As long as you don't do anything stupid, you'll be fine.

Actually developing an app is not an easy job. By setting it as free + ads to let developers earn ad revenue is totally unacceptable to end users? If most end users feel ALL apps should be free without ads then I think the whole Android system will start to see a slow down of new apps. Will this be good in the long run?

The only concern I have is when the app is loaded heavily with ads which impact users in using the app. I believe some minimal amount of ads should be acceptable? After-all a lot of Android paid apps are sold at .99 or whatever the lowest price Google has set. Is that a lot to ask for?

PS I guess some end users will disagree with me and I accept your opinion. You want totally free + without ads apps.
