Hello, Im new here. Downloaded from [blokada.org](http://blokada.org), not the play store. Android latest update on galaxy s21 + 5g Browser free adblocker plus, paid subscriber. Ive noticed that the adblocker browser im using is no longer able to be run in the background, is there a work around using blokada to still be able to use my preferred browser and have it run in the background, or would I need to switch phone browsers. Are there any free, safe, and trusted adblocker Android browsers available? Or does blokada have a built in browser feature. Does anyone know? Cheers, Marshall ---

Hi, welcome to the community. You can disable adblock on your browser. Blokada should also block ads on websites. Don’t forget to check out the Advanced tab, where you can customize how the app works. ---
