Hello, I download Blokada 5 from this website
I am using android 15 on Galaxy A55 5G. I do not think I used custon ROM. I wanted block sponsored ads from google map, gmail, and messenger from Meta.
I tried to open all blocklists, but these ads still pop up. I did not know where the so-called “hamburger” is. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks a lot.
Hey, yeah, I am afraid that blocking ads inside Google Maps, Gmail, and Messenger isn’t possible with our app—or any other ad blocker, really. This is because these platforms (Google, Meta) serve ads directly from their own servers as part of the app’s content, so regular ad-blocking tools can’t touch them.
If you want to check if you have correctly configured our app to block standard ads, you can visit one of those adblock test pages, for example: https://adblock-tester.com/
Thanks for your response. I actually discovered that I can toggle what to block. I manage to block anything wih the words like google, fb, and so forth. Aside from dysfunction of the above apps, some other apps also malfunction even though I thought they are unrelated. In that way, I was forced to choose exceptions.
I think finding replacements might be my ideal solution currently. I had paid to Proton mail and I think it is good currently. Osmand is really hard for me to use, maybe because I lived in East Asia? Signal might be the next thing to choose, maybe also try to find something to replace Line.
Anyway, I might just give up for now, as tweaking settings in Blokada is extremely for me to grasp.
I really appreciate your reply. Thanks.
