Ad Blocking ​

Blocks ads in the generated app using hosts rules and cosmetic filtering.

Where: the Ad blocking card in the Edit Common Config editor.

Options ​

  • Enable — turn ad blocking on (adBlockEnabled).
  • Rules — custom blocking rules (adBlockRules).
  • Subscriptions — filter subscription URLs (adBlockSubscriptions), chosen from the built-in lists and your imported custom sources in Hosts Ad Blocking.

Notes ​

  • Manage filter lists and subscriptions globally in Hosts Ad Blocking (20 built-in community lists).
  • Ad blocking is wired for both preview and export: the host blocker serves preview, and the rule text ships inside the exported APK for the app to parse at launch. A large list shows Compiling ad-block rules... while that step runs. At launch, a downloaded list is parsed off the main thread. The window stays responsive, and the first page waits until the rules are ready.
