Why do ads pop up on my tablet?
Many free programs for Google Play are developed by professional users. The main purpose of creating these apps is to make money. How can you make money on software if it is downloaded for free? Naturally, install advertising. The programmer installs it and the users get rid of it. Why is this required?
There are at least three reasons why this should be done. Advertising:
- It eats up traffic a lot. For people who pay for Internet per megabyte, this is a significant disadvantage.
- Messages are an ideal conduit for viruses. Through them, anything can penetrate onto the tablet absolutely unnoticed.
- Significantly wastes battery power and discharges the device at the most unnecessary time.
Attention! To avoid problems in the first place, you can buy a paid version of the software. But few people do this.
How to remove pop-up ads on an Android tablet
There are several basic ways to remove pop-up ads on a tablet without losing warranty service and without jeopardizing your own safety.These options for getting rid of banners work at a higher level of software and do not interfere with the normal operation of the OS.
In this case, we consider separately working utilities and blockers built into browsers that act as a “filter”. These add-ons can remove pop-up content from a downloaded file and prevent banners from popping up in apps:
- Blocking browsers. This solution is great for people who want to remove advertising messages on their tablet without having background processes suck up RAM and take up disk space. You need to install a browser with a blocker. For example, the most common are Yandex Browser and Opera, less popular are GhosteryPrivacy Browser and AdblockBrowser. At the same time, the first browsers allow you to compress traffic, so you can increase Internet speed. But these browsers will not be able to protect against banners in games.
- Separately working utilities. When setting up your tablet after purchase, immediately download a pop-up message blocker from the specialized Google Play service. The most popular utility that all computer users know is AdblockPlus. It works on the principle of a proxy server that blocks banners everywhere - on web pages, in games. As an alternative – AdGuard. It works like a VPN and also provides security. But in the free version of this application there is blocking only on sites. Therefore, banners will appear in applications and games.
What not to do to prevent advertising from appearing again
It is not recommended to use technologies that require obtaining administrative rights (Root). There are a large number of instructions on the network for cutting out such messages using LuckyPatcher and correcting the hosts file.All this can work effectively, but in fact, Root is a big gap in the security system, so many virus programs can penetrate that there will be no time for banners.
Any advertisement pops up for the sake of making money. Developers specifically build entire codes that are responsible for pop-up advertisements. They are also people and want money for their work, but sometimes the advertising is very aggressive (pops up every minute or several banners in a row), and sometimes they are cunning and “disguise” the close button, forcing you to watch to the end. This is why such messages irritate users.
