Trialing the Adblocker

In case you all missed it, Comodo brought out the Adblocker for Windows, iOs and Android: https://forums.comodo.com/general-discussion-off-topic-anything-and-everything/adblocker-from-comodo-windows-ios-and-android-t114002.0.html;msg825501#msg825501

It was mentioned back before Christmas in the Google+ Beta group but I only just discovered that it was already released and talked about in the General Discussion board recently.

For the Android Version, you have to manually download the apk from http://whichadblocker.com/ and enable installation from unknown sources on your phone temporarily as it’s not yet on Google Play.

I’ve done some initial testing and so far it’s blocking ads on websites effectively when browsing with Chrome. It creates a VPN, much like OperaMax does.

Updated: It also appears to block ads within aps as well. My usual call blocker normally has a banner of ads at the bottom of the app window but this isn’t displayed when Adblock is connected!

Will keep you posted of any other feedback.
