Many times we think that our mobile phones work badly because the Internet network to which we are connected is slow or because we have too much data that takes up a lot of storage in the memory of our device.
Although it is correct to think sobut most of the time our mobiles work slow by a mysterious and silent enemy that we have lodged in them, without us noticing its presence.
They are the commercials that notoriously harm our telephone and also our privacy. Today we bring you everything related to invasive advertising for Android phoneswe want to show you everything you need to know about ads and how to remove them.
Why remove ads and invasive advertising from your Android device? Advantage
The marketing strategies of the companies that carry out their advertisements through the Internet show the same product, or a variety of theseto the same user in an insistent way. These pop-up windows are not only a visual nuisance but also cause loss of concentration and time when we browse the Internet.
There are different advantages, which we want to show you now so that you know that blocking invasive advertising is one of the best things you can do on a computer.
Next, we detail what those are advantages and what it consists of blocking or eliminating ads and invasive advertising on your device with the Android operating system:
Improve user experience
The user experience in Internet browsing is the psychological factor where the expectations and experiences that the user previously had are conditioned.
It is very related to comfort, intuition and emotional behavior that the computer systems have when using the navigator.
We mentioned this to you previously because commercial advertisements cause a negative experience, since the comfort and emotional behavior that we have when we browse are at stake.
When we remove advertising visually we have a better perspective of the application we are using, reading becomes more enjoyable and the time it takes us to finish our articles is less.
By having a reading or viewing of a video without interruptions, the result is that the acquisition of concepts and understanding of the article that we read or saw will be greater.
Improve internet speed
By granting permission for advertising in our browser, we are granting authorization for different files or data to be loaded in parallel with the page with which we want to navigate.
This procedure generates a resource expense of our telephone and Internetsince it needs more processes to be able to download the requested protocols of the page and of the advertising, using in turn greater capacity for downloading data from the Internet.
If we had ads blocked, Internet speed would improve considerably because it would only lead to the loading of the requested page and not background pages generated by adware.
Avoid malicious files
The Association for Media Research At its 18th meeting, it provided accurate information about how advertising influences Internet performance. Nearly 60% of those surveyed for this study said there is too much advertising, with virus or spyware infection on devices being a major concern.
With this we want to explain to you that every time there is persuasive advertising aimed directly at our consumption, there is a great risk that this link, to which you are redirected, has a malicious file or perhaps a virus that can affect your Android operating system.
If we avoid or block advertisements we will be able to considerably reduce the risk of “Malware” and “Adware” or infections in our mobile. We will also avoid Phishing practices, which are carried out with Ads files.
Saving money
The advertisements, having to be downloaded with data services offered by telephone companies, use the same data to a considerable extent.
When we decide to block the ads, we will realize the savings we obtained at the end of the month with this point.
Avoid distasteful advertising
Many times we have wanted to avoid an advertising banner by closing or clicking on a cross that is within reach of our hands, inappropriate images for minors, or simply visually unpleasant, immediately appear.
We will avoid these situations when we block the ads on our mobile.
What are the safest and most commonly used methods to remove ads on Android?
Luckily, there are methods to avoid persuasive advertisements that affect our daily lives.. For this, we are going to show you the main methods that are currently used and that are characterized by their security to eliminate ads on Android.

A disadvantage of this method is that the interface that some pages will present will not look pretty at all, rather they will be able to be observed “flat” either “without an attractive shape”.
