Comments on AdGuard Mini: Ad Blocker & DNS for Android

★★★★★ Paul · Sep 24, 2026
Firefox, DuckDuckGo and adguard are all you need. And first stop as installs on new devices. VPN Adds to your anonymity but what most people need is a DNS that blocks known bad actor websites and ad servers ... this does that job. This app for Samsung or use the add-ons for Duck and FF. I have adguard setup on my router Glint Flint3 was prebaked into the firmware. Completely customizable and easy setup. Thanks, AdGuard team community. Pick what you want to block and go.
★★★★★ GAMERZZZ AKV · Sep 30, 2026
Needs A bit of setup best for samsung browser Solution for redirect ads : Just installing it won't block all redirect/ popups, go in app and in filters enable annoyances filter, and in filters click 3 dots and click check for filter updates, and in top right of app click the check for updates. Then it blocks redirect to new tab ads.
★★★★★ M · Jul 30, 2026
Ignore the user-error reviews from people who can't read. Support explicitly confirmed the license covers three devices, not just computers. I run the whole AdGuard ecosystem from router-level DNS to VPN split-tunneling on desktop, and this mobile app is just as flawless. It blocks exactly what it should without breaking sites. If you actually know how to configure your network and want granular privacy control, this is the only blocker worth installing. 5/5.
★★★★★ Hamada Ashraf Ezzeldin · Oct 24, 2026
Best blocking app I'm using a Xiaomi device literally zero ads zero negatives very good overall and very underrated I use it as my DNS also I just contribute my tribute to the owners thanks for making ads not possible 🤣😅
★☆☆☆☆ Arash Mellat · Aug 15, 2026
It’s not working properly for ad removal. I use Opera for Android as my everyday browser, and it has a built-in ad blocker. However, recently it hasn’t been able to block ads on the Euronews website. I tried the AdGuard extension on Firefox for Android, and it works fine on Euronews. So I thought that if I installed the AdGuard app, I’d be able to browse that website using my preferred browser, Opera. Unfortunately, it didn’t block any of those annoying ads. It didn’t work on Chrome either.
★☆☆☆☆ Hamzeh ibrahim · Jul 29, 2026
The ad says AdGuard to block all android apps ads, u enter the app, it says this ad blocker works only on yandex and samsung browser, nice you couldn't even meet ur ads

Description by AdGuard Software Limited Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Block ads, trackers, and intrusive pop-ups on Android without the complexity of a full-featured suite. Get browser-level protection in Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser, plus system-wide DNS filtering for your entire device. Keep your browsing clean, private, and fast — in just a few taps.

Key features:

- Block ads and trackers in Samsung Internet Browser and Yandex Browser
- Enable DNS protection for the entire device — block unwanted domains before they load
- Choose from multiple DNS servers: AdGuard DNS, Family Protection, Non-filtering, Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and more
- Apply DNS filters to customize blocking at the domain level across all apps
- Use dedicated filter groups: Ad blocking, Tracking protection, Annoyances, Social widgets
- Add custom filters and user rules to expand your protection
- View blocking statistics — see how many ads and trackers have been stopped
- Watch videos with fewer interruptions using Video Browser mode
- Lightweight and fast — minimal impact on device performance
- No root access required
- Easy setup — get protected in seconds

How it works:

◾ AdGuard Mini provides browser protection for Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser, removing banner ads, video ads, tracking scripts, and annoying elements like cookie warnings and social widgets. Just enable the feature and browse without distractions.

Browser protection works only in these two browsers because AdGuard Mini relies on the Content Blocking API. Google Play policy does not allow apps that block ads in other apps, and this API is currently supported only by Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser.

◾ AdGuard Mini also offers system-wide DNS protection. Every time an app on your device tries to connect to a domain, AdGuard Mini checks it against your selected DNS server and enabled DNS filters. If the domain is known for ads or tracking, the connection is blocked before any data loads. This protects not just your browser, but every app on your device.

You can also switch between DNS servers depending on your needs. Use AdGuard DNS for ad blocking, Family Protection for safe browsing, Non-filtering for pure speed, or public providers like Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS for reliability. Add DNS filters like AdGuard DNS filter for even more control over what gets blocked.

Free version includes:

➕ Browser protection for Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser
➕ Ad blocking, Tracking protection, and Annoyances filters
➕ DNS protection for the entire device
➕ DNS server selection (AdGuard DNS, Family Protection, Non-filtering, Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and more)
➕ DNS filters (AdGuard DNS filter and others)
➕ Statistics overview
➕ Video Browser mode
➕ Custom User rules

Why choose AdGuard Mini?

Basic Android protection without the unnecessary complexity. A lightweight entry point into the AdGuard ecosystem — you don’t need to understand the full product to get powerful ad and tracker blocking in your browsers and DNS-level protection for your device. Just download, enable, and enjoy a cleaner, faster, and more private mobile experience.

For users of the old AdGuard Content Blocker:

AdGuard Mini is not just a new name — it is a completely rebuilt product. Compared to Content Blocker, we have revamped browser protection with stronger filters and better anti-tracking, added system-wide DNS protection, expanded DNS server choices, introduced separate DNS filtering, and added support for custom rules and filters.

Recent changes:
v3.0 is the biggest update in the app’s history. AdGuard Content Blocker has grown into AdGuard Mini for Android — a lightweight version of the full-fledged AdGuard app. It’s no longer just a content blocker for two browsers: with the new DNS protection, improved Browser protection, Video browser, and Statistics, AdGuard Mini is all you need for the cleaner, safer, and distraction-free experience on Android.
