How I Created a Revolutionary Ad Blocker for Android - UBlock Origin for Chrome Android

As a developer and security researcher, I've always been fascinated by the concept of ad blockers. In July 2015, I set up our first highly scalable DNS (Domain Name Server) to tackle this problem. The idea was simple: incorporate an old and forgotten approach for blocking internet ads on mobile devices.

I started developing 'Block This' in June 2015 with a mission to reduce the junk we're bombarded with daily - hacking credit cards, pestering us with ads everywhere, and making it difficult to find good content online. The web has become a treasure trove of advertisements, with more than 80% of its content focused on making money off our personal data.

The initial tests were promising - the blacklist worked perfectly, and battery consumption was very low compared to standard Android ad blockers using hosts files. But what surprised me most was the potential for UBlock Origin for Chrome Android to revolutionize mobile browsing.

By leveraging an innovative approach, I managed to create a highly effective ad blocker that doesn't rely on traditional methods. With UBlock Origin for Chrome Android, users can enjoy a seamless browsing experience without being bombarded with unwanted ads.

The result is a game-changer for Android users who want to take control of their mobile browsing experience. UBlock Origin for Chrome Android is not just an ad blocker; it's a powerful tool that helps you reclaim the web from advertisers and other malicious entities.

As I reflect on my journey, I'm proud of what we've accomplished with UBlock Origin for Chrome Android. It's a testament to innovation and determination, and I believe it will change the way we interact with the internet forever.
