Samsung is hoping to help out users who don’t want to see any ads on their Galaxy devices with a new over-the-air update. The company updated its web browser on Android for 5.0 users to include the new adblocking capability. If you’re using Chrome, you won’t be able to take advantage of this as it just works on Samsung’s own mobile browser. Developers can build adblocking extensions for Samsung’s browser. The first extension available is Adblock Fast is the first to take advantage of the API and it supposedly raises speeds of loading a page by up to 51 percent on average with ads blocked.
If you’re not a Samsung user but want access to the browser and its adblocking capabilities, Samsung has made it available for Android users running version 5.0 and up. Android 4.0 users should be getting the feature in the coming months.
