Adhell 3 for Samsung Galaxy devices block Ads, Package Disabler, and others [APK Download]

Adhell gained a lot of popularity among the Samsung community since it was first relaunched in 2016. Adhell is a Samsung Knox-based app that can block Ad system width, trackers, analysis of applications without root. It has more functions than just Ad-Blocker including Disabler Package, Mobile Restricter, Permission Application controller, and more. Adhell uses the Samsung Knox SDK, so you can use it natively with your Samsung stock firmware; TouchWiz or Sasmsung Experience 9.0. Additionally, there is no need for root access.

With the help of developers, Adhell 3 is now available for download. Since Adhell (first) was abandoned by the original developer, the source code remains publicly available. Therefore, the developers released Adhell 2 and SABS (Simple Ad Blocker for Samsung), which is similar to Adhell but with more features for free. Then, Samsung also stopped the SABS project. Now, although Adhell, or SABS may be abandoned, Adhell 3 is still alive. The source code was just updated 1 day ago.

Adhell 3 can also work as a blocker of URLs or websites, blacklist or whitelist apps for ad blocking, etc. Set Adhell 3 to work with the latest Oreo stock firmware on Samsung Galaxy S8, S8 +, Note 8, Galaxy S9 / S9 +, S7 , S7 Edge, Note 5, and others. It has also been tested on some other Samsung devices with Android version 5.0 or higher.
