Ad blocking ----------- * Download/install the latest version [from GitHub](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/releases) * Enable the setting '*Filter traffic*' (always enabled on Android 5.0 or earlier) * Enable the setting '*Block domain names*' (default enabled) * Import or download a hosts file using the appropriate option * Disable browser compression (Chrome: three dot menu > Settings > Data Saver > Off) * Wait 10 minutes to let the Android DNS cache time out * Test if it works by opening [this page](http://www.netguard.me/test) * Enjoy ad blocking Which hosts (domains) will be blocked depends on the hosts file being used. NetGuard provides the [StevenBlack hosts file](https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts) download with the following additions: * reports.crashlytics.com * settings.crashlytics.com * e.crashlytics.com See [here](https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard/issues/277) for alternative hosts files. NetGuard does not concatenate hosts files, so you will have to use a source which does this for you or do it yourself. You can check the number of hosts (domains) imported by pulling the NetGuard notification down using two fingers. **Note that ad blocking is not available when NetGuard was installed from the Play store!**
