Ad-Blocker:
** This is Optional **
Android has a built-in ad-blocker(hosts file), which by default is empty. If thoroughly populated, it can keep your phone 99% ad free. This can help speed up your web browsing significantly since ads wont load.
---Here's a nice little package I made to update the hosts file.
---This will eliminate the need for an ad-blocker app.
** I will update this every 1-2 months or as needed. **
No need to wipe... Just flash the zip in recovery after first boot.
