Android uses the same 'hosts' file system as Windows (it's in /system/etc). If you can determine the URL of the offending ad, you can block it by entering the loopback address, followed by the FQDN. For example, here's an entry from my 'hosts' file:
Code:
127.0.0.1 ad.interclick.com

I feel compelled to be 'that guy' and play the annoying semantics card -- Android isn't using the same hosts file as Windows, it's Windows that 'borrowed' the hosts file from Unix. Windows does predate Android by well over a couple of decades but Android has always had Unix as its backbone.

Speaking of semantics, is there really any difference between saying "Android uses the same 'hosts' file system as Windows" versus "Windows uses the same 'hosts' file system as Android"? The statement was phrased in the context of the question.
You're welcome!

I would like to edit my Samsung Galaxy S6's hosts file so that I can see the test server version of a client's website. I have used the ES File Explorer app to open and edit the hosts file, but it won't save. Instead, I get an error message saying it cannot save. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
