What exactly do you mean? Ads when you're on the internet?

i guess batreky means an ad block to negate pops-ups? like ABP on firefox? Would be a cool step if we could have widgits on the stock browser...

Can't say I've noticed them to be fair. I bet they stick out like a sore thumb now though.

Have you tried an alternative browser? I know Firefox do an android browser so you might be able to get an add on for that.

well there was an instance when the main phandroid website had this massive pop up with no instant visable way of closing the bugger, unless you mega zoom to the top right to see it (boo...)

but the most part pop-ups open up another window

Dolphin HD prevents most of of those, but not all, via a pop up blocker configuration checkbox in settings.

The stock browser has a setting also, but I've found that it allows more than Dolphin, neither of which is nearly as good as the PC version of Firefox with AdBlocker Plus 1.3.3, which totally eradicates them.

agreed, have the block pop-up windows enabled, but still occasionally get pop ups spawing in new windows. but cheers for the suggestion, might actually give Dolphin Browser HD a try and see if that makes any difference.

Any one use Opera to see if theres a better pop-up blocker functionality built in?

lol you mean the in built ads developers put in apps to compensate the fact the apps they usually provide are for free?

***sorry but to be more constructive, im only aware of hacking it whilst rooted and knowing a lil adb on the side, personally, with the size of the DHD, im ok with ads, and anyways, if you dont want ads, just fork out the usual 99cents and just buy the app ad free lol***

Hi guys,

I have a similar problem.
I just bought my first smart phone, HTC Desire HD, and I was just messing around with settings when I come around option that said that "phone will use your location to show you ads . . ." or something like that.
At that time I was connected to internet through Wi-Fi.
I wanted to see what it does, and now every time I start something (app, game), there is ribbon with Google ad.
I can't find that option again to turn it off.

Please, does anyone knows where is that options is so I can turn it OFF ?

Thanks

Take a look at the post directly above yours.....

To be honest you should really put up with the adds, without the adds you would have to pay for the apps.

If your really against supporting developers; then in my experience most adds don't show if you turn off 3G and WiFi because they need the internet to load lol.

That sounds like the setting Use Wireless Network in the Location Menu of the settings.
