I don’t know about ICS but in Jelly Bean Go to Settings > Apps> AdBlock Plus and uncheck Show notifications. I don’t know how it will fair staying in memory but it will remove the notification.

App developers are known to be some of the most responsive to user feedback. How can they know what problems exist if no one says anything?

Switched Filter subscription from ‘Fanboy’s List’ to ‘Easylist’, seems to have stopped the crashing? or was it the power down/ restart?
Either way I like it, thanks.

The problem is that many apps don’t give you the opportunity to purchase an ad free version. I probably own over a 100 paid apps (several of which I don’t use anymore/aren’t updated/don’t have the phone they were designed for).

Developers don’t want to support 2 apps, so they only deploy the ad-supported version and don’t do anything for those of us who DO purchase apps.

I posted a similar response at androidpolice and had the same reaction. Sad people don’t seem to realize this makes a lot of the apps we use on android free. The ads may not always be placed well…but, I never thought they were all that intrusive. (Save for a few games that required me to take “ad breaks” by watching videos)

The app won’t be killed instantly but when your device is in a low-memory situation it is very likely to be killed by Android.

If you aren’t clicking any ads, then you aren’t supporting them anyways. In fact, if you don’t have a default browser set, they won’t even make money off of your accidental clicks since you’ll be asked what browser to use before the page loads.

Google’s life nectar is ads, and look, they’re a monster. ad blockers aren’t as damaging as devs make them out to be. Sure, they’d make a little more money if they didn’t exist, but it’s not going to be a defining factor in whether or not a company lives or dies. Or even whether or not a dev eats or starves.

If I like a devs work, I donate. 5-10 bucks in a devs pocket is more money than they’ll ever make from me making accidental clicks on ads.

If you use Firefox Nightly for Android, you can install the ABP extension and it will block ads on any network and all connections.

Would this interfere with or cause any issues if I currently have AdAway? If so, would anyone recommend one over the other?
