vdex42 Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 I've installed the latest maxthon browser for Android from the play store. The page there claims it works with adblock plus, but after installing it I have literally gone through every menu item I can find, but see no setting for adblock, or for any addons/extensions. From what I was reading it looks like adblock is actually integrated into Maxthon Android? but it doesn't seem to work for me, as I am still seeing adverts, and http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/confirms it is not working. Can anyone help? I really like how fast Maxthon is, but at the moment I am still using the much slower Firefox android browser, since its adblock extension does work for me.

What is your Android device specification? FYI- ABP in Maxthon for Android doesn't work/ shows up on "weak" devices- for example Samsung Galaxy Young (one core CPU).

vdex42 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Thanks for replying. It is the Samsung Galaxy S6. Maybe it is a bug in Maxthon that the device might be too new for it know about it, so it is defaulting to "weak" device mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that yours S6 is enough powerful to handle Maxthon's ABP . Anyway- try to uninstall your current version and manualy install this one from http://www.apk4fun.com/apk/2915/ and check if it's helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think it is the phone ;) It's only got an octo core CPU *gloat* Anyway, I uninstalled and installed from your link (it reports ver 4.4.3.1000 build 2917). But don't see a difference. Testing it with the worst for adverts site I can think of I tried http://www.mirror.co.uk/and got an overlay, and pretty much an advert between every story. Also the http://simple-adblock.com/faq/testing-your-adblocker/ link still fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugSir007 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi vdex42, Glad to talk to you. How come there is no AdBlock settings in your browser? Which version of android installed on your phone please? Any screenshot of Maxthon settings page to have a look? Adblock Plus(beta) is located between Privacy&security and Advanced settings setting options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adblock Plus(beta) is located between Privacy&security and Advanced settings setting options. Thanks for looking into this. I was wondering where the setting was meant to be. No I don't see that. I've taken some screenshots of what I see in the settings, my ad filled mirror, and my exact android version: ---- --- --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artee Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 In my personal experience, the tablet (aka HD) version available on the PlayStore, does not have ABP in it, even though it gets constantly updated. If I install the regular version, ABP works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexp999 Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Having the same issue on my Xperia Z3+ which has a snapdragon 810 so plenty powerful enough. Tried uninstalling the play store version and manually installing the one suggested here but it made no difference. This is the one thing keeping me from using this as my main browser. Can you not just make the setting available but use your performance detection to default it off or provide a warning about detrimental performance? At least then those of us with powerful enough phones can override the buggy detection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
