AdBlock Steeling 3g Bandwidth?

Post by hellere »

Hello

I am using Adblock on my Note 3.

i tend to check things

i have noticed that even though there is no proxy setting for adblock to work with 3g, when testing the android network usage, one can clearly c that its using more than 74MB per week !

Why ?

Hi,

which version of AdblockPlus are you using? We have release a new one not long ago so you should consider updating. If you using AdblockPlus in a Wlan of course it will work, and you see weekly traffic, if you only have 3g and AdblockPlus is not working on that, than why do you have it installed in the first place?

Greetz,
