About this app

Block ads, trackers, and intrusive pop-ups on Android without the complexity of a full-featured suite. Get browser-level protection in Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser, plus system-wide DNS filtering for your entire device. Keep your browsing clean, private, and fast — in just a few taps.

Key features:

- Block ads and trackers in Samsung Internet Browser and Yandex Browser
- Enable DNS protection for the entire device — block unwanted domains before they load
- Choose from multiple DNS servers: AdGuard DNS, Family Protection, Non-filtering, Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and more
- Apply DNS filters to customize blocking at the domain level across all apps
- Use dedicated filter groups: Ad blocking, Tracking protection, Annoyances, Social widgets
- Add custom filters and user rules to expand your protection
- View blocking statistics — see how many ads and trackers have been stopped
- Watch videos with fewer interruptions using Video Browser mode
- Lightweight and fast — minimal impact on device performance
- No root access required
- Easy setup — get protected in seconds

How it works:

◾ AdGuard Mini provides browser protection for Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser, removing banner ads, video ads, tracking scripts, and annoying elements like cookie warnings and social widgets. Just enable the feature and browse without distractions.

Browser protection works only in these two browsers because AdGuard Mini relies on the Content Blocking API. Google Play policy does not allow apps that block ads in other apps, and this API is currently supported only by Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser.

◾ AdGuard Mini also offers system-wide DNS protection. Every time an app on your device tries to connect to a domain, AdGuard Mini checks it against your selected DNS server and enabled DNS filters. If the domain is known for ads or tracking, the connection is blocked before any data loads. This protects not just your browser, but every app on your device.

You can also switch between DNS servers depending on your needs. Use AdGuard DNS for ad blocking, Family Protection for safe browsing, Non-filtering for pure speed, or public providers like Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS for reliability. Add DNS filters like AdGuard DNS filter for even more control over what gets blocked.

Free version includes:

➕ Browser protection for Samsung Internet and Yandex Browser
➕ Ad blocking, Tracking protection, and Annoyances filters
➕ DNS protection for the entire device
➕ DNS server selection (AdGuard DNS, Family Protection, Non-filtering, Google DNS, Cloudflare DNS, and more)
➕ DNS filters (AdGuard DNS filter and others)
➕ Statistics overview
➕ Video Browser mode
➕ Custom User rules

Why choose AdGuard Mini?

Basic Android protection without the unnecessary complexity. A lightweight entry point into the AdGuard ecosystem — you don’t need to understand the full product to get powerful ad and tracker blocking in your browsers and DNS-level protection for your device. Just download, enable, and enjoy a cleaner, faster, and more private mobile experience.

For users of the old AdGuard Content Blocker:

AdGuard Mini is not just a new name — it is a completely rebuilt product. Compared to Content Blocker, we have revamped browser protection with stronger filters and better anti-tracking, added system-wide DNS protection, expanded DNS server choices, introduced separate DNS filtering, and added support for custom rules and filters.
Lightweight ad blocking & DNS protection. No complex setup.

The mini version which i only use for Samsung Internet keeps running in the background even after I close the browser, causing significantly higher battery consumption than before. It seems to remain active unnecessarily, draining my phone’s battery.

Hi there! Thanks for rating our app! AdGuard Mini runs in the background to keep the new protection features standby. We are going to refine this mechanism. If you have any questions, please get in touch via the in-app feedback system. We’d be glad to hear from you! AdGuard Team 💚

The so called Mini version although better features than the old one now occupies way more memory space.. Had I've known this I wouldn't have done the update.. Now I'm stuck with it? Uninstalling and installing ABP instead due to lack of space on my phone.. Its been fun.

didn't ask for full DNS and nonsense app..just a simple ad blocker for my browser.. you updated your software to be something else heavy and pointless... I have an app to watch YouTube videos without ads, I have a vpn app I can change my location, and DNS. what happened to just a small simple ad blocker for the browser? I've replaced your app with APB ad blocker
