Beginning Wednesday, users can join a special Google+ community that will give them access to an early beta version of the Adblock Browser for Android devices. The company says its browser will “block annoying ads automatically, saving users battery speed, keeping them safe and handing them control while they’re on the go.”
Adblock Plus highlighted four key features in the new Adblock Browser app:
“As people have embraced the mobile web, advertisers have rushed in after them and destroyed the user experience with ads that are often thoughtlessly designed, as well as mobile ad networks that are riddled with security holes,” Adblock Plus co-founder Till Faida said in a press release. “Adblock Browser for Android puts the control back into users’ hands.”
Adblock Browser for Android is a free download, and the beta version is available for download from Adblock Plus’ Google+ community.
