In short, no. Not at all. Here's why.While it's great that Adblock Plus doesn't require root to block ads, it's actually a bit misleading. Those without root can only block ads when connected to Wi-Fi. If you have root, Adblock Plus will block ads over Wi-Fi and mobile data. Non-rooted Android devices version 3.0 and lower will have to do some manual configuration as well.doesn't require rootcan only block ads when connected to Wi-FiOn top of requiring root to be fully functional, Adblock Plus has a bunch of quirks. There will be a persistent notification icon letting you know that Adblock Plus is running and blocking ads. You can't get rid of this notification icon if you like a clean looking notification shade. The reason Adblock Plus has this icon is to prevent the app from being killed by the operating system.persistent notification iconIn use, Adblock Plus worked well, blocking ads from most apps. There were several apps that still displayed ads, even after setting up Adblock Plus. This is quite a disappointment as the desktop browser extension is very good at blocking ads from all sources.
