Nevertheless, an Android version would be very welcome at some point in the future. I'm not talking about a version for the Android version of Firefox (#524) but about a **native** Android apk that blocks system-wide and would be able to replace both [Adaway](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=adaway&fdid=org.adaway) and [Adblock Plus](https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=adblock&fdid=org.adblockplus.android). \r\n\r\nIt would require root access and would probably be removed from the Google Play Store as happened before to both apps above.\r\n\r\nSo ... just an idea if you will ever feel bored ;-)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/comments/71312656","html_url":"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/556#issuecomment-71312656","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gorhill/uBlock/issues/556","id":71312656,"user":{"login":"haarp","id":781030,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/781030?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp","html_url":"https://github.com/haarp","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/haarp/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-24T11:37:35Z","updated_at":"2015-01-24T11:37:35Z","body":"uBlock is written in Javascript. It's platform-dependenant, the platform being a browser. And even if it could run stand-alone, what is it supposed to do? uBlock blocks requests in the browser and modifies websites. How is that supposed to work outside of a browser? To get global blocking in the entire Android OS, a fundamentally different method is necessary, like those utilized by Adaway and Adblock for Android.\r\n"}}
