Additional STEPS for using this with Google Chrome-
Since Google Chrome uses its own DNS resolver, we need to disable that for ad block to work.
STEP 1-
- Launch Chrome app.
- Enter the URL “chrome://flags”, without quotes, into the address bar.
- You will see a new window with many flags.
- Search for “dns”.
- Set the “Async DNS” option to “Disabled” and close the tab.
STEP 2- You will also need to clear the prebuilt DNS cache.
- Enter “chrome://net-internals”,
without quotes, into the address bar. - Select the DNS tab, and tap on “Clear Cache”.
- Restart Chrome.
