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.
