AdAway not stopping Google Chrome ads

[Zorachus]

I have the HTC One M8, converted to GPE, and I typically run the stock Android "Browser" for the web, and I always have the AdAway .apk installed and up to date, and with Browser i never see adds online.,

Today I decided to try out Google Chrome for the phone, and it looks really and is fast, and some some of that Material Design theme, but I just uninstalled it after just surfing a few of my regular websites, and HUGE adds pooped up. On Android Authority a full screen took over for a few seconds, and on Android Police a huge banner taking up a 1/3rd of the page was on top.

WTF

I guess AdAway doesn't work on Chrome ? Is there something to kill the adds on Chrome ? I liked Chrome over Browser, but with these god awful ads, I have to delete it.

Any suggestions ?

AdAway works great with Chrome for me. Make sure you do not have the Reduce Data Usage feature turned on in Chrome. This routes traffic through a proxy for compression and will thus stop AdAway from working.

In Chrome, go to Menu -> Settings -> Bandwidth management -> Reduce data usage and set it to Off.
