What Adblocker are people using?

Hi, just wondering what adblocker people are using? I use the stock browser, so I've installed Adblock Fast:

Seems to work well and doesn't appear to use any significant battery life. Appears to use about 6-8Mb of RAM.

Please use Adguard and you would save tons of data that gets consumed via advt and website trackers. Worth the money.

Adblock plus. Good and free.

Been using Adblock Fast for the last few days and it seems to do a very good job. Not sure how Adblock plus compares.

Adblock Fast states:
"Adblock Fast runs an optimized filtering ruleset to accelerate webpages more but consume less disk space, CPU cycles, and memory than other ad blockers do. Also unlike other ad blockers, Adblock Fast doesn’t allow “acceptable ads” and never will."

I am familiar with Adblock plus for PC - it does the job, but can be slightly heavy at times. For my PC, I've long ago switched to uBlock (Origin).

Adguard. It blocks ads in apps and in any browser. I especially like how it blocks ads and still allows me to visit sites that are trying prevent to people using adblockers from using their sites.

Yes, but I'm personally only after a light adblocker for the browser. Adguard sounds like it would use up more system resources and therefore battery life etc. Adblock Fast doesn't appear to use up any significant battery life at all, at any time.

I don't notice any ads for anything else I use on my phone, but I guess I'm not a "heavy" or "power" android smartphone user! Also, it sounds like Adguard isn't free?

It uses very little of anything on the phone.

EDIT: Never mind I found it. Not supported in the Market.
