  • must not need root access

Target environment:

  • Android 4.3

  • I was about to say the same thing. I'd add that I had to do the same trick with the proxy server setup with a rooted phone with a 3rd party rom

  • Since this is just addressing the web browser aspect, you could also use a standard browser like FireFox for Android and install uBlock.
