+## Adblock Browser for Android |
+ |
+Adblock Browser supports Android OS versions 2.3 (Gingerbread) and higher. |
+ |
+### Installing Adblock Browser for Android |
+ |
+1. Go to the Google Play Store and search for **Adblock Browser**. |
+2. Tap **Install**. |
+ |
+### Adding a filter list |
+ |
+Adblock Browser requires filter lists to block ads. A default filter list - EasyList - based on your browser's language settings is automatically activated when you install Adblock Browser. It blocks ads from the most popular (often English language-based) websites. However, it does not block ads on less popular national websites. For example, if you live in Germany you should subscribe to the national German filter list. |
+ |
+**Tip**: As a recommendation, you should avoid adding too many filter lists to Adblock Browser. Adding too many filter lists slows down the ad blocker and, therefore, your browsing. |
+ |
+1. Open the Adblock Browser app. |
+2. Tap the **Android menu icon** and select **Settings**. |
+3. Tap **Ad blocking**. |
+4. Below *Blocking*, tap **Ad blocking**. |

+If you choose to block all ads, Adblock Plus will block annoying ads *and* ads that are considered nonintrusive. To learn more about the Acceptable Ads initiative, please visit the [Acceptable Ads webpage](https://adblockplus.org/en/acceptable-ads). |
