+## 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**.
+5. Select the filter list you would like to subscribe to below *Other Languages*.
+
+### Removing a filter list
+
+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**.
+5. Select the filter list you would like to remove below *Other Languages*.
+
+### Blocking all ads
+
+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).
+
+1. Open the Adblock Browser app.
+2. Tap the **Android menu icon** and select **Settings**.
+3. Tap **Ad blocking**.
+4. Below *Exceptions*, tap **Acceptable Ads**.
+5. Uncheck the box labeled **Allow some noninstrusive advertising**.
