Tired of getting “tracked” online?  You know the feeling —  talking about something or looking for something online, and now all of a sudden you see ads for it everywhere.  It’s creepy.  And invasive.

On any Android-based device, all of your data is now tracked, stored or accessed — Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, no device is immune.  Last year,  hackers stole personal data every 39 seconds, with victims of fraud losing on average $10,000 each. This is set to skyrocket in 2025.

Ads have become sophisticated and invasive: popups, YouTube ads, ads randomly playing audio that you can’t locate, and ads deploying tracking scripts to gather your data.  It’s a struggle to watch videos or browse online without having memory-hogging ads thrown at all corners of our screens.

If you haven’t seen the posts on TikTok, X or Facebook by now,  TotalAdblock has gone viral, and for good reason.  It’s a sneaky little app buried deep down in Google Play, which has quietly amassed over 300,000 reviews, and rocketed to Trustpilot.com’s #1 ranked smartphone security app.

TotalAdBlock is currently offering a $2 promo, and installs in seconds.   (And honestly after spending over $1,000 on a loaded Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra only to watch it get super slow after just a few weeks, it was a small price to pay).   Shortly after install, it went to work removing, pop-ups,  banners, YouTube ads and tracking scripts on social media with the click of a button.

TotalAdBlock will check your Samsung or other Android-based device to see if your personal information has been breached on the dark web, it will remove all website tracking cookies and make speed and storage optimizations.  It also flags and blocks all phishing and fraud attempts with its real-time database of threats.

In short, it deploys a virtual barricade around your smartphone that “Big Advertising” is lobbying against.  After all, if they can’t reach you, they can’t advertise to you.

There is no telling how long this app will remain live or how long their $2 promo deal will last.  The promo also comes with 3 additional licenses for you to load up on your desktop, laptop or other smartphones.
