Samsung to launch ad blocking app, Google shoots it down
Samsung had planned the launch of an ad blocking browser on Google Play a few weeks ago
Samsung announced that they would be launching a new internet browser that has the ability to block ads while surfing the internet. This app was to launch on Google Play and the app was supposed to be for Samsung Galaxy users only. However, the app did not get a green signal from Google when it was being reviewed by the team.
According to Google, the app by Samsung was violating the Developer Distribution Agreement. Google has disabled the app and has put it on hold. Additionally, they sent a letter to Samsung’s developers at Rocketship Apps stating that they have reviewed it and it violates certain guidelines.
As for now, there is no information about further development and workarounds from Samsung’s team.
