AdBlock Plus uses way too much RAM (>50MB). So it's out - but looked very good!

JRummy's Ad Blocker kept crashing on my 4.2.2 Droïd. So it's out.

============================================
Finally I settled with: AdAway . I did not use the build-in Webserver. Uses another 10MB of RAM...??

LATEST OFFICIAL BUILD / NEW OFFICIAL HOME PAGE FOR AdAway
---> http://sufficientlysecure.org/index.php/adaway/
============================================

So there you go, Devnullius's choice for blocking advertisements on Android.

Still open for suggestions,

Karma!

BONUS TOOL:
Airblocker 1.2.6.1
It detects all installed programs which have these type of advertisements and BLOCKS them in a SINGLE click... Gotta love it!
(!do not use later versions, they contain push advertisement :|)

REMOVE already installed ad block programs :)
- Ad Block REMOVER, Marty McFly.

AdAway: the official version the Developer released is still 2.3, but the newer build is just a build with dev's commits from the time period between the 2.3 release and June 13th.

Ad Blocker: previously part of Rom Toolbox Pro and still maintained by Rummy, it was the tool of choice for me. But... See the reply if I still consider it da' best ;p

Adblock Plus: most professional looking website! Blocks banners, pop-ups and video ads - even on Facebook and YouTube. Free!

WARNING: I do not know (yet) if these apps will work on Apps or just Browsers... But as far as I can tell, these are the best / most appreciated advertisement blockers... AdFree most popular with users, according to the comments :)

I uploaded / mirror 'ed all apk app files to: https://www.box.com/s/pnv2wx1x4sbvox9dg4id (updated July 1st, 2013)
