REMOVE already installed ad block programs :) - Ad Block REMOVER, Marty McFly. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.av1rus.adblockremover)
THE BEST / MOST KNOWN AD BLOCK PROGRAMS: - http://adfree.bigtincan.com/ AdFree: http://adfree.bigtincan.com/about.php - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753 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. - http://jrummy16.com/jrummy/ad-blocker/Ad-Blocker-JRummy-Apps.apk 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 Source: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=517217961658280&set=a.336261666420578.76213.336227679757310&type=1 - http://adblockplus.org/en/android 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 :)

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 :|) DOWNLOAD here: http://android.m.brothersoft.com/airblocker___airpushblock-349876.html http://android.brothersoft.com/airblocker___airpushblock-349876.html
