Is there a good program for this? I already tried Android Adblock but it doesn't work. Specifically, I'm looking for a program like Adblock Plus for Firefox.
AdFree or Adaway
I think I'm gonna go with Adaway, gonna have to root my phone first though. Thanks everyone.From what I gather, Ad Free lost effectiveness lately; whether it's because the host files weren't comprehensive enough or something I've not gotten to the bottom of. I swicthed to AdAway myself a little while ago.

Dolphin has a feature, a few browsers have it actually.I can't tell if Adaway is working or not. I'm still getting an iPhone 4S ad on Angry Birds.
Also, how can I trick websites to think that I'm using a PC not an Android? Specifically, I want to watch videos on www.nbc.com
Edit: More nitpicking. Adaway does seem to work on web browser after I installed Easylist and fanboy lists, but it doesn't actually remove the frames, it still displays a "Web page not available," box which are quite huge on some webpages.
Really now, it seems like very few people care about blocking ads. They must all have unlimited data plans.
Have you restarted your phone yet? It's usually recommended to restart the phone to refresh the DNS cache once you've updated the hosts file.Just wanted to add, I'm using the exact same subscriptions on Adaway as I am for Adblock plus on my computer and yet a bunch of ads are still showing up on my phone (on Gamefaqs, for example).
