Barry Levine  says, “The Google Play app store has removed a newly popular ad blocking app for the Samsung mobile browser.

Adblock Fast, a mobile app in Google Play, works with the new Content Blocker Extension API that Samsung recently introduced in its mobile browser, which is installed as the default browser on its Android phones. The API supports third-party plugins that will block ads on the mobile web, and the free Adblock Fast was the first out the gate.

Adblock Fast is made by Rockship Apps, whose founder and CEO Brian Kennish told TechCrunch that Google cited a violation of a section of the Android Developer Distribution Agreement, which says in part:

“You agree that you will not engage in any activity with the Store, including the development or distribution of Products, that interferes with, disrupts, damages, or accesses in an unauthorized manner the devices, servers, networks”.
