How To Install Blokada For Firestick? (Useful 2023 Guide)

In this article, I will teach you how to install Blokada on Firestick and how to block ads on your Firestick using the Blokada app.

Please note that this tutorial is suitable for all FireStick, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV devices, and FireStick 4k devices.

Firestick ads are annoying because very often don’t let you do anything else. They are very distracting especially when you’re trying to watch a movie or TV show. Firestick ads also contain tons of data that could get your device infected with viruses or malware. They also slow down your internet speed which is frustrating if you’re trying to stream something online.

This is where Blokada kicks in to help you improve your viewing experience!

Blokada is an open-source ad blocker and privacy app that was created for Android-based devices and recently introduced support for IOS-based devices too. It’s actively developed and gets amazing support from many volunteers involved in the open-source community.

Blokada should be your app to go if you want to book all types of ads, trackers, or even malware. It can help you save money on using internet data and significantly speed up your device too.

Blokada Alternatives (What is Better Than Blokada?)

I may be biased, but I think the Blokada app is currently the best ad blocker for Android and Firestick. However, I’m aware that it may not be suitable for everyone that’s why I will try to list a few apps that are also worth considering

AdClear

AdClear is the most effective way to protect yourself from invasive advertising. The filter removes all ads and pop-ups before they can get in your browsing or app experience, making it faster and safer than ever! Exactly like Blokada, it’s also a non-root ad guard. You can find downloading instructions here: https://adclear.com/android/how-to-install

AdBlock

This adblocker was initially created for web browsers and its aim was to “provide a worry-free and distraction-free Internet experience for everyone”, which Adblock achieved pretty quickly. However, you may be not aware that AdBlock is using a GPL3 license that gives you green light to do whatever you want with the source code once you obtain it. That’s why there’s a version that can be easily downloaded on your Firestick device

That’s correct! Blokada 5 is not going to work with Firestick and FireTV, so if you want to use this app on these devices please stick to Version 4

Is Blokada IoS safe?

Yes, the Blokada app is totally safe to use on your IOS device. It doesn’t require you to do jailbreak and it’s available from Apple Store. Blokada is open-source software which means that its code is publicly accessible therefore can be trusted.
