Adblockers like AdBlock save traffic and speed up page loading, but sometimes interfere with the correct operation of sites. On Xiaomi smartphones with MIUI firmware, disabling the adblock may be necessary to view videos on YouTube, log in to banking applications or access content on news portals. In this article, we will analyze all the current methods, from standard browser settings to manual removal of system components.

The problem is complicated by the fact that MIUI integrates ad blocking at the system level, and third-party applications (for example, AdGuard or Blokada) can work in the background without being noticeable to the user.
