Hashimoto Taki Ki - Asia Nexus 7, Version 1.0 Nov / 28/2012
Not bad, but

It seems to be incompatible with some applications, and it will be mocked by Plume's TL reading when the filter is enabled. When the filter is on, the twitter client "Plume for Android" fails to get statuses.

Atsushi Morioka - Nov 26, 2012 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus, version 1.0
Still more from now

I tried installing, but it seems to be too functional. I hope to be able to register arbitrary (as Japanese specifications) Filter as soon as possible. Experience with Firefox is also outstanding and I expect it in the future. Postscript: Wow, I eat too much memory ... It is nearly 70 MB resident. Terminals with less memory may be tough. Continue to use for a while and see how it looks.

Note that Adblock Plus can not be used for terminals that can not set proxy settings.
