In addition to using an ad-blocker app, you can block ads on your Tablet using a web browser. You can use popular browsers with built-in ad-blockers like Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. Access the browser’s settings and turn on the ad-blocker feature to enable the ad-blocker.
Use A Faster Browser
Different browsers have different speeds. On my Samsung galaxy tab, Chrome always performed faster than Microsoft Edge. If your current browser is not performing well, try switching to a faster one.
Stop Downloading During Browsing
Avoid browsing while you are downloading something. Mainly, When you are downloading a large file, it takes all your internet speed. To avoid slow internet, don’t perform internet-heavy tasks simultaneously.

While browsing, browsers store temporary files and images that can slow down the internet connection. Clearing the browser’s cache can help speed up the internet connection.

Check For Malware
If your Tablet is malware infected, it can slow down your internet connection and make your device vulnerable to attack. So, always use a good mobile security app like Malwarebytes, Bitdefender Mobile Security, etc.
