The Content Blocker API, with which the now-removed Adblock Fast app works, has recently been introduced by Samsung in its Samsung Internet Browser that is installed as the default browser on company's Android-powered handsets.

Kennish further added that the supposedly-violated 'Section 4.4' informs app developers that they cannot release those apps on the Play store which cause interference to "the devices, servers, networks, or other properties or services of any third-party including, but not limited to, Android users, Google or any mobile network operator."
