After being kicked out of Google Play in 2013, Adblock Plus has figured out a way to return. Instead of offering an app that blocks ads in your mobile browser, ABP is building its own browser based on Firefox for Android with ad-blocking tech built-in.

ABP announced the new effort on Wednesday with an open beta that anyone can join. Unfortunately it’s not exactly a hassle-free process, and at this writing the browser was still awaiting approval from Google before appearing in the Play Store.

When it does show up, you can get in on the beta by joining the ABP Browser Google+ community and then click the (at this writing, non-existent) Beta Opt-in button under the About section. The button will appear once Google approves the browser for Play.
