This is a placeholder for research that I'm doing on FAB (Free Adblocker Browser). THIS IS ALL CHAOTIC because I'm dumping everything I was doing so that I can come back to it later on a different computer. I'll organize it later.

ChatGPT Dump:
The Google Play listing itself does not publicly show the original publication date anymore. It shows the current "Updated on" date, but not when the app was first published.
For this specific app (Free Adblocker Browser: Adblock, package ID com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser), third-party Play Store tracking services indicate that it has been available on Google Play since May 2015.
So the best-supported answer is:
- App: Free Adblocker Browser: Adblock
- Package ID:
com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser - First available on Google Play: May 2015 (according to AppBrain's historical Play Store tracking)
- Latest update shown on Play Store: December 10, 2025 (at the time of the indexed Play Store snapshot I found)
If you'd like the exact day it first appeared on Google Play (rather than just the month and year), I can try digging through older Play Store archives, APK history databases, and web archives to see whether a precise publication date is available.
Can you show me some visual snapshots of what this app or page looked like before June 11th, 2025?
I found a few historical snapshots and archived screenshots that predate June 11, 2025 for the app Free Adblocker Browser: Adblock (com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser).
Archived app screenshots
The app's AppBrain archive contains screenshots of the Play Store listing and indicates the app has been available since May 2015.
Here are some screenshots that appear to be from older versions of the app/listing:
What these show:
- A green-themed promotional screen emphasizing "Block Banner Ads" and ad blocking features.
- A later "FAB Adblocker Browser" marketing image highlighting blocking banner ads, video ads, and pop-ups.
- An older AppBrain listing image showing the app branding and store presentation.
Play Store page appearance before June 2025
AppBrain's archived Play Store mirror preserved:
- The app icon and branding.
- Multiple screenshots ("Screenshot 1 of 9" through "Screenshot 9 of 9").
- Historical download counts, ratings, and metadata.
- The note that the app had been on Google Play since May 2015.
For actual Play Store page snapshots
If you're looking for the exact Google Play page as it appeared on a specific date (for example, January 2024, June 2024, or early 2025), the best sources are:
- The Internet Archive Wayback Machine for the Play Store URL.
- Historical AppBrain snapshots.
- APK archive sites that preserve old screenshots and descriptions.
I can also dig up Wayback Machine captures of the Play Store listing from 2023–2025 and show the closest snapshots before June 11, 2025, including changes in icon, screenshots, description, ratings, and developer name.
