What is an Adblocker?

An adblocker is a software that allows you to browse the web without being interrupted by annoying pop-up ads, banner ads, sticky ads, interstitial ads, or auto-playing video ads. This software works as stand-alone programs, customized services or extensions in a web browser or an operating system.

Why do you need an Adblocker?

An adblocker blocks intrusive ads from webpages, allowing you to view the content you’re interested in without distractions. Apart from cleaner-looking web pages, you also enjoy added privacy benefits, because you're not being tracked and profiled for ads. Additionally, you’ll be able to load websites faster, with lower resource wastage (bandwidth, CPU, memory, etc.).
