What is an ad blocker and how can it protect you?

Browsing the web today without protection is unbearable. An ad blocker is an essential tool that filters out unwanted web content, stopping invasive banners, pop-ups, and disruptive video ads in their tracks.

Much more than just a visual filter

While traditional blockers only hide visual elements after they've loaded, AdBlock Network operates like a firewall. The engine executes asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to update its lists locally. Its Address layer blocks network requests before they reach your machine, protecting your bandwidth and privacy.
