What are the downsides of using an ad blocker?

Using legacy or poorly optimised ad blockers can cause websites to fail to load properly, display as blank pages, or trigger intrusive anti-adblock warnings that completely disrupt your browsing experience.

Avoiding bypasses and latency

Traditional drawbacks occur when blockers manipulate HTML code in real-time. AdBlock Network avoids this by operating at the perimeter layer. The local firewall is updated via read-only asynchronous requests to multiple independent endpoints. Its Advanced layer intercepts logical network calls before they are initiated, preventing anti-adblock scripts from triggering and breaking the website.
