What Is an Adblock and How Can It Protect You?

Browsing the internet today without protection is frustrating. An adblock or ad blocker is an essential utility that filters unwanted content from web pages, stopping intrusive banners, annoying pop-ups, and commercial video interruptions.

Much More Than a Simple Visual Filter

The engine makes asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints to keep the local perimeter firewall up to date. Its Address layer drops network requests before they enter your PC, saving bandwidth and protecting privacy.
