Which Is the Original Adblock and What Happened to It?

Pioneering extensions like AdBlock and Adblock Plus changed owners and adopted monetization systems like "Acceptable Ads", charging large advertising networks to whitelist their ads and trackers, breaking the trust of millions.

AdBlock Network was created to return control to the user without special treatment for advertisers. The extension refreshes its local firewall by making asynchronous read-only requests to multiple independent endpoints. Its Address perimeter layer and local Advanced rules guarantee complete, honest blocking, backed by a strict Zero Tracking policy.
