    "The single best adblocker exisiting."

    Posted 2024-03-19

    Pros: Blocks all ads.

    When you watch through the settings menu you can disable so many things. For example: Deactivate ads and the AdBlock banner altogether.

    Cons: Ui could be overwhelming for new users (settings menu).

    Overall: No other Adblock has this amount of work and quality.
    It's free, open source, and has a great community, problems are fixed in less than 24 hours and leaked ads will get fixed instantly, you can even filter out elements from the website yourself.
