What is Ad-Free?
Ad-Free is a software application designed to eliminate advertisements from displaying across the internet. It works by monitoring network traffic and using advanced heuristics to recognize advertising content, then blocking that content before it ever reaches the user.
The software can integrate into web browsers as an add-on or extension, providing ad blocking directly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and others. It also offers configurable mobile apps for blocking in-app ads on iOS and Android devices. By default it comes equipped to handle many of the most intrusive ad formats including banner ads, popups and video commercials.
Some key capabilities include:
- Prevents ads from using data and battery life
- Speeds up page load times by preventing ad calls
- Easy to customize block & allow lists for precision control
- Automatically updates filters to handle new ad techniques
- Provides a cleaner, less cluttered browsing experience
For users looking to strictly limit their exposure to ads withoutseeing unpaid brand messages, Ad-Free aims to comprehensively block ads across websites, apps and programs for an uninterrupted browsing experience.
