3 effective tools for blocking ads in the browser

Advertising is an unpleasant phenomenon that browser users constantly encounter while surfing the web. Fortunately, there are a lot of tools that can make web surfing much more comfortable thanks to the ability to block ads on the Internet.

Today we will look at products that allow you to block ads in various browsers. Most of the tools presented are browser add-ons that will not take up much space on your computer. However, there is also software that will significantly surpass extensions in functionality.

Adblock Plus

The ancestor of add-ons for blocking ads in the browser.

Allows you to effectively block various types of advertising in the browser, as well as track blocking statistics. The add-on effectively eliminates both advertising banners and pop-ups. Moreover, with it you will not see advertising when watching a video.

AdBlock

According to the developers of this solution, when creating their own product they were inspired by Adblock Plus.

According to the author, this is the simplest, most convenient and effective solution for blocking advertising on the Internet, which not only effectively copes with its tasks, but also has a fairly convenient interface with which you can manage the operation of blocking filters and disable the blocker for a specific link or an entire domain, and also track the number of ads blocked on the current site.

Adguard

Adguard, as an ad blocking tool, is available in two variations: a browser add-on and software. I would like to talk specifically about the second option for the reason that, unlike browser add-ons, it blocks ads not after loading, but at the code level, which allows you to not only effectively eliminate any type of advertising, but also significantly reduce the weight of the page.

Moreover, Adguard can block ads not only in web browsers, but also in other programs installed on your computer. But unlike the two previous options, here you will already have to part with some money.

Each of the proposed options allows you to effectively eliminate advertising in the browser available on your computer. Which decision to decide on is up to you, based on your personal preferences.
