About

An ad-blocking extension, which replaces ads with pictures of cats. You can use CatBlock as a standalone ad-blocking extension as well! Available for Google Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox desktop browsers. We've used the freely available code from AdBlock and taken all those ads you don't see, and replaced them with pictures of cats! We, the founders of this AdBlock fork, all have experience with the AdBlock project and have regularly contributed to the project in the past. Like AdBlock before us, the block is 100% open-source, licensed under the GNU GPLv3. Feel free to check out our code at GitHub. We regularly check our support site for any problems or questions you might have. We also have a public Discord server for anyone to join and get help with the block! If you'd rather not see cats, you can use any other set of images you want from Flickr!

About

You can run Pi-hole in a container, or deploy it directly to a supported operating system via our automated installer. Our intelligent, automated installer asks you a few questions and then sets everything up for you. Once complete, move on to step 3. Configure your router’s DHCP options to force clients to use Pi-hole as their DNS server, or manually configure each device​ to use the Pi-hole as their DNS server. By pairing your Pi-hole with a VPN, you can have ad-blocking on your cellular devices, helping with limited bandwidth data plans. Instead of browser plugins or other software on each computer, install Pi-hole in one place and your entire network is protected. Network-level blocking allows you to block ads in non-traditional places such as mobile apps and smart TVs, regardless of hardware or OS. Since advertisements are blocked before they are downloaded, network performance is improved and will feel faster.
