JSK Shield
JSK Shield
JSK Shield is an open-source ad and tracker blocker for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, licensed under GPL-3.0. It blocks ads, tracking scripts and consent-banner clutter using EasyList, EasyPrivacy and cookie-notice filters, and works the moment you install it - no account, no configuration. Most blockers ask you to trust them; JSK Shield lets you check. It runs entirely on the user's device, so there is no analytics and no telemetry, and there is no paid allowlist - no advertiser can pay to be let through. Where it differs is breakage. Every other blocker shows a count. JSK Shield shows the request that was blocked, the exact filter rule that matched, and the list that rule came from, then allows that one request on that one site in a click. When a page breaks, guided recovery offers the least destructive fix first.

Pie Adblock
Pie Adblock
Pie is a browser-based platform centered around its main product, Pie Adblock, a free extension designed to give users greater control over their online experience by blocking intrusive advertisements while offering optional, user-controlled engagement with select ads. It removes a wide range of ads in real time, including pre-roll video ads on platforms like YouTube, mid-roll ads on Twitch, pop-ups, banners, cookie prompts, and other disruptive elements, resulting in a cleaner and faster browsing experience. It also includes advanced features such as bypassing anti-adblock pop-ups, suppressing cookie notices, and maintaining continuous updates to ensure ads are effectively blocked even as platforms evolve. A key differentiator is its customizable approach: users can whitelist specific websites or creators to support them while still blocking ads elsewhere, tailoring how and where ads appear.

PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause Downtime

Threshold-based alerts flag problems early, so your team can act before users notice, not after.

Reactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

    "The single best adblocker exisiting."

    5 out of 5 stars 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.
