JSK Shield
JSKAPPS
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.Starting Price: Free; Family plan from $3.99 -

Servo
Servo
Servo’s mission is to provide an independent, modular, embeddable web engine, which allows developers to deliver content and applications using web standards. Servo is written in Rust, and shares code with Mozilla Firefox and the wider Rust ecosystem. Since its creation in 2012, Servo has contributed to W3C/WHATWG web standards by reporting specification issues and submitting new cross-browser automated tests, and core team members have co-edited new standards that have been adopted by other browsers. As a result, the Servo project helps drive the entire web platform forward while building on a platform of reusable, modular technologies that implement web standards. Pre-built nightly snapshots allow developers to try Servo and report issues without building Servo locally. Now that we’ve released our first developer preview, we’ll be investing in formal security audits and improving our security practices using both existing libraries and Rust.Starting Price: Free -

SponsorBlock
SponsorBlock
Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about using a privacy-preserving query system. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe, and skipping to the point with highlight. To prevent one submission with a lot of votes never being able to be replaced, I decided to use a weighted random distribution based on the equation on the right. This formula makes the first few votes matter a lot more than votes on a submission that already has a lot of votes. This gives newly submitted segments a better chance of being sent out to users to get votes. So, most users will get the best submission, but some users will get lesser votes submissions so that they can either be upvoted or downvoted.Starting Price: Free -

Bluhell Firewall
Diego Casorran
Get a faster browsing experience by blocking nasty web resources using Bluhell Firewall, the lightweight ad-blocker, and the tracking/privacy protector. All we know is the availability of popular AdBlockers lying around, but frankly, these are too bloated with several features and options which most of us don't use beyond the defaults. So, this extension was made for those of us who don't care about all that stuff but do about just getting rid of all the nasty resources being loaded by websites. This is a lightweight extension (ie, 30KB compared to ~700KB of other popular adblockers), which was made with performance in mind. No configurable options, subscriptions, additional features, etc. You can turn the extension on/off at any time by clicking the toolbar button (Fx Desktop) or touching the menu item entry (Fx for Android).

Nobody really bothers about domain name resolution since it works automatically behind the scenes and is complex to understand. Most computer software uses the operating system's DNS resolver that usually queries the configured ISP's DNS server using UDP protocol. This way works well for most people but, your ISP can see and control what website you can visit even when the website employs HTTPS security. Not only that, some ISPs can redirect, block or inject content into websites you visit even when you use a different DNS provider like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS.Starting Price: Free -
