What are Ad Blockers?
Ad blockers are filtering programs that block, modify, or remove certain content elements from websites based on rules found in filter lists. They typically remove ads, cookie notices, trackers, analytics scripts, and other annoying elements that can degrade the browsing experience or violate users' privacy. This not only improves the browsing experience but also increases security.
If you use an ad blocker, you should be aware that this may cause revenue loss for the owners of visited websites. Advertisers pay the site owner after ads are downloaded, but if this number drastically decreases, the site will be left without revenue and may even go bankrupt. If you find the content offered by the site valuable, consider disabling the ad blocker on that site, or supporting the operator in other ways.
