Ads that can be blocked
This app effectively blocks ads on most websites. Many website ads are served from specific servers. We've compiled a list of these ad-serving servers. When you visit a website, ads coming from any server on this list will be blocked, preventing them from being displayed. This list is updated in the cloud every 24 hours.
Ads that cannot be blocked
However, on certain sites, such as YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram, ads are served from the same server as the content, such as articles or videos. In these cases, it becomes difficult to distinguish between the ads and the content. If ads and content are delivered from the same source, the app cannot distinguish between them, making it impossible to block such ads.
Ads that can't be blocked represent only a small fraction of the total web. Therefore, the majority of ads can be blocked, greatly improving your browsing experience. We kindly invite you to experience its comfort by browsing various websites.
Ads are not blocked. why?
Ads may be displayed if any of the following conditions apply:
- The blocking feature is turned OFF
- The ad is of a type that cannot be blocked
- Cached data from previously displayed ads is still present
- The device is experiencing temporary issues
Restarting your device can often resolve issues related to cache and temporary device problems. Please give it a try.
Why does this app require a VPN connection?
This app uses local VPN to block ads. Below is a brief explanation of the features and why you need it:
- DNS query filtering:
This app blocks ads by filtering DNS requests.
- Local VPN:
Android devices require a VPN service to filter DNS queries. However, the VPN used by this app is different from a typical VPN that connects to a VPN server. The VPN in this app is called "local VPN" and works entirely within the device without using a VPN server. Therefore, no data is sent to the VPN server.
- Privacy protection:
This app's local VPN does not collect or store any data.
DNS query filtering methods using local VPN are an effective way to block ads in all browsers.
