ad-blocking software

Ad-blocking software is a tool that prevents unwanted advertisements from appearing while you browse the internet. It works by detecting and blocking ad content—such as banners, pop-ups, and video ads—before they load on your screen. This can improve your browsing experience by making pages load faster, reducing clutter, and protecting your privacy by preventing tracking scripts embedded in ads. While it helps create a cleaner and potentially more secure online environment, it’s important to use ad-blockers responsibly, as many websites rely on ad revenue to provide free content.
