Adblock Fast

What Adblock Fast is

Adblock Fast is a free ad blocker for desktop computers and mobile browsers. It uses 12 optimized filtering rules derived from EasyList and Bluhell Firewall; the maker says the rules are designed to accelerate page loading while using less CPU, memory, and storage. On Android, it blocks ads in Samsung Internet 4.0 and later, and on iOS it blocks ads in Safari. It does not block ads in other apps on those platforms. The maker lists Windows 7 and later support and a Chrome desktop extension, while Opera support is marked discontinued. In Chrome, a toolbar control lets users unblock ads for a site, with the choice remembered when they return. Mobile users can choose the default Fast rules or an experimental Faster mode with more comprehensive, up-to-date rules. The maker says that mode anonymously crawls common websites using background bandwidth without cookies or other personal information. The blocker intercepts HTTP traffic and injects CSS and JavaScript into visited pages to block requests and hide ad elements. Its source code is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or later, subject to listed exceptions.
