We think it has the right combination of ease-of-use, on-and-off toggling, whitelisting capabilities, and hands-off management that makes it a tool that anyone can pick up and use. Plus, there are a ton of things you can do with it beyond just blocking ads. It stops you from visiting known malware-hosting domains, and also disables third-party tracking cookies and scripts. Even so, it puts the power into your hands to decide which sites are worth supporting and which are just too annoying to use without an ad-blocker.ĪdBlock Plus (Firefox/Chrome/Safari) blocks banner ads, pop-up ads, rollover ads, and more. Plus, blocking ads can has a very real impact on the site and the people who work on it (like us here at Lifehacker). However, with great power comes great responsibility: If you don’t know how to use them, these tools can break the sites you read, rendering them unusable until you figure out what to allow and what to block. They can block ads on the sites you visit and kill third-party scripts and widgets that send your data to who knows where. Ad and script blockers give you control over your browsing experience.
