Adblock Fast Extension

Adblock Fast is a faster, open-source ad blocker.

Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their speed and hog your computer’s CPU, memory, and storage. Adblock Fast runs a mere 12 optimized filtering rules to accelerate pages 8x more but consume 6x less computing resources than other ad blockers do.

See Adblock Fast’s site for source code, benchmarks, support, and frequently asked questions.

Sefa Çiçek (ID: 00000048a2e8cd91) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/06/2019 Herhangi bir ayar menüsü sunmuyor. Filtrelerin ne olduğunu göremiyorsunuz. Bazı sitelerde engellenmeyen reklamları sağ tıklayarak engellemek için bile seçenek sunmuyor. Gereksiz bir yazılım. Kullandığı bellek miktarı da 43.000 MB civarı. Bunu kurana kadar Nano Adblocker kurun daha iyi. Nano adblocker 50.000 MB kullanıyor. Ama filtre konusunda her türlü reklam engelleyiciyi geride bırakır.
