Francisco Villafana (ID: 00000023148a835b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/31/2017 I am pleased to learn about the techblocker extension. It does a superb job in blocking ads, this extension gives you great options, it allows you to customize your experience by giving you clearer options to chose the kind of ads to opt out in settings as well as within websites with safe ads. Very user friendly.

Hiyas Carr (ID: 000000ca78e5e4a2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2017 Works great, blocks the annoying ads I don't want to see. Pretty easy to use compared to the other ones out there. Highly recommend.

Nick (ID: 000000300c20b76e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2017 Wow really impressed with this new addition to the adblock scene. It has worked 100% of the time unlike some of the other adblockers I've installed that gave me issues. One cool thing I noticed is that for less scammy sites they actually show some ads but alow you to block them after, this let's you actually read the content of the site without hitting one of those frustrating pages that says you can't view the content. I guess they have some sort of filter for ads on premium sites. Great product!

Mark Bauman (ID: 0000007d33bc8f49) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/20/2017 Faster and more reliable compared to other ad blockers I've used or been using. Seems they work with websites directly and with sites that are known for safe ads, they show the ads but let you block them after the ads are live. I really like this as I don't like how Forbes kept blocking me from entering the site, you're less likely to be blocked or the site not functioning with this ad blocker. Thanks Techblocker!
