Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 15345279, 2 years agoLet's do a quick round what promises:
✓ Block annoying ads and popups - Allows static images "safe ads", redirection to landing pages and so on.
✓ Block video ads on sites like YouTube - NOT ANYMORE
✓ Speed-up loading time on pages - Using more filters just ads to load time and RAM usage.
✓ Reduce risk of "malvertising" infections - Yes
✓ Protect your privacy by stopping trackers from following your online activity - Sort of, with "Allow safe ads" - and is always active as a predetermined option - third party ads DO track you
✓ Block social media icons tracking - Same as above
So yeah, do not recommend anymore.
Used to be my blocker but now is just more of the same "we take a cut from advertisment networks".
