Ad Blacker

Blacks out ads with solid rectangles instead of blocking them, avoiding anti-adblock detection.

Most ad blockers work by blocking ads from loading. That sounds sensible, but it creates two problems: # Websites can easily detect it and start nagging you about disabling your ad blocker. # Your ad blocker starts nagging you as well. Ad Blacker takes a different approach. Instead of blocking ads, it simply redacts them in black. The ad scripts still load normally, so the page thinks everything is fine — but you never see the adverts. Because nothing is actually blocked, this avoids the usual anti-adblock detection tricks that many sites now use. --- What it does * Blacks out ads using EasyList cosmetic filters * Catches self-hosted ads with heuristic detection * Handles dynamically inserted ads as pages load * Lets you click a black rectangle to reveal it if you want * Supports per-site whitelisting * Global and per-site enable/disable * Weekly EasyList filter updates --- What it doesn't do It doesn't block network requests, interfere with page scripts, or try to fight websites. It just makes the ads invisible. Simple - no distractions negatively affecting your mood or concentration
