Light Browser

Block ads, trackers and heavy third-party scripts to make pages lighter.

Light Browser makes web pages lighter, cleaner and faster by blocking ads and trackers. Ads, trackers and third-party scripts slow pages down and clutter them. Light Browser stops them before they load, so pages use less bandwidth and render faster. Features - Blocks ad and tracker requests. A built-in ruleset covers common ad networks, analytics trackers and heavy third-party scripts. It blocks them before they download. - Hides leftover ad spaces. Page elements that hold ads are hidden, including some site-specific cases such as YouTube, Yahoo, Finviz and others. - Live blocked count. The toolbar icon shows how many requests were blocked on the current page. - Details view. Click Details to see every host a page contacted and which ones were blocked. Privacy Light Browser collects no data. It doesn't track you, store your browsing history or send anything to a server. All blocking runs locally in your browser. Permissions - Access to all sites: needed to hide ad elements on the pages you visit. - Block content (declarativeNetRequest): the standard Chrome mechanism for blocking ad and tracker requests. - Active tab and scripting: used only when you click Details, to list the resources the current page loaded.
