Zovo Shield - Block Ads and Trackers

Block ads and trackers, see each site’s privacy grade, auto-decline cookie banners, and get a weekly tracker digest.

Block ads and trackers everywhere, and actually see what got blocked. Zovo Shield is a wide-spectrum content blocker built on a proven MV3 declarative-net-request engine, with four extras on top: a per-site privacy grade in the popup, one-click cookie-banner auto-decline, a library of element-zapper presets, and a weekly tracker digest. Open source (GPL-3.0), local-only, no account. PER-SITE PRIVACY GRADE The popup grades the site you're on, A to F, from the tracker pressure it saw: third-party requests observed, trackers blocked, and the top tracker domains. No guessing: the numbers come from your own browsing, stored only on your device. COOKIE BANNERS, AUTO-DECLINED One toggle turns on curated rule packs that dismiss cookie-consent banners for you. It works alongside the blocking engine, not instead of it. ZAP LIBRARY The element zapper you know, with presets: one click hides newsletter modals, chat bubbles, sticky share bars, app-install banners, follow-you videos and more across popular sites. Applied packs become regular custom filters you can edit or remove anytime, and you can export or import your own zap rules as JSON. WEEKLY TRACKER DIGEST A local-only recap of the last 7 days: trackers blocked per day, the top tracker domains, and the sites with the most tracker pressure. Nothing ever leaves your browser.

Audit every line or rebuild it yourself. PRIVACY The extension collects nothing and sends nothing about your browsing anywhere. Statistics are computed and stored locally. The only network calls are filter-list updates and, only if you choose to enter a supporter key, one licence-verification request. Privacy policy: https://zovo.one/privacy-policy PERMISSIONS, AND WHY - declarativeNetRequest: blocks ads and trackers without reading page content - storage, unlimitedStorage: saves your settings, zap rules, and local statistics - activeTab, scripting, userScripts: applies cosmetic filters and the zapper on sites you choose - alarms, notifications: runs the weekly digest and licence re-verification - webRequest, declarativeNetRequestFeedback: powers the per-site statistics and the matched-rules logger - offscreen: renders blocking internals that need a document contextZovo Shield blocks ads and trackers, shows you each site's privacy grade, auto-declines cookie banners, and sends you a weekly digest of what it stopped, so browsing is faster, cleaner and more private. Most pages are heavier with tracking than with content. Shield strips the junk using efficient rules, so pages load quickly and quietly, and you can see exactly what was blocked. What you get - Fast ad and tracker blocking using Chrome's efficient declarative rules, with no slowdown. - A per-site privacy grade so you can tell at a glance how clean or how noisy a site is. - Automatic cookie-banner handling that declines non-essential tracking for you. - A live counter of ads and trackers blocked on the current page. - A weekly tracker digest summarising what Shield caught and where. - Simple allowlisting, so you can support sites you trust with one click. How it works Install Shield and it starts blocking immediately using maintained rule lists. Open the popup on any site to see its grade and what was blocked, or allow the site if you prefer. Cookie prompts are dismissed for you, and a weekly summary keeps you informed. Privacy first Shield does its blocking with static rules and does not read the content of your pages. It does not track you, does not require an account, and keeps its counts on your device. It exists to remove tracking, not add it. Free to use, with an optional Pro upgrade for custom rules, extra lists and detailed reports. Core blocking is free. Install Zovo Shield and take back a faster, cleaner, more private web.
