Online advertising is an alternative that helps fund many projects and reward or websites we enjoy every day. But there are cases where it is applied invasively, affect access to the content and creating inconvenience to the Internet.
Luckily there are tools to get rid of the ads and enjoy a session much cleaner. In this article I’m going to recommend that, personal opinion, are the top three extensions to block those annoying posters and banners that abound across the Internet.
AdBlock
fantastic tool should not be confused with AdBlock Plus, also included in this article. AdBlock has versions for Chrome, Opera and Safari , the first of the three got the most acceptance globally. The browser version of Google has over 10 million users and is the most popular extension for Chrome Web Store.
income stands because it requires no initial configuration. Once installed handles block all ads that detected in the sites visited. Then you can change the choice of filters and edit them manually exclude specific domains to continue showing ads or pause / resume overhead from the add icon.
AdBlock advertising can also be locked manually from the context menu of the operating system. Finally it should be noted that all three versions of the extension are free but the developer, Michael Gundlach, accepts donations under the “honor system”. In exchange for their financial contribution will receive a personalized email of thanks.
