Ad Killer

Ad Killer is the cross platform extension to block banner ads in websites like YouTube, ESPN, MSN and many more.

Ad Killer is an open-source Chrome extension designed to block annoying banner ads on popular websites like YouTube, ESPN, MSN, and Independent. It works seamlessly across platforms by running quietly in the background, helping you enjoy a cleaner, distraction-free browsing experience.

The extension is currently in beta and supports toggling ad blocking on or off with ease. It occasionally requires refreshing the page (F5) to recognize newly loaded or scroll-down ads. While some ads may still appear due to site-specific implementations, Ad Killer continuously improves its detection capabilities. Your privacy is respected since the extension only scans website data to detect banners and does not use your data otherwise.

Ideal for users seeking a lightweight and effective ad blocker specifically targeting banner ads, Ad Killer invites feedback and support for ongoing development.
