## Description

Adblock Fast is a high-performance, open-source ad blocker designed exclusively for Samsung Internet 4.0 and higher. It blocks intrusive ads efficiently without rooting your device or needing a browser change. Utilizing optimized filtering rules, it accelerates web page loading while reducing CPU, memory, and storage usage compared to other ad blockers.

Unlike other ad blockers, Adblock Fast never allows "acceptable ads," ensuring a completely ad-free browsing experience. Installation is straightforward: after adding the extension, follow the in-app instructions to enable ad blocking. The extension leverages Samsung Internet's public content-blocking API for seamless integration. Adblock Fast is free to use, and its source code is openly available for modification on GitHub, promoting transparency and customization. For updates and support, users can connect via their official Facebook and X (Twitter) channels.
