Summary

Domain Blocker is written to be as efficient as possible, in terms of speed (CPU) and memory (RAM).

The main idea is that there's little meaning to use predefined blocklist consisting of tens of thousands rules when you'll ever use only small percentage of it. In Domain Blocker you build the blocklist as you go along.

🚀 Hide ads ⭐️ by blocking advertisement domains you disable the display of some of those pervasive ads

🚀 Avoid tracking ⭐️ by blocking tracking domains you prevent the services to acquire information about your browsing behaviour

🚀 Load pages faster ⭐️ by blocking unnecessary domains (requests) you save traffic and make pages loading faster!

🚀 Fight procrastination ⭐️ just keep facebook.com out of the Whitelist and... do more!
