Summary

Ad Block Zen is a light weight ads blocker that packs a punch 🥊 It blocks ads (not all see below why) from thousands or sources and invasive popup ads that you get a lot on streaming websites. It also skips Youtube video ads.

Features: ⛔ Invasive Pop up blocker on most streaming and download sites. It will be blocked and removed immediately. 🚫 Ads Blocker from thousands of sources. 🔒 Social & Analytics Privacy - We block the analytics and major social trackers. ⭐ Stealth & light - we prevent websites from detecting our extension and we keep our code as light as possible. 📺 Youtube Ad Skipper - All ads are not skippable, but when possible we will auto skip Youtube video ads.

✓ Permissions: we need default permissions on every website to remove ads ✓ Acceptable ads policy : We no not remove all ads for 2 reasons :

  1. Not all ads are bad and when well targeted and not invasive it can serve its purpose
  2. If you remove ALL ads, then a lot of sites will block you and you will lose access. By remaining tolerant we go through anti-ad blockers.

🚀 About We are 100% self supported, we were not satisfied with the other extensions out there, they are not up to date, they fail to block all the popups or they get detected by anti ad blockers, so we decided to create our own blocking engine.
