CatBlock

CatBlock

CatBlock is like an ad blocker, but instead of blocking ads it shows you pictures of cats (configurable)

What is CatBlock?
CatBlock is a unique ad-blocking extension for Chrome that not only blocks all ads by default but also substitutes them with pictures of cats. Built on the original AdBlock framework, CatBlock offers ad filtration coupled with a veritable gallery of felines to brighten up your browser experience. It provides defense against malware on all sites, and gives the user the choice to function like a usual ad blocker. Let CatBlock add some fun to your browsing by replacing intrusive ads with amusing or pleasing images.

Summary
Analyze keywords

CatBlock blocks ALL ads (and replaces them with cats) and malware on all websites by default! We also don't participate in the Acceptable Ads program.

CatBlock is built on top of the original AdBlock, with an ability to replace ads by cats (or whatever you want). You can also disable replacing ads by cats, so CatBlock can work as a standard ad blocking extension.

We hope you will enjoy our extension :)
