## Description

Block every ad. Bypass every restriction. One extension does both.

ShieldBrowse removes ads on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Twitch, and every other website — while also letting you access geo-blocked and censored sites through a built-in proxy.

306,000+ filter rules compiled from 16 community filter lists including EasyList, EasyPrivacy, AdGuard Base, AdGuard Tracking Protection, uBlock Origin filters, Peter Lowe's list, Fanboy Annoyances, and URLhaus Malware list.

<strong>What it blocks:</strong>
- YouTube ads: pre-roll, mid-roll, overlay, Shorts ads
- Website ads: banners, pop-ups, interstitials, sticky ads, video ads
- Trackers: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, 800+ tracking scripts
- Cookie consent popups: auto-dismisses GDPR and CCPA banners
- Crypto miners: blocks CoinHive, CryptoLoot, and 50+ mining scripts
- Fingerprinting: masks canvas, WebGL, and audio fingerprints
- Tracking parameters: strips utm_source, fbclid, gclid from URLs

<strong>Built-in VPN Proxy:</strong>
- HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxy protocols
- Manual mode (all traffic) and Auto mode (only blocked sites)
- WebRTC leak protection hides your real IP
- Works with NordVPN, Surfshark, PIA, Windscribe, ProtonVPN

<strong>9-layer stealth engine:</strong>
Most ad blockers get caught by anti-adblock detection. ShieldBrowse does not. Our stealth engine neutralizes FuckAdBlock, BlockAdBlock, Admiral, PageFair, and every known detection method before the site's scripts even load.

<strong>Reader Mode:</strong>
Extracts article content and renders it in a clean distraction-free view with automatic dark mode. Keyboard shortcut: Alt+Shift+R.

<strong>Privacy first:</strong>
Zero data collection. No account required. No acceptable ads program. Everything runs locally in your browser. Open source under MIT License.
