@terterihei Have you tried StopAd?) We have nothing (I see, you like this word:) against ublock. But - we have users who moved from ublock to StopAd. Maybe they like that StopAd is an app (not an extension, like ublock) - you install it once and it blocks ads everywhere on your device. Maybe, because StopAd (unlike ublock) has 24/7 support and custom rules creating. Check it, if you want.

Thanks for replying, but: 1. why is an app better than an extension? 2. who even needs 24/7 support for adblocker? 3. ublock also does custom rules creating, umatrix also has it 2. where do you get your filter lists from? why shouldn't anyone think that you just copy the open source filter lists?

@terterihei Hey Eric, 1. because it blocks ads in all browsers at once and in other apps, obviously 2. The most interesting part - a lot, I tell you this as a person who regularly talks to our current early adopters directly. For example, ad blockers don't manage to block FB ads when FB ad serving algo changes, if something like this happens with StopAd, people adress the issue in the chat and it gets fixed in a few hours. 3. This is a really cool feature and it is especially helpful for advanced users. 4. We use combination of open-source filter list with our own filters and it works seemlesly in a synergy. Right now we're working hard to populate our own proprietary filter base with help of AI which is finding ads on sites with an active ad blocker+open-source filter on

@terterihei The main benefit of an app over an extension is blocking ads in apps that aren't browsers. That being said I'm not sure I want to add another monthly subscription.

Aloha, Product Hunters! Thanks, @davidrlroberts, for featuring us! I am Vladimir, General Manager at StopAd, and I’m happy to show you guys what we’ve created here and why. Like you, we live our lives online. We shop online, pay our bills online and have quick chats with friends. But over the past few years, we noticed that web surfing became way too cluttered. Instead of getting frustrated, we got to work. But we don’t want to tell you what we think you need to see online—“Hi, Chrome Ad Filter”—or what we were paid to show you— “Hello, ABP acceptable ads!” Instead, we give you a powerful tool to choose for yourself which ads you see and which you don’t. That’s why we created StopAd—an uncompromised ad blocker which stops all kinds of annoying ads and data trackers without exception. It also stops malware and phishing websites from stealing your personal data and halts browser-based cryptocurrency mining. Install StopAd once, and it’ll stop ads on: all major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox (forthcoming on Mac), Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari; YouTube and Facebook; games and applications, like Skype. But we are far from done with innovating the best ad blocker in the world! Give us a try and share your feedback here. I’ll be here with my team all day long monitoring your comments and questions—so fire up :) Thanks in advance! P.S. If you decide to try StopAd—grab a free additional month of StopAd PRO. Just follow this link: https://stopad.io/y/pro-special Thanks a bunch, and we look forward to your feedback!

works perfectly in all browsers on my Mac and in Safari on my iPhone, protecting my nervous system from the most dreadful thing in the world – mobile popups :)

also, they've got some awesome content on their blog about the advertising industry and the modern internet in general!

Pros:

blocks ads on all my devices

Cons:

I might miss an interesting ad (? highly doubtful)
