The better the application, the harder it is to describe its functionality. AdMuncher offers a wide range of various options, most of which are meant solely for fine tuning of ads blocking. Considering the number of provided options, this application is likely to be the leader. However, most of its features are not employed by regular users and therefore they rather clutter up the inconvenient interface, which is already uninformative as it is. Even if in rare cases claimed by users, the actual benefit is not that big. For example, how often would you need to disable the option for changing the color of the scrollbar in the browser window? I assume, not that often. Besides, by changing the color, website developers create the general appearance of the page, and disabling it affects the thought-out design. But it is not only this option that matters… The consideration of similar unnecessary features can be omitted completely. Instead, let’s turn to the description of really important functions of the software.
Certainly, it contains quite a comprehensive black list of advertising addresses. The application fearlessly copes with blocking the banners from the list, but for one only thing, which appears to be a common drawback for all blockers considered: it is impossible to edit the internal black list. However, it does allow adding new addresses and automated updating. And despite missing functionality for editing, the list can still be looked through. AdMuncher processes banners again and again with great pleasure, sorting them by size. Unfortunately, like the previous blocker, it turned out to be too selective when picking out suitable sizes, and there is no opportunity to influence its choice. In other words, the application provides no options for setting additional sizes for ads cutting. An appreciable advantage of the application is its potential for sewing pages anew, without banners and empty patches. Users are free to choose the way of displaying pages: either with or without empty spaces in place of ads. I did not notice any serious problems with pop-up blocking – quite a good variety of settings is provided.
Having rambled in the application menus for some time, I found the statistics of the blocked ads, which turned out to be rather poor: it contained the number of blocked units without any further description. A pleasant discovery was that the developers hit upon the idea to count the traffic saved by the application. To my regret, the first impression was spoiled by the fact that the saved traffic was counted by multiplying the number of blocked units by 8. In other words, the developers assumed that each banner or a pop-up window makes up 8 KB. For sure, such information cannot be treated as reliable.
Resume: Pop-up windows – 5, banners – 4 design – 3, additional functions – 3
A very good one, but for its design and some serious disappointing inaccuracies, it could claim to be the leader. Advantages: thorough tuning of ads blocking functions.
Moreover, the advertising placed in the most noticeable parts of the page distracts us from reading the required text. Besides, downloading numerous banners is a useless waste of time and money. As a rule, advertising is very bulky, which affects the speed of downloading a page. So if you are using a dial-up connection on the pay-per-time basis, your expenses increase proportionally to the growing page load time. And if you pay for the actually sent and received information (i.e. for traffic), the advertising amounting to quite an impressive volume will devour a considerable sum of money when settling the accounts. All in all, the noise in the form of unwanted advertising exhausts the traffic and increases the headache. Banners and banners and banners... How to deal with them? pop up blocker.
AdsCleaner and other programs:
AdsNoMore
It happened so that I installed AdsNoMore just after AdsGone. The first thing that came to my mind was: this is the same application but without those obvious flaws. The design turned out to be quite good without being superfluous tawdry. The advantages of the tool are the possibility to block Flash ads and update the black list directly from the developer’s website. In all other respects, AdsNoMore still reminds of AdsGone both by the quality of the application and by most of its functions. The only functional difference is the lack of redundant features like assigning hotkeys and protection from spy software. I personally failed to understand the meaning of setting a password for ads blocking, especially taking into account the multi-user nature of Windows, therefore I tend to consider this option totally useless. Thus, lack of the above features can hardly be a disadvantage of AdsNoMore. In the result, having taken a closer look on the application, I concluded that this blocker provides nothing fundamentally new and useful, except for a pair of options.
AdsCleaner ( pop up blocker )
Being guided by the criteria listed above, I made bold to declare the absolute winner of the analysis. As you may already guess, it is AdsCleaner. To be furnished with proof and to ground my choice, I decided to provide a detailed description of all its major features.
In short: this is the only tool with multilanguage support, including Russian. As far as the design is concerned, AdsCleaner found the golden mean between the convenient functionality and attractive appearance.
