Less Ads, Less Time Wasted
Ads Blocking Features.
Ads of all kind have already become part and parcel of the Internet, and we have to put up with this fact. Some people earn their living with advertising, some promote their products or services. But one thing is certain: as soon as we enter the Internet, we instantly feel the aggressive drive of advertising. We are constantly distracted by the unnecessary advertisement information we do not need – with an aim to make us visit the advertiser’s site. There are various techniques for doing this. One of the most popular is the use of pop-up windows and banner ads of all kinds. As its name suggests, AdsCleaner is designed primarily to help you get rid of the annoying banner ads when browsing web pages. The program allows you to efficiently block the unwanted pop-ups and cuts off the graphics from other domains easily without requiring any additional configuration steps. The above-mentioned feature increases the effectiveness of ad blocking in the Internet, ‘cause sometimes “The Black list” and blocking by dimensions are not enough for quality ad blocking.
The banner blocking efficiency is ensured by the simple and open ads detection mechanism. For instance, AdsCleaner features a built-in blacklist that stores all the world's major banner-generating sites. This list can be easily replenished with new entries, right from the web page you are browsing. You can select a number of banners on a particular web page with your mouse and use the right-click context menu to add the source sites to the system blacklist. When you load the page next time the blacklisted banners won't appear.
When working with AdsCleaner a user can send a message about non-blocked banners to our on-line service. This ability is accessible from the context menu of MS IE, called in by right click. Once the message is handled, the URL of Ads generator (or its mask) is added to ads blocker “black” list, which is accessible through our server. Ads blocker “black” list would be regularly checked for urgency, and update automatically if needed . Blacklists can be imported and exported, which makes it easy and convenient to share them with your friends and fellow workers. However, sometimes a blacklist of 'bad' web addresses alone is not enough. So AdsCleaner can additionally be configures to ban the banners loaded for other domains, which can improve the banner blocking efficiency by a magnitude.
In addition to the possibility of blocking ads by URL-masks included into black list, AdsCleaner has obtained the ability to block banners, which have specific dimensions. The application would block not only the ads of common dimensions (468x60, 88x31, etc), but of any other dimensions predefined by user. Moreover, to provide more flexible options for this feature, a user can set a range for dimensions that would allow blocking the banners whose dimensions differ a bit from standards.
When blocking the loading of banners in compliance with user settings, AdsCleaner can either cut the banner and “shrink” the page area that has been occupied by the ad or change the banner with predefined small text block. Both options are useful depending on the situation. When a text block is put instead of the banner, the web page integrity is not broken – i.e. the page is shown “as is”, but without ads. In its part, the option to shrink the page is useful for the pages that are overloaded with banners, when on the one hand they contain minimum information, and on the other they are stretched to several screens, making their viewing impossible. By shrinking the page AdsCleaner can solve this problem and represent the page in a more compact view. Note, you’ll see only the useful information. Such a flexible approach gives user a possibility to work with web pages even more comfortably.
The program uses smart techniques to automatically tell the unwanted pop-up windows from the necessary pop-ups that appear when you intentionally click a specific link. Sometimes the unwanted pop-ups blocking feature can turn to be nearly a life-saver, when you bump into a 'bad' web site by chance. Many web surfers surely experienced the frustrating situation when some web page virtually bombarded you with numerous pop-ups of dubious value and you could do nothing about it. The only solution sometimes is to reboot your computer, which is exactly the type of thing you'd want to avoid. И такое, вряд ли кого обрадует. With AdsCleaner such things just don't happen. On the other hand, if you would like to turn this useful feature off for whatever reason, you can always easily do it right from within the active Internet Explorer window.
