AdsCleaner 3.0

Mar 05 2004

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.

So, the new release of AdsCleaner features not only increased ad blocker effectiveness, but also improved visual perception of its work.
