CrossBlock - CrossBlock — real-time ad, banner & tracker blocker

CrossBlock blocks ads, trackers, and pop-ups in real time. It stops known ad/tracker networks at the network level, strips header and footer banners (even ones that load late or resize into place), removes cookie-consent walls and newsletter overlays, and blocks YouTube ads with auto-skip and overlay removal. Pause it on any site, add your own custom blocked domains, and see a live count of what's been blocked — all with a lightweight, privacy-friendly design.

Hey everyone! 👋 I built CrossBlock because I was tired of ad blockers that either did too little (missed banners that load in late or resize into place) or too much (broke half the sites I use). So I made something lightweight and focused: 🚫 Blocks ads, trackers, and pop-ups/pop-unders in real time — including ones that load after the page does 📰 Strips header/footer banners, cookie-consent walls, and newsletter overlays ▶️ Blocks YouTube ads with auto-skip and overlay removal ⏸️ One-click pause on any site that needs it ➕ Add your own custom domains to block 📊 Live counter so you can see what's actually being blocked It's still early — this isn't trying to replace uBlock Origin's massive filter lists, it's a simpler, faster blocker I wanted for myself and figured others might too. Would love your feedback: what sites break, what ads slip through, what features you'd want next. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏

The strategic goal:

2026

Chrome extension → prove technology

2027

CrossBlock Engine → B2C + B2B SDK
