My current configuration: Ghostery (open source privacy) + uBlock (open source, light adblock) + AdGuard (very effective mobile adblock) --> no tempation to switch based on your current product What would make consider switching: add features that progress my goal towards digital minimalism lifestyle: - Browser: limit minutes I can use time wasting sites such as fb, linkedin, news, youtube. One effective way is to allow user visit the site but blocking the endless content feed - Mobile: suggest a less tech savy user to uninstall the obtrusive native applications in favor of the mobile site versions, then help the user to take control how much he/she spends on these sites (funny quirk would be to offer better ways to spend time) - Visualize based on data from my browser + mobile usage: how much time I am wasting, how much data I saved total, how much resources less your solution uses compared to my current configuration, how much am I wasting time compared to other members in the community (my age, gender, industry), what you could have easily completed the past 1,6,12 months if you had decreased the number of wasted minutes by 50% (university course worth of language studies, learn to play la la land theme song on piano etc.) - Emphasize: you will never use or sell my data, thus the monthly fee. Alternatively you can switch to free version where you reserve the right to sell some data to finance the operations

@juhslk Thanks for your comment, Juho! I'll transmit your suggestions to our team. You use 3 programs for ad blocking! Not too much? And how does it affect your system?
Vladimir Sytnikov
@juhslk, Thank you for a great product features backlog. During last 9 months, our team was focused on bringing to the market the best tool to stop all types of ads. We'll definitely add some gamification and even more entertainment. As for your "bundle" try to check it vs. StopAd. You can also check out our Android version.

@kristina_zagorulko uBlock is the lightest blocker out there, practically no effect on resource usage. Ghostery might not be the lightest extension out there, however it is unrivaled with the privacy protection they provide Adguard on the other hand I only use on my mobile and it works like a charm

My question is this… why should we trust StopAd?
Kristina Zakharchenko
@ryan_roberts1 What concerns do you have? All reliable antiviruses mark StopAd as a safe software. StopAd performs filtering on the user’s machine without sending any data outside the environment, so you can be sure that your personal data is safe.

Cons:

Didn't notice

Loved it from day one, it is a real adblocker !!! Not like other “adblockers” that have “acceptable ” ads policy.

Would this block ads on YouTube videos casted through Chromecast
Serhiy Lyakhov
@i_dino Hi Dinesh, when you cast videos through Chromecast, it uses its own in-built Youtube app. Unfortunately, we can't block ads there because we're not a part of their platform. If we find the way to be included in Chromecast in-built apps - you'll be among the first to know:)
