Gave it a try and solid performance. Some things that are stopping me from switching: a) Dock icon - hate it. Menu bar is enough and even then I hide it with Bartender app. b) Quite a few Swedish sites have ads that are blocked but the ad section is still shown. On biggest media site in Sweden that is the case. Blocked by most other ad blockers and the areas are defined as adarea in html/css so should be identifiable. c) Would personally love bit more customization in terms of adding own lists. Maybe once an issue with more local/domestic sites.

@jacoblo Thanks for the feedback. a) We will definitely add this feature in next iterations. Thank you for an idea. b) At StopAd we try to be very neat with our adblocking rules. We make the best rules list by: 1) Working on combination of the best sources by testing them heavily 2) Our own AI technology, which identifies ads and creates rules 3) Our 24/7 support and Improve StopAd section We are very good at English language sites right now. Sweeden is coming! c) Now it's all about ultimacy and stability. Customisation is the next step. Stay tuned and I'm sure you'll find reasons to switch and spread it to the world.

Hi I love the app, it works and it really filtered the "ADS" on some sites that I usually visited that my adblocker didn't caught. It's a bit expensive and I hope there's an option to pay 6months with 2.75 rate. @volodymyr_sytnikov @kristina_zagorulko

@menjxo You can try our 30-day promo from PH website link. After that, you can choose either to go with one browser for free or write us a message on our FB group (https://www.facebook.com/StopAdO...) and we will find a solution for you.

I haven't tried this product yet, and I plan to watch the project as it matures. I wonder how this service compares to using a browser such as Brave, or even just Google Chrome which has (the rather impressive) Google Safe Browsing for malware and phishing, uBlock for ads (works on youtube, works for miners) - all free. There are also free wider protection software such as ClamAV, Bitdefender, and Microsoft Defender for the windows folks (again, is made by an excellent team). I imagine they'll add other (arguably superfluous, already freeware alternatives) functionality like "thwart webcam / mic eavesdropping by trusting our app to hook the operating system). Anyway, I don't mean to be a hater, I know I am but I was surprised to see this at the top of PH, and felt obligated to rain on the parade if no one else will. It's early for me to be slamming something I've never even used and at the end of the day if makers on PH haven't already covered these bases but now they do via this service, I suppose that's a net benefit for the community :)

@bsmartt13 Thanks for the feedback. That's a good start for us, you are absolutely right. Thanks for proposing features for our product. Now we gain positive vibes of our users, who like our ultimacy in stopping ads and out of the box setup. Users just need a reliable product, that's a fact. Once you are a security startup and then you become a #1 endpoint security technology, you know. ;) I'm sure you can give us a chance. Someday we expect to grow a technology even you can admire, maybe it will be our AI ad detection, which we are currently working on.

Needs a pricing page linked in the header or the footer. I don't download/try/install anything that I know its paid and it doesn't clearly shows the pricing structure.

@yogodoshi Cayo, thanks for the suggestion! You download a completely free product and after the trial period, you can stay with StopAd FREE forever, no strings attached. It works as good as PRO one but works only in one browser and limited to privacy and web protection features.

Still have to use other blockers, because it's awful to have it disabled when using VPN and going to those kinds of sites

Pros:

Well, works great! Blocks all ads that I encountered in two days

Cons:

Doesn't work with my VPN

Hi Pavel, Thanks for your feedback! We have a known issue with Opera VPN and now our dev team is fixing it. We would really appreciate it if you could suggest us the name of the VPN you use (if it's not Opera) so we could investigate the case. Thank you in advance.

I like the idea but I don't really see the benefit of blocking ads on desktop apps. Would love to see a mobile app tho!

Doesn't work well with airVPN. Also stays installed on Google Chrome after removal. Very aggravating no support on how to completely remove.

Pros:

Blocks all ads

Cons:

Doesn't work properly with airVPN

John, Sorry about that and thanks for letting us know about the problem with airVPN. Regarding Google Chrome - this browser is the tricky one, it saves the state of every page in its cache even when you refresh the page. That is why you saw our Web Assistant on the page even after the removal. Please clear the cache of the webpage and problem will be fixed (Right click on the page -> Inspect, Right click on the Refresh button->Empty Cache and Hard Reload).
