About Ad And Stuff Blocker
Ad And Stuff Blocker (AASB) is an ad and other stuff content blocker specifically for Safari on Mac OSX and iOS. Its goal is to provide the best "out of the box" experience. There are no fancy statistics or fancy UI - just a simple UI to whitelist websites, which hopefully you won't need. AASB for Safari on iOS provides a comparable experience. Ad And Stuff VPN Content Filter (AASVPN) for Android uses the VPN feature to optionally block ads and porn in all apps, not just web browsers. Think of it as a way to have your own hosts file for Android. To do this, it intercepts DNS (how names like google.com have translated to IP addresses) requests only. If the request is for a domain in the hosts database, then returns an Unknown reply to the calling app. Otherwise, it forwards the request to the DNS server, which is OpenDNS for the time being, but can be changed in the preferences.

Bluhell Firewall
Get a faster browsing experience by blocking nasty web resources using Bluhell Firewall, the lightweight ad-blocker, and the tracking/privacy protector. All we know is the availability of popular AdBlockers lying around, but frankly, these are too bloated with several features and options which most of us don't use beyond the defaults. So, this extension was made for those of us who don't care about all that stuff but do about just getting rid of all the nasty resources being loaded by websites. This is a lightweight extension (ie, 30KB compared to ~700KB of other popular adblockers), which was made with performance in mind. No configurable options, subscriptions, additional features, etc. You can turn the extension on/off at any time by clicking the toolbar button (Fx Desktop) or touching the menu item entry (Fx for Android). Every time a certain resource wants to be loaded we will have to iterate through a list of seven compiled patterns.

Domain Whitelist
Ultimate blocker which says no to every network packet until you explicitly allow it. By default Domain Whitelist blocks everything. Everything. It's up to you to build your very customized whitelist of domains you trust. Everything else is blocked and well kept out of your browser. It's like AdBlock the other way around, completely. By blocking advertisement domains you're free of most of those pervasive ads. By blocking tracking domains you're protected from services that acquire information about your browsing behavior. By blocking unnecessary domains (requests) you save a lot of traffic and make pages load faster! Read and change all your data on the websites you visit to be able to intercept HTTP requests before they leave your browser. Completely free and with no ads.
