Ad blocker
What is an ad blocker?
Ad blockers are software components or browser plugins that detect advertisements on websites and block them. While the name implies that it mainly blocks advertisements, it also reduces the risk of retrieving malicious scripts and code. Some ad blockers still allow some advertisements to be displayed, based on their trust and behavior.
