Ads and trackers blocked before you touch a setting.
Acira has ad and tracker blocking built in and turned on, so there is nothing to install. If a site breaks, you can turn blocking off for that site alone.
Beta for Windows, Mac and Linux
What it blocks
- Ad and tracker requests, using the EasyList, EasyPrivacy and uBlock Origin filter lists.
- Leftover ad slots, hidden using the cosmetic rules in the same lists.
- Pop-up ads and pop-unders a page opens from a click. A window you asked for still opens.
- Third-party cookies, blocked by default.
You stay in control
- One switch per site. Open the Ads and trackers panel and turn blocking off for that site.
- A count you can see, showing how much was blocked.
- Per profile. Each profile has its own switch in Settings › Privacy.
Blocking does not make browsing anonymous, and it is not malware protection. Dangerous page warnings are separate.
Questions
Do I need an ad blocker extension in Acira?
No. Blocking is built in and on by default. You can still add extensions from the Chrome Web Store, and uBlock Origin Lite works.
Can I turn the ad blocker off for one site?
Yes. Open the Ads and trackers panel on that site, switch off blocking and reload.
Which filter lists does Acira use?
EasyList, EasyPrivacy and the uBlock Origin filter lists.
