The Ad Blocker works automatically in the background, denying banner ads, flash ads, animated gifs and even rich-media floating ads. It actually speeds up your internet connection, and reduces your bandwidth costs.

The Ad Blocker was specifically designed to enhance your connection speed by denying ads before they get to your computer. The Ad Blocker rids you of junk advertising to speed up your search and download of email, graphics, MP3s, and movies. With the Ad Blocker, websites load 2X to 3X faster depending on the number of in-site ads and window ads on that website.

To a web surfer, advertisements are a nuisance, especially heavy graphic files ? banners, animated GIFs, and Flash ads. They often outweigh editorial content in size, and can double, even triple, download time. This is especially true for more popular sites, naturally preferred by advertisers because of their heavy traffic.

Silverbox's Ad Blocker includes an Exception List that contains URLs that Ad Blocker will (black list) or will not (white list) block. Some images that are part of a website can be blocked based upon their size dimensions. Our research team periodically checks the ad list for accepted ad sizes and blocks these size images within the Ad Blocker.

We make it easy to include images on the White List, simply right click on the blocked image you wish to see and select "Add to White List" from the drop menu.
