The peculiarity of the browser, of course, is the ability to block ads. Moreover, Adblock Browser provides an impressive number of settings for this. For example, it is possible to allow the site to be non-intrusive ads. In the description of the function, it says that the creators want to encourage sites that use ads that do not annoy the user.

The button to disable ads is located in the center of the bottom bar. By default, ad blocking is enabled on all sites. The two-click lock turns on and off.

The browser itself works quite smoothly, although in the case of iOS it still falls short of Safari. There are standard browser capabilities: you can add a page to your favorites or bookmarks, as well as share it on social networks. DuckDuckGo is used as a search engine, but it can be changed to Google. There are no other options.

There are also additional blocking options in the settings. For example, you can block tracking, domains with malware, remove social media buttons, or hide messages against ad blocking.

Adblock Browser is available in iOS and Android versions. App stores mention that using the browser cuts battery consumption by 20% and traffic by 50%. However, such numbers are hard to believe.
