A free, open-source desktop application that blocks ads, trackers, and surveillance scripts across browsers and other apps, providing system-wide filtering without a subscription. It is designed for privacy-conscious individuals who want device-level ad and tracker blocking; it is intended for personal use rather than enterprise network filtering.
