Windows / South Bay Software / 208701 / Full spec
Description

NoAds is a powerful security software that helps you get rid of annoying Internet popup ads that can disrupt your web surfing experience. With NoAds, you can enjoy a seamless browsing experience without any interruptions from unwanted ads.

This software is fully configurable, allowing you to specify which ads you want to be destroyed automatically. You can customize the settings according to your preferences and block specific types of ads such as pop-ups, banners, and flash animations.

NoAds supports most popular Web browsers including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, and America Online. This means that no matter which browser you use for your web surfing needs, NoAds has got you covered.

The program is very easy to use and stays running in the system tray for quick access. Once installed on your computer or laptop, it runs silently in the background without affecting the performance of other applications or slowing down your system.

One of the key benefits of using NoAds is that it not only blocks annoying pop-up ads but also protects your privacy by blocking tracking cookies and scripts from websites. This ensures that your online activities remain private and secure at all times.

Another great feature of NoAds is its ability to whitelist certain websites so that they are exempted from ad-blocking rules. This means that if there are certain websites whose content relies on advertising revenue for survival or if there are some sites whose content you don't mind seeing advertisements on then this feature will come in handy.

In addition to blocking unwanted ads and protecting your privacy online, NoAds also helps speed up page loading times by preventing unnecessary scripts from running in the background. This results in faster page load times which translates into a better browsing experience overall.

Overall, NoAds is an excellent security software solution for anyone who wants to enjoy uninterrupted web surfing without being bombarded with annoying pop-up ads or having their online activities tracked by advertisers. It's easy-to-use interface coupled with its powerful features make it an essential tool for anyone who values their privacy while browsing online.

Review

In spite of a few pluses, this pop-up blocker performs poorly. To NoAds's credit, it does support quite a few browsers beyond Internet Explorer, including Firefox, AOL, and Netscape. It comes loaded with a list of common pop-up ads to target, such as those that come from Angelfire home pages. Still, it lets through most pop-ups you might encounter in an average surfing session. Although NoAds lets you add new targets to its databases, most users will abandon this complicated and inconvenient process before completion. The app offers no white list or options for allowing pop-ups, and it's utterly powerless against banner and Flash ads. Besides its support for multiple browsers, the best news about this application is its freeware price. Because of that, we can cautiously recommend NoAds to very occasional Web surfers, but everyone else will find it an unacceptable solution.
