Description

an ad-blocker add-on that uses host matching instead of RegExp matching to increase performance and reduce memory usage.

When a new resource is requested the extension matches its hostname to the list of known advertisement or analytic sources. If the hostname matches the request gets blocked if not it will load as normal. Extensions like uBlock Origin or AdBlock Plus use RegExp matching which is more powerful but slower to evaluate.

You can extend the default list by adding your custom domain names in the backlist text box or whitelist a top domain by adding its hostname into the whitelist textbox.

Default blacklist hostnames:
https://adaway.org/hosts.txt
https://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txt
https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=0&mimetype=plaintext

Before adding a new hostname to the list of blacklist, make sure to check its current status by inserting the hostname in the evaluation input box.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
