A lightweight ad blocker that speeds up your browser

Why most blockers are heavy

Many popular blockers load filter lists with over 80,000 rules. Every rule gets compared against every request, and the lists stay in memory for as long as your browser is open. On less powerful machines this means noticeable slowness and higher RAM usage.

How a small rule set can block just as much

Most ads come from a relatively small number of ad networks. AdOff uses about 144 targeted rules that cover the vast majority of ad traffic, instead of tens of thousands of often-redundant rules. Fewer rules, compared faster, with a tiny footprint.

Because ad and tracker requests get blocked before they load, pages render faster and use less network, so the blocker pays for itself in speed.

Lightweight does not mean weak

AdOff still does network blocking, cosmetic filters, video neutralization and anti-detection Stealth. It is small because it is precise, not because it cuts corners.

Frequently asked questions

Do ad blockers slow down Chrome?

Heavy ones can, by loading massive filter lists into memory. A lightweight blocker like AdOff speeds up Chrome by blocking ad requests before they load.

What is the lightest ad blocker for Chrome?

AdOff is ultra-lightweight, a fraction the size of typical blockers, because it uses a small, targeted rule set instead of massive filter lists.

Does a lightweight ad blocker block fewer ads?

Not necessarily. AdOff's roughly 144 targeted rules cover the vast majority of ad networks, so it blocks effectively while staying small.
