Even if it sounds a bit dramatic, ads are the bane of our existence when we surf the web. They can ruin our whole experience, regardless of what we do. One moment you can be enjoying a good video and the next it gets interrupted by an ad, as if you were watching cable television. Fortunately, there is a way of dealing with them and one of the best choices is StopAd. It does away with ads on all popular web browsers, applications and social sites without impunity. Just turn it on and you'll never see an ad again.

The application is free and it is compatible with all modern Windows versions. Its setup package is small and you can install its components in a matter of seconds. There are no special requirements you have to meet and you don't have to sacrifice too many resources.

StopAd comes with three main modules, which can be switched on and off at your leisure on its compact user interface. Besides its ad blocking capabilities, the application also provides web and privacy protection features, to secure your personal information from online tracking and to block online threats, like phishing websites.

As previously suggested, you only need to run the application and have these modules active. Once you've done this, you will be able to surf the web without any annoyances. You won't see any ads popping up when you watch a video or browse through Facebook, your videos won't get interrupted and no one will try to sell you anything when you visit your favorite websites.

StopAd looks quite simple on the surface, but it gives you quite a bit of control over its behavior. You can access its general settings menu and set up rules and filters, integrate it with specific browsers or other applications and much more. You can also configure a web assistant, which shows up on your browser, to give you a few options, like disabling the ad blocker for the current website or jump back to the general settings menu. You can do everything with a minimum of effort and you will definitely like the results.

StopAd can deliver a safer and more comfortable web browsing experience, with next to no effort from the user's side.

Pros

The application doesn't make any exceptions when it comes to blocking ads. It also comes with privacy and security features. It places a good amount of configuration options at your disposal.

Cons

There are no obvious flaws to point out.
