adblocker
Pop-up preventer
An adblocker is software that prevents advertisements from displaying on websites and apps.
Most work as browser extensions, filtering out ads before pages load.
Some users install adblockers for faster browsing and privacy; publishers complain they undermine ad-supported content: The site asked me to disable my adblocker.
Also spelled ad blocker.
