Ad-Blocking
Avant Browser is a free web browser equipped with an in-built ad blocker to eliminate annoying advertisements online and protect your privacy by stopping online tracking scripts from tracking you across websites. Avant’s ad blocking technology filters out banner ads, video ads and other forms of content which slow down web pages and consume your data.
Avant’s Ad Blocker operates under similar principles to other software and browser extensions that filter out advertising content. Such programs and extensions compare domain names of elements loading on pages with massive blocklists containing known advertising content; if an element’s domain name appears there, ad-blocking programs prevent it from appearing on user screens.
Ad-blocking tools were first invented shortly after banner advertisements first began appearing online in 1994. AT&T’s initial banner, displayed on HotWired website and garnering 44% click-through rates was one of the earliest such advertisements to go live online; over time more companies entered this field, increasing online ad numbers exponentially.
Ad-blocking tools reduce the number of ads shown on websites, making them more responsive and usable for users. They can also stop annoying pop-up windows from interfering with browsing experience. Unfortunately, some users find these tools intrusive and feel they invade their privacy while some fear they will lead to revenue losses for content creators and platforms online.
Avant Browser offers many additional features that make it an invaluable web browser for businesses and individuals, including anti freezing technology that prevents windows from freezing or pulling off other windows, multiple tabs to surf simultaneously on multiple windows at the same time, RSS feed reader for automatic news and article downloads from select websites, mouse gesture support to draw commands with mouse movements and more.
