FAQ

In addition to its easy-to-use design and advanced security features, adaware ad block stands out as one of the few ad blockers which doesn't monetize its product by allowing selected ads to generate revenue. While we display advertising on select websites by default, it is only out of respect for the reputable publishers of these sites. In this way, we respect our users and don't penalize legitimate online publishers. Simple, convenient, and fair, adaware ad block puts the user in control.

It's no secret that online advertisings can be intrusive and annoying. But we can't forget that all of these ads actually support the publishers' financial needs. Without online advertising, the internet wouldn't be free.

Here at adaware, we believe the internet should be an open and free tool that's accessible to everyone - that's why all our products are available for free.

If you want to block ads on some websites (because the ads are particularly disruptive or because you don't trust the site), but not on others that you respect and want to support, adaware ad block gives you the opportunity to do this easily.

Simply click the adaware ad block logo icon in your browser window. Press the power button to allow advertising on the current website you're visiting. Simply reload the page to see the changes. This action will permanently allow advertising on the selected site. If you change your mind, open adaware ad block by clicking on the icon in your browser and press the power button to enable ad blocking on the current site.

The exceptions list exists out of respect for the reputable online publishers we work with through our other products. We do not generate revenue from this list.
