UltraBlock 1.3.1
lmost every website uses services like ad networks, analytics or social media buttons. Popular websites even load over 50 of these external services in the background. They do this to profile and track you with the goal to improve conversions or to sell your profile. You, as a visitor, do not need these services for the website to load or a good browsing experience. They only slow you down and compromise your privacy.
UltraBlock automatically blocks unnecessary services like ads, invisible trackers and third-party cookies. It shows what services are loaded in the background of the websites that you visit. UltraBlock makes websites load over 53% faster and keeps your privacy safe.
Tracker Database
UltraBlock maintains a manually checked tracker database with 1.941 hostnames of external services. These services are categorized into Advertising, Analytics, Social and Essential. Services that are not necessary for a good browsing experience are marked as 'unnecessary'. With this database UltraBlock automatically blocks ads and trackers that you do not need. UltraBlock shows you exactly what services are loaded in the background of the websites that you visit. Ultrablock protects your privacy in as many ways as possible.
Protects your privacy
It starts by blocking content from services that are marked as 'unnecessary' in the UltraBlock tracker database. This immediately cleans out over 80% of trackers only leaving unknown or new trackers. To make sure even these can not track you UltraBlock cleans up the third-party cookies and your browser cache after every website visit. And finally, to make it even harder for services to track you UltraBlock randomizes your user-agent for each website visit.
Lightweight and super fast
