Whether you're browsing news sites, blogs, or forums, Ad-light Mode reduces the annoyance caused by ads while maintaining support for online publishers. Key Features: ✅ Ad Downgrade Mode Replace large banners, auto-playing videos, or iframe ads with simple text links or placeholders. Click on the placeholder to reveal the original ad if desired. ✅ Pop-up and Video Control Block distracting pop-ups and auto-play videos with sound. Keep your focus intact without the hassle of disruptive media. ✅ Instant Disable Button Temporarily disable ad filtering on any site with a simple toggle.
