It also includes a stats dashboard with category breakdowns and daily trends, plus the ability to toggle blocking categories individually. A 7-day free trial is available. Important Notes • Blocked counters reflect network-level requests. Cosmetic hiding of page elements is counted separately. • YouTube ad reduction works by preventing ad-related requests before they reach the player. Some ad formats may still appear briefly. • Private windows reduce local data storage but do not provide anonymity to websites or network providers. • Blocking effectiveness may vary depending on website structure and Chrome version. Shieldra gives you cleaner browsing, better privacy, and real-time protection — fast, free, and built on Chrome's native blocking technology.
