 ... slightly (but then, I'm on ADSL, so slowing my browsing down slightly still means it's very quick). It does make it a slightly more pleasurable experience, particularly with sites which have huge adverts blocking much of what you want to see. Bad news 2: Sometimes it breaks sites, particularly my bank, but switching it off is just a case of right-clicking the icon in the task bar so no major problems there. Bad news 3: By using this product, or others like it, you are actively putting sites out of business....more

Premium Review AdSubtract: It does exactly what it says on the tin (572 words)

Obviously, AdSubtract doesn't come with a tin. It's software. But if it came with a tin, which it doesn't, it would do exactly what it says on the tin, even though since there's no tin this is a fairly academic thought, and moderately pointless. Shall we start again? AdSubtract CE (which I use) is the cookie edition of AdSubtract. You'll probably already know what AdSubtract does, but you might not know how well it does it. So. Let's show you. Today, I've been surfing the web for about two hours, and it reckons it's removed 567 ad banners. Good thing? Well, kind of. More on that below. CE also lets you control ...  Read the complete review

~ ~ If, like me, you’re totally fed up to the back teeth with all these pop-up ads and banners that seem to be on almost every site you visit on the Web these days, including our own beloved dooyoo, then I suggest you go and have a look at this new programme that I found through a recommendation in a computer mag. ~ ~ It’s called AdSubtract, and quite simply, it stops in their tracks all those uncalled for and unwanted advertisements, and as a result also speeds up your system considerably. I got a new computer recently, so I wasn’t particularly unhappy with the speed I was managing anyway, but having only downloaded this programme a couple ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review AdSubtract & Multiply! (777 words)
by - written on 24/10/00 (Very useful, 104 readings)

This is a brilliant piece of software – and it’s free! AdSubtract is a little program that works along side your web browser (proxy server for techies!) and filters out banner adverts & cookies from web pages before you download them. Now, I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical that a program could just remove banner adverts from web pages without causing any problems (e.g. blocking a real part of the website or something), but it works – and it works very well! This big advantage of this, is that it speeds up the time taken to download a web page, and, of course, gets rid of all the distracting flashing adverts and such like. ...  Read the complete review
