Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Shop smart, stay safe: block ads and trackers this holiday season · 2024-10-31 11:04 by Rean Marie Thomas

The chill in the air and crunching of leafy footsteps means the holiday season is drawing near and with it the frenzied search for the perfect gifts and best deals. While shopping online offers the ultimate convenience, there can be some downsides. From distracting pop-up ads to online scams, Adblock Plus has you covered. Here are a few ways Adblock Plus can help your online shopping experience this season.

1. Say goodbye to disruptive ads

Nothing is more annoying when shopping online than pop-up ads cluttering the screen. From irrelevant offers to flashy banners that slow your browser, ads can disrupt your shopping flow. With Adblock Plus, those distractions disappear. Enjoy browsing your favorite websites without intrusive ads blocking your way, allowing you to focus on finding the best deals. You can block even more distractions when you upgrade to Premium today.

2. A safer browsing experience

The holiday season is prime time for cybercriminals looking to exploit shoppers. Some ads contain malicious software or phishing attempts that try to steal your information. Adblock Plus helps protect you from these harmful ads by blocking pop-ups, banners and other ad elements that may carry malware or lead to fraudulent sites, reducing the chance of accidentally clicking on a dangerous link.

3. Shop faster by improving page load times

Ads don’t just clutter your screen—they slow down your browser with data-laden elements. With Adblock Plus, you’ll notice that websites load faster. This is particularly useful when browsing multiple sites, especially during sales events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. The faster your browser works, the quicker you can move from store to store, comparing prices and checking out before items sell out.

4. Less distraction = better decision-making

Holiday shopping can be stressful. The last thing you need is constant distractions that push you toward impulse buys. By using Adblock Plus, you create a cleaner, distraction-free environment where you can focus on your shopping list rather than relentless ad campaigns. This helps you stay within budget and make more thoughtful decisions about what to buy. Block even more annoying distractions like newsletter pop-ups and floating videos with Distraction Control available in Adblock Plus Premium.

5. Avoid sneaky ad-tracking

Did you ever notice that after looking at a product, ads for it seem to follow you around the web? Adblock Plus helps minimize this by preventing advertisers from tracking your browsing behavior. This gives you more privacy and makes it easier to avoid targeted ads that try to pressure you into purchasing items you may not want or need. Here are some simple steps to block additional tracking if you haven’t already enabled it.

6. Improved battery life for mobile shoppers

For those who prefer to shop on their smartphones or tablets, Adblock Plus also helps extend battery life. Websites with numerous ads can drain your battery faster because they require more resources to load and display those ads. Blocking them ensures you don’t run out of juice while finalizing your purchases.

Happy shopping!

With the holiday season right around the corner, use Adblock Plus to enhance your online shopping experience. Whether it’s avoiding annoying ads, staying safe from malware, or simply speeding up your browser, Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus Premium make shopping online smoother and more enjoyable. We hope you find exactly what you’re looking for.
