Overview
Most ad blockers work by blocking ads from loading.
That sounds sensible, but it creates two problems:
# Websites can easily detect it and start nagging you about disabling your ad blocker.
# Your ad blocker starts nagging you as well.
Ad Blacker takes a different approach.
Instead of blocking ads, it simply redacts them in black. The ad scripts still load normally, so the page thinks everything is fine — but you never see the adverts.
Because nothing is actually blocked, this avoids the usual anti-adblock detection tricks that many sites now use.

What it doesn't do
