AdLock is the adblocking and privacy protection software for blocking pop-ups/unders, banners, auto-play video/audio ads, and web tracking, porn, malware, and phishing. Originally developed by Hankuper s.r.o, a Slovak software development company based in Bratislava.
AdLock is represented in a range of products — standalone applications supporting Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS and extensions for the most widely used browsers: Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.
As it's stated on the official website of the application, AdLock’s data processing does not involve third-party servers or services. The full operation cycle is performed locally, on the user’s device — be it a PC or a smartphone. This allows preserving strict privacy.[1]
Products[edit]
Browser extensions[edit]
AdLock browser extensions are available on official browser web stores respectively. Extensions remove online commercials: video ads, pop-ups, banners, text ads. The product also blocks spyware and warns users of malicious websites and harmful URL redirection.
Applications[edit]
AdLock is delivered as standalone applications for computers on Windows[2] and macOS, and mobile handheld devices running on Android and iOS.
The operation of mobile applications is performed through establishing a local VPN service, which provides a possibility of filtering the traffic.
Business model[edit]
Browser extensions are free to use, while applications come in form of shareware — a free trial with the subsequent subscription.
Reception[edit]
Despite the positive feedback in industry publications[3][4], AdLock for Android is not available on Google Play as Google prohibits the distribution of network-level ad blockers via Google Play[5][6]. The distribution of the applications for Windows and Android is issued through the official website of the product.
