But by far, the most annoying ads are those displayed in smartphone apps. They often disrupt your experience and make it more difficult to enjoy apps. You won't have to worry about this anymore: Connectify Hotspot's universal ad blocker will help you solve this situation!

Why use universal ad blockers?

Ads slow down the browsing experience

Ads are often dynamically loaded into websites or in applications you use on your smartphone, based on your browsing history or cookies on your device. In either case, the computer or smartphone must download all additional banners, images and videos. This slows down the browsing experience and uses additional data for content you don't want to see from the start!

Most ad blockers still allow all of those activities to occur, but hide ads so you can't see them.

Connectify Hotspot is different - Ads are blocked at the DNS level, which means they are not only hidden from view, but they are also blocked from loading in the first place!
