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!

There are many reasons to block ads. People find them bothersome and distracting. Ads slow down the browser. All that happens on the page to keep content from being displayed and using valuable resources on the device, including data and processing power. Some major websites load up to 50% faster when you run an ad blocker.

Also, if you're paying for Internet traffic by traffic or per device, you'll also want to display only relevant information.
