Some adblockers manage only to remove the ads but not re-adjust the page layout, which means that there simply may be a white or black space in place of the ads. Some adblockers can entirely remove the ads from a website, so it seems like the ads weren’t there in the first place. How Do Ad Blockers Work?Īfter the page’s contents have been shown, an ad blocker scans it for elements that match specified criteria, such as images with standard banner dimensions, and removes them from view.
Even media players within your browser can have ads blocked by an efficient ad blocker. The ad blocker prevents any website component identified as containing advertisements from loading. The ad-blocking program examines the names of the domains of the elements loaded on the website page against an extensive, constantly updated blacklist as the website loads.
