Banner Blocker

Note: holding the Ctrl key while loading the web site temporary disables the Banner Blocker, Movie Blocker and PopUp Blocker.

The All-in-One SECRETMAKER Banner Blocker blocks advertising Banners and Flash’s animation, improving your Internet surfing speed (usually these ads come from an external source) and reducing your online access costs. The Banner Blocker is browser independent.

Banners originating from the website itself are not blocked, as they may be necessary for the viewing and functionality of the site itself. Flash’s are also blocked from local sources (shown as the URL in your browser) as they often have nothing to do with navigation of the website itself. Most websites require nothing special to work smoothly with the activated Banner Blocker. However complex sites, such as eBay.com, lycos.com, msn.com and others, which obtain their content from varied sources, must be optimized. Banner Blocker includes a preset data base, complete with settings for the most visited websites worldwide.

For optimizing certain web sites please refer to the Blocker Optimization side for detailed instructions.
