Ad Muncher 4.81 Build 31376 Final

Ad Muncher by Murray Hurps Screenshot Ad Muncher Screenshot

Ad Muncher is a system-wide ad blocker, dealing with annoyances like banner ads and popups along with new rich media ads like video ads, interstitials and floating ads. Many types of spyware and adware installers are also blocked, as well as third-party tracking systems. It works out of the box, without the need to choose what you want blocked or configure third-party filter lists, and works with all browsers and many advert-displaying programs such as ICQ, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Yahoo Music Jukebox, SopCast, iMesh, BearShare, Pando, PalTalk, etc.

The best ad blocker bar none. If you disagree, you're wrong.

As always, still the best ad blocker out there. Removes tracking scripts, potentially malicious portions of websites, and video ads from just about every video content provider out there. Top notch support is basically always available through the forum or IRC. Like everyone eles, really looking forward to gzip and regexp support.

3 starts for good software, but who needs such a thing these days? Firefox with Adblock plus and your done

If you want to be stuck with using Firefox, use AdBlock plus - if you want ad blocking and want to use anything else (including Firefox), use Ad Muncher - easy to use and does what it says, worth every penny.

Works great but shareware. AdBlock Plus also perfect solution for ad blocking,people who hate ABP simply affiliate by AM,it's like a war between free and paid. IE also has ABP alternative called Simple AdBlock if you know..

This filters the entire internet connection, not just the browser, the entire network. That means Email, Feed Readers, I.M. Clients, ALL Web Browsers, Weather Software, EVERYTHING has Advanced Ad & Junk Filtering. For PARENTS it has ADULT CONTENT FILTERING. This is REALLY a CONTENT FILTER, Ads being just one part. Once you have used it you will understand why this is an indispensable piece of software. I admit you CAN hack HOST files & use AdBlock Plus and get 50% of the filtering this has for FREE. If your Not Poor, Broke, Homeless, or a Self Proclaimed Pirate this is worth the MONEY! Aargh, Tis Good Me Mates.

Well worth the money. As it sets itself up on its first install it's great for inexperienced users, and has features that can appeal to even advanced users. Blocks adverts out of the box, and with a few right clicks can be programmed to remove nuisances such as the Drudge report siren. You can even use it to put script(s) into every page, and to take them and about everything else out. Can block pages from reloading themselves, websites from messing with the mouse, and more. I can't quite decide whether I'm happy or sad about it not filtering in encrypted pages, and I think that things being a little bit faster since I installed this new beta is all in my head. And perhaps best of all, it's one little program that tames every thing that I use to connect to the web, no having to find and set up a plug in for each new internet enabled program I want to play with.

Best ad blocker program out there. I have used it for years. It's very customizable and maintenance free. I use ABP on my other computer and Ad Muncher catches a lot more advertisements. Great technical support. Ad Muncher Usage Statistics for v4.9 Beta Build 32193/3133 Adverts removed by Ad Muncher: 1,301,998 Approximate bandwidth saved: 10,171 MB Counter started: July 20, 2003

Blocks ads in all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Safari, Flock, Netscape, Maxthon and Avant Browser, blocks many spyware, adware and dialer installers, have a lot of functions and daily filter list updates, it is a lot much better than any ad blocker. It's not free but definitely worth the money.
