    Softpedia Editor's Review for Ad Muncher

    EDITOR'S RATING:   5.0/5

    Powerful advert and popup blocking system for all browsers

    Written by Bogdan Popa on December 4th, 2012

    Most browsers available today come with built-in ad and pop-up blockers, so why use a different application for this purpose? Well, because Ad Muncher has so many features that it's undoubtedly able to make the whole browsing experience a lot more pleasant.

    The application is able to filter website data and block unwanted content, regardless if we're referring to advertisements, links, images, sounds or various scripts.

    Ad Muncher runs separately but integrates perfectly into most browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera and Mozilla Firefox, creating a special context menu option to block content on the fly.

    Right clicking on a website gives you the power to block a given link, an image, a whole frame or disable filters on the entire page. In addition, there's a special option to report the page and thus help the developer make the app better in the next releases.

    The configuration screen, on the other hand, allows you to remove music and sound, background images, colored scroll bars, bookmark scripts, automatic reloads, window resizing, browser status bar changes and even address icons.

    Of course, you can configure the way the application handles advertisements, so there's an option to leave small text-only adverts alone and replace removed images with a description of the image.

    As for the popups, Ad Muncher blocks them all, including automatic JavaScript alerts and messenger service popups, showing you a notice in the browser status bar when a new popup is blocked.

    Ad Muncher is impressively easy to use, but it has so many features that you may spend even a half an hour setting it up. After that though, you will definitely know that no advertisement or popup will ever see daylight on your computer.

    So all in all, given how many features it boasts, Ad Muncher seems to be just the right way to improve the browsing experience.
