Overview
Total Adblock is a consumer privacy tool from Total Security Limited. It blocks ad-related requests and can hide ad elements already loaded on a page. The vendor also documents blocking for pop-ups, notifications, and some trackers.
It is available as browser extensions and mobile apps. Blocking differs by platform and site. The vendor notes that advertisements built into mobile apps may not be blocked, and YouTube or Facebook behavior can depend on whether content is opened in a browser or an app.
