Emma Ad Blocker

There are two main reasons why you would want to use Emma Ad Blocker, a tool that can block ads. First up, ads can be distracting and annoying; I won’t go on about this, because you’re already familiar with it. Next up, ads can cause web pages to load slower. When your browser does not have to load annoying ads, websites will load faster.

Emma Ad Blocker is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 (32 as well as 64-bit flavors of the Microsoft-developed operating system). Speaking about compatibility, it must be said that it is compatible with all major browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

While Emma Ad Blocker is running you will see an icon in the system tray. Click it and you will be presented with a simple interface that tells you how many ads are blocked, how many are allowed, and tells you if the ad blocking functionality is enabled or disabled.

Emma Ad Blocker just works. While it runs in the background, it monitors your activity and disabled ads. This means ads displayed in your browser window as well as ads displayed by other applications (while testing it, the application disabled the ads showed by Yahoo! Messenger on its interface). System resources will not be wasted on displaying ads. Time will not be wasted on loading ads in the browser window. Your computer will run better, webpages will load faster, and you will be able to enjoy a distraction-free surfing session.

The downside is that there are no settings to play with. There’s no button to close the application either.

Ads are annoying, negatively impact page loading times, and needlessly use system resources. Go get Emma Ad Blocker and you won’t have to see them anymore.
