Zero technical info on the site, weird. But since it also filters out ads in non-browser apps, it should be some sort of proxy. Then how does it handle https'd ads? Self-signed certs and all? Perhaps dwindling supply of http resources and increasing privacy concerns are the reasons why it's "now completely free" :-/ PS. I've been Windows user since 3.11, I am very pro-privacy and I've never even heard of Ad Muncher. Make you what you want from it. |

I've been reading sci fi books since the 1980s. I guess, by your logic, any title I haven't heard about is just bad ...
I've been using AdMuncher since 2002 or so and IMHO it's absolutely great. It's the number 1 reason I didn't switch my desktop to Linux. It's also the reason I'm using a Windows tablet (Dell Venue 11 Pro).
This is the statistics, since last I installed Windows:
Statistics for Ad Muncher v4.93.33707/5539 Adverts removed: 181,604 Bandwidth saved: 5,346 MB Counter started: June 7, 2014
I've tried AdBlockPlus and uBlock many times, but they leave way more ads than AdMuncher. One of the reasons may be that they are more popular, so advertisers put more effort in defeating them.
