Semalt: How To Block All Ads
Systems For Free?

Browser ads are not only a nuisance visually but pose a signi cant security risk. There are several moral
implications of blocking these ads. By implementing ad blockers on your browser, you cut down on the salaries of
those coding, designing, and providing the content that you usually view for free. The very ads you wish to block are
the same ones that provide the funding for placing everything else online. Nevertheless, the frequency of these ads
ultimately undermines the browsing experience.

Michael Brown, a marketing guru from Semalt, provides here few points to remember:

Ad blockers are very legal which means that they have no
restrictions. The decision on how to block the ads rests entirely on
you. If you do decide to use an Ad Blocker, make sure that it is clean,
and will serve you well. However, they have some limitations.

Funding for Ad Blockers emanates from a single organization or
person. Therefore, one must conduct their research on the
company before using their service. You must make sure that it will
ethically block all ads for as long you are signed up with them. There
are cases where ownership of the Ad Blocking service changes and
the new owners receive premiums from some companies to skip
their ad addresses.

Adding an extension to a browser will undeniably slow the browser down. However, if you have an ef cient
machine, this should not worry you. Otherwise, you may have to restrict yourself to two or three tabs at the
same time.

Extensions require constant updates which take up more of your time and resources.

Ad Blockers cannot function well without subscriptions. You must select a list of websites that you wish to
have blocked and manually add them to the block list.

It is not possible to run a system-wide Ad Blocker if you run multiple browsers.

Luckily, there is a better solution which is free of charge with no subscription. It blocks ads for the entire system
forever. It does not need a software to install it, meaning it will not slow down your system.

Here's how:

Install the host les from MVPS. It alters known ad server URLs with a null character. When the computer tries to
access the internet, it will return this null character meaning it does not download the ad which will, in turn, save
you a lot of time and resources. The following is a process on how to block ads manually using the MVPS method.

Con rm you have administrator privileges. Open the "Run" Console
by pressing the windows key and R concurrently.

Enter "Services.Msc" and locate the "DNS Client" option. Right click
on it and scroll down to "Properties" and then choose to "Stop."

From the "Startup type" drop-down menu, choose either "Manual"
or "Disabled." Experts recommend the Manual option.

Apply the new settings and restart.

Replace the host les in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" with the updated ones.

If the anti-virus or windows defender attempts to take action against the action, decline.

You now know how to block ads without an ad blocker whenever you are on the internet. Make sure to update the
host les regularly and replace them in the speci ed directory.
