![]() ![]() This will now allow us to include components we have been writing in C into the main Ad Muncher ASM tree without rewriting the entire program (though this is the eventual goal * Developed some simple systems to convert GCC's assembly output to TASM syntax. * Rewrote the trial-version expiry code to fix a few minor problems and increase reliability and accuracy This was done to aid bug reports of the lists and help ensur For example, Version 4.6 Build 10444/1005 is using build 1005 of the default filter list. * The version build number shown by Ad Muncher now includes the current build of the default filter list. * Fixed some race conditions caused by some buffers that were shared between multiple threads * By request, the (somewhat obvious) explanation text next to the "My Filters" list can be toggled on and off by clicking on it Previous versions of Ad Muncher would always check once a month, now you can select monthly, weekly or daily checks (with weekly being the new default) * Rearranged the update tab and implemented a control to select the frequency of update checks. * Rewrote part of the automatic update system to fix several minor update reliability problems * Fixed bug with the handling of certain types of HTML comment tags (or rather, discovered a further intricacy of IE's comment-tag handling and modified Ad Muncher to emulate it) * Implemented a temporary workaround to the conflict with McAfee Enterprise 8.0i that could cause browser crashes Includes extensive options for those who like to tinker, allowing you to remove anything that annoys you. Filters quickly and reliably, thanks to six years of constant development and feedback from users. ![]() Speeds up page loading, thanks to the missing adverts and popups. Blocks adverts in programs like ICQ, Morpheus, Kazaa, Grokster, Opera, PalTalk, iMesh, Bearshare, LimeWire, etc. Overall, it's a great wee program that makes the Net a much nicer place to be.- Blocks unwanted popups in all browsers. It's not just limited to IE, either - it also blocked ads in RealOne Player and other irritating apps. Finally, the program includes IP scrambling, which uses anonymous proxy servers to hide your real IP address. OnLoad and OnUnLoad commands can be blocked, too, which stops sites filling your screen with unwanted windows when you arrive at or depart from a page. Under the Security tab you can disable HTTP referrer logging, Web bugs and status bar text (often used to obscure links' real targets), and you can also override any mouse controls, such as when a page disables the right-click button or text highlighting. ![]() ![]() You can also configure Ad Muncher to block JavaScript alert windows and Meta refresh tags, and you can prevent Internet files from being cached. You can prohibit images by size - which also blocks the adverts in some software programs - or by using filters that you've set up yourself there's also a server-supplied list of common ad systems that you can use in conjunction with your own filters. In addition to banner blocking and pop-up blocking, the program can disable the commands that launch windows when you close your browser, the referrer logging that tells site owners where you've been, and even background images.Īds are blocked in different ways. Best of all, though, it just works without creating any browsing problems, and that's exactly how it should be.īanish banners and protect your privacy with this incredibly small ad-blocking tool.Īs the name suggests, Ad Muncher gets rid of adverts - but it does a lot more besides. Page formatting is left intact, with only the ads removed, and there's little impact on loading times. Indeed, it's up to you to decide exactly what Ad Muncher treats as an advert, from standard banners to specific keywords and even down to a JavaScript call, if you like. The extensive configuration options mean you can be sure Ad Muncher will take out only what you don't want to see, leaving what you do want where it is. It's hugely customisable, will remove pop-ups, pop-unders, embedded adverts, audio, Flash, background images, prevent auto-bookmarking, prevent web-bug tracking and all the time leave small, inoffensive text-only adverts alone (unless you want it to remove them as well). The ad-blocking market is a crowded one, but Ad Muncher has been seven years in development and it shows. Ad Muncher is another of the commercial add-ons available for IE7, but having used it for a few weeks we soon forgot about that - just like we forgot about website adverts. ![]()
