Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about adblock testing and online privacy.
How do I test if my adblocker is working?
Simply visit our homepage and click the 'Start Adblock Test' button. Our tool will automatically run a series of tests against your browser to check if common ads, trackers, and malware domains are being blocked. You'll receive a detailed score and breakdown within seconds.
Is this test accurate?
Yes, our test uses real ad network URLs and tracking scripts to determine if your adblocker is blocking them. We test against major ad networks like Google AdSense, DoubleClick, Facebook Pixel, and more. The results reflect actual blocking behavior in your browser.
What's the difference between ads and trackers?
Ads are visible content (banners, videos, pop-ups) designed to promote products or services. Trackers are invisible scripts that collect data about your browsing behavior, often without your knowledge. A good adblocker should block both.
Do you collect my data?
No! All tests run entirely in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Your test results are generated locally and are never sent to our servers.
Why do some websites ask me to disable my adblocker?
Many websites rely on advertising revenue to operate. When you block ads, they lose potential income. Some sites use adblock detection scripts to show messages asking you to whitelist their site. You can choose to support sites you trust by adding them to your adblocker's whitelist.
Can adblockers protect me from malware?
Yes! Many adblockers include malware domain blocklists that prevent your browser from connecting to known malicious websites. This provides an additional layer of security beyond just blocking ads.
How often should I test my adblocker?
We recommend testing after installing a new adblocker, updating your browser, or changing adblocker settings. Periodic testing (monthly) can also help ensure your protection remains effective as new ad networks emerge.
