AdVeil by Achintha Ekanayake

AdVeil takes a different approach to blocking them. Instead of relying entirely on a huge third-party blocklist, it watches the page itself and figures out what looks intrusive — while also blocking known ad and tracker domains.

What AdVeil keeps out of your way:

• 🚫 Intrusive overlays — Full-screen ads, sticky popups, anti-adblock nags, and other elements that suddenly take over your screen. AdVeil scores page elements as they appear and hides the ones that look like intrusive overlays.
• 🛑 Popups & clickunders — Stops scripts from hijacking your clicks and quietly opening unwanted ad, scam, or redirect tabs.
• 🌐 Ad & tracker requests — Blocks requests to a curated list of known advertising and tracking domains before they load.
• 🧹 Hidden ad clutter — Removes common ad containers and leftover ad spaces so pages stay cleaner.

AdVeil does its detection locally in your browser. It doesn't collect, transmit, or sell your browsing data.

AdVeil is completely open source. You can inspect how the blocker works, see the filtering logic, and even check the backend used for its optional bug-report feature.
