1. Visit a site
2. Click “Zap Ads”
3. From then on, that site is ad-free every time you visit

That’s it. No complex menus. No extra tweaks. No privacy lecture. Just one click when you decide a site should be ad-free. You decide where to block, you stay in control. Maybe you zap ads on YouTube or your go-to news site, but keep them on your favourite blogs to support the creators.
