Advice Request Avast Online Security Adblocking?

[DJ Panda]

Hi everyone! As some of you know I am strictly against adblocking for person reasons. I also loving using Avast. Recently I had been looking at Avast Online Security's options and it has said "Detects and blocks unwanted advertising and prevents analytics sites from secretly tracking you". I am wondering if the extensions is actually blocking ads and if so how do I disable it. Maybe even removing the tracking feature as well.

Thanks!

From that screenshot I would disable do not track. This would be the setting that is blocking the adverts as far as I'm aware.

Try it out on a website that has Ads.

It's blocking tracking elements, not necessarily ads. It may affect some ads, but unlikely. Will block known trackers though.

It blocks content delivery networks which are used by most adservices, because most of them track you for interest based advertising or content delivery, so Avast extension blocks probably 70 to 80% of the ads. Best way is to automtically set it to block all and test it for yourself.
