Advice Request StopAd for Windows - Anyone using it?

[HarborFront]

StopAd launched its AI-based ad blocking that detects advertisements like a human being. It is even able to distinguish so-called native ads that are intentionally imitating the website’s content format and style.

What’s Under The Hood Of Our AI?

As a result of our research and development, we have been able to combine machine learning and computer vision. Our computer vision is built on convolutional neural networks based on InceptionV3 architecture. Our approach has resulted in a technology with high accuracy — 0.18% false positive rate. We intentionally abandoned OCR & NLP technologies. Only teaching AI to recognize the ad marking (adchoices, “sponsored by” label…) would be a short-term solution to the problem. Adtech is developing, and an ad blocking system should be more intuitive and flexible.

I don't have an android device with me. Is there any limitation on the android app? I mean any paid features in the android app.

Looks to me like its freeware. I can't find any indication of that if you mean there's a PRO android version.

Yup that's what I wanted to know. Thanks for confirming mate.

It does not looks trustworthy. It displays reviews from users and as if that was not bad enough, a deceptive advertisement about Ordinary Ad Blockers.
