Web Boost for Chrome - Wait Less, Browse Faster

[Ink]

Add to Chrome: Web Boost - Wait Less, Browse Faster!

"This extension applies clever caching techniques (which are not there in browser by default) and blocks the stuff you do not need (ads and trackers)."​

Not working? Remember to 'Allow on all websites' is checked.

Why do I need it?

• Websites will open noticeably faster!
• Extension is free and secure Open Source Software!
• No configuration is needed!
• Nothing is downloaded!
• Videos and Images do not lose quality!
• Based on this research.

What permissions are needed?
Extension requires "the access to read all website data".

It analyses what website building blocks are used and prevents downloading specific blocks on all websites.

• No data is sniffed from the page (like passwords or credit cards).
• No data is sent anywhere.

Ehh I am not that much an adblocker fan. Good for everyone else though.

I have been using it for a while, such a great extension! i'll suggest that everyone download it!

Does this extension cause any issues with working alongside ad blockers and extensions like Disconnect?

I was having trouble with uBlock Origin and waiting for webpages to load so I decided to search how to make Chrome browse faster and this appeared in the Google search. It's not directly advertised, but it's essentially an Ad and Tracker blocker.

It's not directly advertised, but it's essentially an Ad and Tracker blocker.

As far as I know, Ad & Tracker blocker is just one of the 3 algos of the extension.
I talked to the developer, he confirmed that it will be optional in "someday".

Btw Webboost seems working fine here. I'm also having Adguard running alongside. Thanks for sharing it @Huracan

Isn't Decentraleyes the same thing except built in ad blocking? I use uBlock with Decentralyes.

 

[tonibalas]

Can i use Web boost and Decentraleyes alongside ublock origin or they will conflict?
Thanks for the information.

Is it good to use as an standalone adblocker?

It will not block everything, but you can try it for yourself. If you want custom filters stick with UBlock, Adguard, ABP etc.

I am currently using Web Boost + Avast Online Security and noticed YT video ads are not blocked.
