You might think ads are just a minor annoyance, but they're actually slowing down your internet, draining your phone battery, consuming your data plan, and potentially exposing you to malware. Even worse, every ad tracks your behavior to build a detailed profile of your interests, habits, and personal life.
Your Phone is Slower
Ads consume 20-40% of your mobile data and significantly drain your battery. That "slow" website? It's probably loading dozens of ad scripts in the background.
You're Being Watched
Every website you visit reports back to advertising networks. They know what you shop for, what you read, and where you go online—building a detailed profile to manipulate your purchasing decisions.
Hidden Security Risks
Malicious ads (malvertising) can infect your device even on legitimate websites. Major sites like CNN and BBC have unknowingly served malware through their ad networks.
Wasting Your Money
On mobile data plans, you're literally paying to download ads. Heavy ad content can consume 50-70% of a webpage's data, meaning you're paying for content you don't want.
