About AdLock

AdLock is a commercial ad blocker that filters traffic across the whole device rather than in a single browser. On Windows and Android it blocks ads, pop-ups and trackers in browsers, apps and games; on Mac and iOS it works through Safari and system integrations, and there is a version for Android TV. It also warns about malicious sites and lets you adjust rules for individual sites and apps. AdLock does not participate in acceptable-ads schemes. It is sold as a subscription licence that can be activated on up to five devices, and the company offers a money-back option if it doesn't suit you. It suits people who want a set-and-forget paid alternative to AdGuard covering several platforms. It is closed source, and system-wide HTTPS filtering means trusting the vendor with a lot of traffic.

Best for: Households wanting a paid blocker for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS under one licence.
