# An ad blocker you can actually control

> Lynvio has a built-in ad blocker that filters ads, trackers and pop-ups using EasyList, EasyPrivacy and regional filter lists matched to your country. Tap the shield in the address bar to see how many items were blocked on a page and to set that site to Standard, Strict or Off.

- **A shield in the address bar**: A small badge shows how many items were blocked on the current page. Tap it to open the site panel.
- **Three levels per site**: Standard is the balanced default. Strict adds lists for annoyances and cookie notices. Off turns blocking off for that site only.
- **Allow once**: Need a page to work right now? Allow it for the current session without adding it to your allow list.
- **Help when a page breaks**: If blocking seems to break a page, Lynvio offers to fix it, at most once per site per day.
- **Pop-up blocking**: Unwanted pop-ups and new windows are blocked, with a separate switch for sites that genuinely need them.
- **Regional filter lists**: Filter lists for your region are enabled automatically and update in the background every few days.

## How it works

1. Browse as usual. Blocking is on by default.
2. Tap the shield to see what was blocked on the page.
3. Choose Standard, Strict or Off for the site, or allow it once.

## Good to know

- Blocking can occasionally change how a page looks or works. Lower the level for that site if it does.
- Filter lists are downloaded from their publishers, such as EasyList, and update automatically.
- No ad blocker catches everything, and results vary from site to site.

## Questions and answers

### Can I turn off ad blocking for one website?

Yes. Tap the shield in the address bar and choose Off. The setting applies to that website only. You can also allow a site just for the current session.

### What is the difference between Standard and Strict?

Standard uses EasyList, EasyPrivacy, regional lists and pop-up blocking. Strict adds lists for annoyances and cookie notices and blocks more aggressively, which can affect some pages.

### Does ad blocking slow pages down?

Filters run on your device from a precompiled rule set, so checking requests adds little overhead. Skipping ads and trackers can also mean less to download.
