# AdLock

Windows app that blocks ads in browsers and other programs, plus a free Chrome extension; $39.50 a year for five devices.

70 points out of 100. #6 of 12 ad blockers. Vendor: AdLock. Website: https://adlock.com/

- The 1-year plan is $39.50 ($3.29 a month) and covers 5 devices [1].
- The Windows app says it works with Chrome, Opera, Edge and Firefox and with apps such as Skype and uTorrent [2].
- A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to the first subscription payment [3].
- The Chrome extension is described as always free and accepts your own filters [4].
- The home page says AdLock is not part of the acceptable ads programme [5].

Verdict: AdLock suits people who want a Windows app that blocks ads outside the browser, with five devices for $39.50 a year [1][2]. The vendor says it will never join acceptable ads [5]. The catch: the free option is a browser extension, not the system-wide app, the Windows app is a 14-day trial, and the vendor's pages do not describe cookie pop-up blocking or whether browsing history is stored [2][4][6][7]. Best for: People who want one Windows app for browsers and desktop programs.
