Sanitize is a powerful and efficient ad-blocker. It blocks ads, tracking scripts, social share buttons, pop-ups, and other annoyances from websites you visit. Sanitize makes your mobile browsing experience faster, and leaves you with more data at the end of the month. Features: • Blocks ads and tracking scripts with an extensive and regularly-updated list. • Saves mobile data by preventing large ad images from ever loading. • Hides the wasted white space behind ads. • Removes annoying social share buttons. • Full custom whitelist support, so you can support the sites you love. • Whitelist of high-quality ad networks — if you want to support independent blogs and websites, but still block annoying ads everywhere else, you can allow only ads from networks that serve small, unobtrusive ads.
