Page cleanup

Ads, feeds and filter lists

Read past the ad spaces

iShield uses browser network rules to block matching ad requests. Page cleanup hides supported banners, sponsored containers and empty placeholders left in the layout.

Questions / Answers

iShield FAQs

Does iShield count every blocked request?

The counter measures ad elements hidden on the page and confirmed video skips. Network requests are excluded. A zero on the badge means no measured cleanup on that page so far.

Can I use more than one regional list?

Yes. Enable several lists together, or search for a region and switch on just its list. For Bangladesh and India, look for IndianList.

Can I pause protection for just one website?

Yes. Open the website controls in the popup and pause automatic protection for that domain. Your permanent custom blocks continue to apply.

Do I need to record my browsing for statistics?

No. Statistics use local aggregate counts. The optional privacy permission is for additional browser controls.
