Review Summary
Stop Reclame is praised for effectively blocking ads on multiple popular sites while consuming minimal system resources, enhancing browsing speed and safety. Users appreciate its simple design and prior ability to manually remove ads. However, recent updates removed manual element blocking features, causing frustration. Some advertising bypasses filters using randomized classes, and empty ad placeholders remain on some sites. There are also issues with PDF blocking and access to settings post-update. Overall, users find it a highly functional ad blocker with room for improvement in flexibility and update communication.
