Why one program
Two filters, one installer.
A DNS filter stops devices from reaching ad and tracking servers: this computer, plus the TV, console or phone whose DNS you point to it. It covers every app on those devices, but it has a blind spot: YouTube’s ads come from the same servers as its videos, and no DNS filter can tell them apart.
So AdHole adds a second filter, which looks inside web pages: it blocks ad requests and hides the ad slots, starts YouTube videos without ads in your browser and, when a cookie banner offers to reject all, clicks it for you. It runs on the computer where AdHole is installed, and on an Android phone in its browsers, once you have installed its certificate — never inside other apps.
Both filters run as one service that starts with your computer, with one dashboard to see and set everything. A single program: no Java, .NET or Python to install. Its filtering engines are written for it and read public filter lists in the AdGuard / EasyList format.
Price
Free, with no ads and no account.
- AdHole is free. No account, nothing to pay, and no data asked in return.
- There is one version, and every feature in it is free.
- AdHole shows no ads. Its dashboard loads nothing from the internet: everything comes from your computer.
- It sends one anonymous statistic, which you can turn off: a random number replaced every month, its version, the system, and the number of requests blocked since the previous check — the total shown on the home page comes from there. Nothing about your browsing. Details in the software’s privacy notice.
Source code
The source code isn’t published.
AdHole is free, but it isn’t open source: its source code is not published, and it may not be redistributed.
It uses open-source libraries, under licences such as BSD, MIT, Apache and MPL. Their list and licence texts ship with the program and are published in the third-party licences.
If open source matters to you, the comparison of network ad blockers shows which ones are, with a source for each fact.
