adzapper ad-removal software
adzapper is a software application that can block ads from being displayed
on your web browser. Instead of ad banners, you see blank spaces:
adzapper transforms the ads into transparent gifs- or filters them out
entirely.
The rules that describe what are ads and what are not ads are called
"zaplets", and are configurable on a per-website basis. This way, when
websites change their ads or their graphic design, it is easy to build
and share new zaplets that block the ads.
Platforms
adzapper has been tested on:
- Linux (RedHat 6.2)
- Windows NT 4.0 (SP3)
- Windows 98
- Windows 95
It should also work on any Unix platform that Python runs on.

Announcements
Please note that the zaplet file format has changed again, as of
adzapper-0.3.0.
Zaplets now use a completely XML-based file format. This format is
incompatible with previous zaplet file formats. All zaplets in the
current repository have been converted to this format. The current
version of adzapper has a web-interface for editing XML zaplets and
conversion programs for your existing zaplets.
