Best Ad Blocking Software for Web Developers
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
Web developers want ad blocking for everyday browsing, but also need to see their own sites the way visitors without a blocker do. Ultimate Adblocker handles both: open it on your localhost or staging site and turn the site switch off, and that site loads with nothing blocked while the rest of the web stays filtered. The settings page lists every paused site, so you can turn blocking back on later. When a script on a page you're testing doesn't load, pausing the site is a quick way to check whether the blocker is the cause.
