Ad blocking worked flawlessly on all platforms tested, so there were no disruptions to websites caused by advertising.

| Design Tooltivity's expert score for the 'Design' aspect of each extension. | 8.5 The user interface is clearly laid out and should be easy to use for every user.

The browser integration is seamless, and the user interface is straightforward. |

Winner in this category | 9.5 The free version gives you the basics, but the premium version really shines with its advanced features.

| Conclusion A summary of our findings and final thoughts for each extension. | AdBlocker Ultimate is a great extension for blocking ads. Ads on various platforms are removed without the user noticing. Particularly noteworthy are the various options for customizing the settings. The user can control whether the extensions should only be responsible for blocking ads or whether they should also offer support in the areas of data protection and security. Compared to other ad blockers, the additional function of blocking cookie banners stood out, which we no longer want to do without. Overall, we consider AdBlocker Ultimate with its wide range of additional functions to be a reliable option for anyone who wants to remove advertising from their online experience. | LanguageTool is a reliable and efficient writing assistant that supports multiple languages. Its advanced grammar and style checks make it a valuable tool for writers and professionals. While the premium version offers excellent features, the free version is somewhat limited. Overall, LanguageTool is a solid choice for anyone looking to improve their writing. Compared to Grammarly, LanguageTool holds its own, especially if you need to write in multiple languages. When it comes to writing in different languages, LanguageTool is the way to go. But if you’re only writing in English, Grammarly still delivers better results. |
