Features	9.3 AdBlocker Ultimate offers a wide range of features that effectively block ads on websites, YouTube and social media platforms. Ad Blocking: Ads are prevented on various platforms, both on the website and as pop-ups. There are other additional functions here, such as blocking all irritating in-page popups, cookie notices and third-party widgets, which substantially decrease page loading times. The settings can also be used to remove only country-specific advertising and a whitelist can be added. Privacy Filter Blocks an extensive list of various online trackers, counters and web analytics tools. Based on the EasyList Privacy list and upgraded by our team. Additionally you can use the Fanboy's Social Blocking List which Removes social media integration. Security: The Security Filter automatically blocks all malicious domains. The listed filters can all be switched on and off separately and individually.	9.3 PresentBoard is characterized by its extensive range of functions and offers a variety of widgets to different requirements. The customizable widgets allow users to create their own dashboards. Starting with the home weather, personal backgrounds, the stock market prices of your shares, or simply your bookmarks. Everything can be individually arranged and visually customized. The iCalendar and Google Calendar integration worked perfectly in the test so that you can always keep track of your appointments immediately when you open a new tab. It is also worth taking a look at future updates, where PresentBoard has created a list of additional functions that users can vote on themselves to prioritize for future development. In our opinion, a decisive function that competitors have already partially integrated is the integration of ChatGPT directly as a widget in the dashboard.
Performance	9.0 During our test, AdBlocker Ultimate did not experience any performance issues. Ad blocking worked flawlessly on all platforms tested, so there were no disruptions to websites caused by advertising.	8.0 PresentBoard works reliably once it has been set up. Only when customizing the dashboard can minor problems occur. For example, occasionally clicking on the + symbol did not work, which is annoying when setting up. Occasional bugs reported by users in the reviews were actively fixed by the developers in regular updates. Overall, the extension delivers a good performance.
Design	8.5 The user interface is clearly laid out and should be easy to use for every user. The settings page is also very clearly laid out. Only the constant reference in the extension pop-up to the paid Windows desktop version detracts somewhat from the design.	9.0 When selecting the design of PresentBoard, importance was placed on both the visual and the functional. Users have almost no limits when it comes to customizing the dashboard. Whether different backgrounds of the dashboard, colors and backgrounds of the texts of widgets or ready-made templates. With a little time, everyone can find the right design. In our opinion, the design only could only be a little clearer and more intuitive when it comes to adjusting widgets.
Value for Money	9.5 The Web Extension is free of charge. Compared to other free providers, it offers a very high number of functions and options for customizable functions. We would therefore rate the price-performance ratio as very good.	9.5 PresentBoard offers extensive features for being free. Many features are offered for a fee by competitors, the ones here are free, making it a valuable tool for users who want to increase their productivity at no cost. Only the lack of some functions such as a directly integrated AI model is still decisive here compared to competitors. This is usually offered for a fee, but if it were also offered free of charge here, users would have an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Ease of Use	9.0 AdBlocker Ultimate is easy to install and can be used immediately afterwards. Even beginners should find the extra functions easy to use, as they are described in detail. Great importance has been attached to the individual settings for each user.	8.3 There were no problems with the installation process of PresentBoard during the test. After installation, a new tab appears on which users are immediately shown the tutorial video and various sample templates. Great importance was attached to user-friendliness here. This also shows that you do not have to register to use the functions. You only need to log in if you want to save the self-created dashboard in the cloud to avoid losing it. When creating your own New Tab with the various widgets, can be overwhelming at first. Without the tutorial, not all of the diverse number of configurations are immediately self-explanatory. There are also small bugs, such as occasionally being unable to click on the + because the cursor does not accept it or when enlarging/reducing widgets that sometimes require several attempts. In summary, the extension is easy and intuitive to use with the help of the tutorial. However, anyone who wants to set up their dashboard without using the ready-made templates should be aware of the high initial time expenditure.
Security & Privacy	8.2 The tool offers the function of extra privacy protection by preventing tracking and thus increasing online security. However, it is not entirely transparent in the policies whether the data collected by the extension is passed on to third parties.	9.0 PresentBoard takes user privacy seriously and ensures that data is not sold to third parties. The data protection regulations are described transparently so that users who value data security are in the right place. The only negative aspect is a security warning from Google when setting up Google Analytics. The application should still be checked here, if you continue to click that you trust PresentBoard, this has no influence on the later use, but this does not inspire good confidence for the user.
Conclusion	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.	PresentBoard is a new tab extension that offers a variety of widgets and individual customization options. This is exactly the strength of the extension that sets it apart from its competitors and should help everyone in everyday life. Small bugs are still present, but functional errors are quickly responded to and updates quickly fix the errors described by users. The announced updates, including the integration of AI, also give hope for further useful functions that competitors already have. Overall, PresentBoard is a good choice for anyone looking for a personalized and efficient browsing experience.
