=== Network-wide ad blockers === | |||
{{Main|Ad block}} | |||
Software suites that block access to advertising platforms to devices on the local network. | |||
While limited in what kinds of ads they are capable of blocking, they work where installing a more advanced ad blocker is more difficult or impossible, such as on devices with heavily locked down software or within individual applications. | |||
