Hi HN I built a simple, lightweight ad blocker Chrome extension and wanted to share it with the community for feedback. What it does: Blocks common ads, popups, and banners Handles dynamically loaded content using DOM observation Very lightweight and fast No tracking, no unnecessary permissions Why I built it: I wanted a minimal ad blocker that doesn’t slow down browsing or overcomplicate settings. Chrome Web Store link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ajmonbkfjffgdhhacjm... I’m especially interested in: Performance feedback Bug reports Feature suggestions Thanks…
