Show HN: A lightweight ad blocker Chrome extension I built

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/free-blocker-ad-blocker-a/ajmonbkfjffgdhhacjmlkfpdpbfnaeon

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 for checking it out!
