Steve Gibson is planing on discussing this in detail this week on his podcast, but he mentioned it last week and I'm giving it a try. So far liking it.
It's basically a web filter which uses several malicious site lists and the very popular EasyList which blocks most advertising and tracking URLs. I use EasyList on my Surface tablets - it can be added to the Tracking Protection lists in Internet Explorer.
End result is a much safer and faster browsing experience. You're not only preventing ads from loading, but you're also blocking scripts from tracking sites that slow down page loading.
I'm using it to replace NoScript. NoScript was always very hard to curate, and it's almost impossible now that many sites use randomly generated per-session links to cloud servers for content.
Really easy to use. The default settings will do the job out of the box, although you CAN get fancy if you want. You can create your own block lists, and whitelists.
