Ad Muncher is an actively maintained application. It has many features, including the ability to add your own entries to a my filters list that allows you to filter out unwanted pieces of a web page or annoyances on said page. The program also comes with a default server list that is actively maintained (an average of 4 updates to the list per week) and updated automatically via the program so you dont have to do a thing. The problem with programs like maxthon or ad block for firefox is that they dont come with a default list, requiring you to find one from another user and that the lists are as actively handled as is ad muncher. The ad muncher list is actively scrubbed by Jeff, the list maintainer, to make sure that if something is added to the default list, that it is A. Actually an ad, and not content, and that B. It doesnt break something else on any other page. Also, ad muncher will soon support gzip compressed pages, as well as per site filters (I.E., you can setup a filter that only works on one page, so that damage to another page is prevented). If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. Also, check out the latest beta release at
http://www.admuncher.com/beta.pl This release is almost 4.7 final, as Murray is actively working to get it out the door since 4.6 has been out for a while and list updates are no longer supported on it since 4.7 has been in development.
