Phoenix Ad Blocker
Block every ad. Keep your privacy. Built by earlier contributors of AdBlock.
How Phoenix Is Different?
We didn't just build a better ad blocker. We built a structure that prevents corruption.
Blocks 100% of Ads
No "acceptable ads" program. No allowlist deals. No payments from advertisers. If it's an ad or tracker, Phoenix blocks it. Every single time.
Privacy by Architecture
We don't collect browsing data because our system can't. All filtering happens locally. Your data never leaves your device. It is impossible for us to spy on you.
Can't Be Sold Out
Employee-owned and operated. No CEO to sell the company. No investors to pressure us. Every team member has equal say. You can't buy what isn't for sale.
Open Source & Auditable
Every line of code will be public. Security researchers can audit it. You can verify exactly what Phoenix does. We give you trust through transparency, not marketing.
Forever Free
No paywalls. No premium tiers. No "Pro" features that should be standard. Phoenix works fully for everyone. Donations accepted but never required.
Works with Manifest V3
Designed to work within Chrome's restrictions while maintaining effective blocking. Launching on Chrome, then on Edge and eventually on Firefox. Browser-agnostic architecture.
How It Works
Install Phoenix
One click from the Chrome Web Store. Takes less than 10 seconds.
Ads Get Blocked
Phoenix automatically blocks all ads and trackers. No configuration needed.
Browse Faster
Enjoy a cleaner, faster web. Pages load 25-30% faster without ads.
"How Will You Sustain This?"
Fair question. We're not trying to build a billion-dollar company. We're building a tool that serves users.
Donation Based
When Phoenix launches, we'll ask for optional donations. That's it. No paywalls. No data sales. Support us if you can, use Phoenix either way.
It Works
Donation models work when users trust the mission. Wikipedia raises $185M/year from donations. Signal supports millions of users. Mozilla sustains Firefox.
Small Team, Big Impact
We don't need hundreds of millions. If we can support 7 to 10 contributors full-time, we can build an excellent ad blocker. That's the goal.
Our commitment: If donations can't sustain Phoenix, we'll shut it down before compromising.
