Adblock Plus (ABP) is an open-source content-filtering and ad blocking extension developed by Eyeo GmbH (Wladimir Palant), a German software development company.

Ad blocking or ad filtering is a type of software (or less commonly, a computer hardware device), that can remove or alter advertising content from a webpage, website, or a mobile app.

Ad blockers are available for a range of computer platforms, including desktop and laptop computers, tablet computers and smartphones.

A variety of methods have been used for blocking advertisements.

The benefits of this software are wide-ranging and the use of ad blocking software is increasing.

However, many media owners (publishers) rely on advertising to fund the free content that they provide to users.

Some have taken counter-measures against users who block ads on the sites they visit, for example Forbes.

iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system created and developed by Apple Inc. exclusively for its hardware.

It is the operating system that presently powers many of the company's mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.

It is the second most popular mobile operating system globally after Android.

iPad tablets are also the second most popular, by sales, against Android since 2013.

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input.

In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface.

Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.

Mozilla Firefox (or simply Firefox) is a free and open-source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary the Mozilla Corporation.

Firefox is available for Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems, with its Firefox for Android available for Android (formerly Firefox for mobile, it also ran on the discontinued Firefox OS); where all of these versions use the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards.

An additional version, Firefox for iOS, was released in late 2015, but this version does not use Gecko due to Apple's restrictions limiting third-party web browsers to the WebKit-based layout engine built into iOS.
