Ads
Display ads, video ads, sponsored injections, YouTube pre-rolls. Gone before the page paints.
Free. One-click install. The internet,
The internet,
turned down.
Ads, trackers, autoplay, popups. Gone. Pages load in half the time. You'll forget Hushdot exists. That's the point.

Three things go quiet.
Everything else stays the same.
Hushdot is deliberately narrow. It blocks what should never have been there in the first place, and leaves real content untouched.
Trackers
Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight, the long tail of third-party trackers. Blocked at the network layer.
Intrusive popups
Autoplay videos, newsletter modals, and the screen-takeover 'Subscribe' prompts that wait three seconds before jumping at you.
The same page,
without the noise.
Averages from a test run across 100 top sites in the UK, the day Hushdot was installed vs the day before.
Without Hushdot
- 14 trackers watching every action
- 8 popups per page, on average
- 4.1 seconds waiting for ads to load
- Autoplay video starts before you've read the headline
- 'Accept all cookies' every visit, on every site
With Hushdot
- Zero trackers. The page loads only what it needs.
- No popups. No 'wait, don't go' modals.
- Pages paint in under a second on most connections.
- Autoplay muted by default, everywhere.
- Cookie banners, quietly dismissed on arrival.
“I installed it six weeks ago and completely forgot it was there. Yesterday I opened the same sites on a laptop without it. That was my reminder to tell three friends.”

Straight answers.
If yours isn't here, email hello@hushdot.com.
Is it really free?
Yes. Hushdot is free to install and free to keep using, no trial, no credit card. We offer a £3/month sync tier for people who use multiple browsers and want their blocklists and preferences to follow them, but everything that blocks ads and trackers is in the free version.
How do you make money then?
The sync subscription, and a one-off enterprise licence for organisations that want Hushdot across a managed fleet. No ads, no selling data (we don't collect it), no crypto nonsense.
What data does Hushdot collect about me?
None. Hushdot runs entirely in your browser. URLs you visit never leave your device. We update the blocklist every 15 minutes by fetching a signed file over HTTPS, and that's the only network activity.
Will it break any of the sites I use?
Occasionally, yes. We keep a dashboard of known breakages and a one-click allow-list for any site you want to trust. Most users allow-list two or three sites in the first week and that's it.
Is it faster than uBlock Origin?
Marginally. The main difference isn't speed, it's scope and defaults. Hushdot ships with strict defaults; uBlock ships with permissive defaults. Both are good. Pick based on whether you want to tune it yourself.
Will it slow down my browser?
No. Hushdot adds under 15 milliseconds per page load. Page loads overall become substantially faster because we prevent dozens of tracker scripts from running.
Add to Chrome. That's all.
No account, no signup, no configuration. Install the extension and keep browsing. You'll notice the quiet.
Free forever for individuals. Privacy-first by design. No data collected, ever.
