Technologies | Free Full-Text | Energy Conservation with Open Source Ad Blockers | HTML
Internet-related electricity consumption is rising rapidly as global Internet users spend more than 6.5 h per day online. Open source ad blockers have the potential to reduce the time and thus electricity spent using computers by eliminating ads during Internet browsing and video streaming.
