An ad blocker that also stops pop-up ad tabs.
Streaming and download sites hide ad tabs behind their Play and Download buttons. Tabmoat closes them off, and blocks banner ads, video ads and trackers too.

It remembers the ad servers it catches
Some pop-under networks keep moving to new web addresses that no list has caught yet. When one of their scripts opens a pop-under tab, Tabmoat blocks the server the script came from. It blocks it on that site straight away, and on every site once it has been caught on two.
Sites keep working
Tabmoat leaves “verify you are human” checks alone, so sign-ups and logins still work. When a page asks you to turn off your ad blocker, Tabmoat hides the box so you can keep reading.
On YouTube, a video that would have opened with an ad can take a second or two to start. YouTube’s servers hold the video back for about the length of the ad, and that happens on their side, not in your browser.
Privacy
The only things Tabmoat stores are the sites you switched it off for, its block counts and the ad servers it caught. All of it stays in your browser, and there’s no account to make.
