More than basic ad blocking
Standard ad blocking handles many visible placements, but some pages need deeper cleanup. Shieldly's advanced protection layer focuses on fake buttons, redirect traps, WebRTC privacy, pop-ups and repeated prompts.
9/9 protection modules
Shieldly's protection model can include ads, trackers, YouTube ads, Netflix Assist, cookie walls, pop-ups, distractions, SafeClick and WebRTC leak protection. These modules are presented clearly so users understand what is active.
Manage without complexity
Advanced features should not make browsing harder. Shieldly keeps controls simple with active states, per-site management and privacy-first local storage.
Separate activation from the protection mode
Advanced refers to optional licensed features, while Compatibility, Balanced and Strict describe protection behavior. Enabling a stricter mode is not the same as activating Advanced. Check the license state and each available module in your installation. A disabled optional toggle can reflect activation state rather than a broken interface. Use the current checkout and terms for purchasing details instead of assuming that a descriptive feature page establishes pricing or entitlement.
Activate and verify before troubleshooting a module
Use the Advanced section to enter the license received through the checkout workflow, then check the displayed activation result. Do not paste the license into a public report or an ordinary website form. After activation, review the optional modules individually and reload the pages where you want to test them. Activating a license and confirming that a particular website is supported are separate steps.
Choose features based on actual problems
Cookie walls, promotional pop-ups, distractions, SafeClick and WebRTC controls address different behaviors. Enable the modules relevant to your browsing, then test a familiar set of pages. If a feature causes an issue, record the module and use a narrow adjustment instead of treating Advanced as an all-or-nothing setting. Keep your setup understandable so you can explain what changed when a site begins behaving differently.
Frequently asked questions
Does Advanced guarantee every ad is removed?
No. Optional features expand the available controls, but coverage still depends on browser capabilities and website behavior.
Should I send my license to support in a screenshot?
Hide the full license and other private details. Report the activation message and product version first; do not publish credentials.
