Reviewed 3 November 2026. Feature availability depends on browser version, platform, and organization policies. Privacy settings can be changed by the user.

XOV uses bundled EasyList rules for ad requests and banner hiding, plus a separate list of known tracker hosts. Rules refresh with application releases. YouTube video ad reduction is best effort.
