If only it could fully work that way. If your on youtube, it still shows ads. Facebook? Still shows ads.

It works by blocking domains from specifically known advertising domains, usually ones that would pop up as banners on the side of a website. But if the ads come from the domain you're in, you're fucked, and still have ads.

It's a good first step though
