PhaseGuard AI is an AI-powered ad and tracker blocker that learns as the user browses, combining a lightweight onboard AI model with smart filtering to analyze pages, scripts and network requests in real time. It detects ads, trackers and scripts by behavior and structure instead of relying only on static lists, so it adapts to new techniques without waiting for filter list updates. An onboard Qwen2.5 model analyzes HTML structure, JavaScript behavior and network patterns, recognizing threats that signature-based lists may miss. When a page breaks or images fail to load, smart site recovery detects first-party breakage signals and offers one-click recovery and whitelisting, and a real-time dashboard shows live counts of blocked ads, trackers and network requests with per-site breakdowns. All AI inference runs locally on the device with no cloud calls and no telemetry, so browsing history never leaves the browser.
