# Welcome to AdBlock docs

AdBlock is a system-wide ad blocker and privacy tool for Windows. Instead of relying on a single browser extension, it works at the device level — blocking ads, trackers, and malicious sites across every browser on your PC.

This is the official AdBlock documentation. Whether you're installing for the first time, activating a license, or curious how it works under the hood, you'll find what you need here.

## Enhance your browsing experience with Adblock

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://adblocklabs.com/docs/welcome-to-adblock-docs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
