In a report, XOware Chief Executive Ken Goldsholl said "We implement ad blocking by maintaining a blacklist of servers, and looking up all addresses on the list before performing a DNS lookup. If a URL that is requested by a client device is on the blacklist, we ignore it, so the data is never sent to the connected device."

XOkey and XOnet, being an open-source device, have kept users safe from cyber threats. Having websites free of ads, regardless of whether it is clean or malicious, it will take you away from being bothered by flashy and unwanted banners when surfing the net.
