  Protect your browsing. Defend your peace. Powered by purpose.
  
  ⚡ Why Ransom Zapper?
  Ransom Zapper isn’t just another ad blocker — it’s a mission-driven defense shield built to protect real people from real online threats:
  
  🛑 Phishing scams
  🔐 Ransomware traps
  📢 Fake support popups
  ⚠️ Dangerous download links
  🧼 Scammy "optimizer" utilities
  👁️ Exploitive tracking scripts
  
  If you’ve ever lost money, trust, or peace of mind online — this was made for you.
  
  🔐 Core Protection Features
  ✅ Scam Shield – Blocks phishing links, fake virus alerts, overlays, forced redirects, and support scams
  ✅ Google Safe Browsing Integration – Auto-blocks known malicious websites
  ✅ Bad Utility Scanner – Flags fake antivirus, driver updaters, bloatware, and scam optimizers
  ✅ Ad & Tracker Blocker – Removes banner ads, autoplay videos, tracking pixels, and script-based ads
  ✅ Popup Suppression – Silently removes spammy modals and tab-spam attacks
  ✅ Cookie Banner Cleaner – Eliminates GDPR-style cookie nags
  ✅ Zero-Day Threat Shield – Blocks .exe, .msi, .bat, .ps1 downloads from suspicious sources
  ✅ Installer Override Flow – Let users safely unblock flagged installers with clear warnings and "Continue Download" support
  ✅ On-Page Whitelist Badge – See when elements were removed and re-enable features for any site in one click
  ✅ Whitelist Control – Full feature-level override per website
  ✅ Dark Theme UI – Smooth, accessible popup and dashboard
  ✅ 🛡️ Kingdom Mode (Optional) – Encouraging scripture when threats are blocked
  
  🆕 What’s New in 3.0.4

  🔒 Smart popup removals: See what was removed, why, and easily whitelist if needed
  
  ⚠️ Installer warning modal: Alerts users before proceeding with risky downloads
  
  🧠 Better user education: Every modal now explains why something was flagged — and how to proceed safely
  
  🔁 Auto-reload on whitelist: Sites reload instantly when you allow popups or other features
  
  🛡️ Fraud alerts: Warns users if someone asks them to install remote-control software
  
  🧼 Improved blocking accuracy: Enhanced handling for login modals and signup overlays
  
  🛠️ How It Works
  1️⃣ Install & Relax – Instant protection after setup
  2️⃣ Browse Normally – We guard silently in the background
  3️⃣ Get Alerted – You’ll be notified if a scam, utility, or download is blocked
  4️⃣ Take Control – Manage whitelists, unblock safely, or go full-shield mode
