About AdBlock
We built AdBlock to provide a worry-free and distraction-free Internet experience for everyone. It is used by tens of millions of users worldwide on all major browsers in more than 30 languages. Created by Michael Gundlach in 2009, AdBlock is now one of the most popular browser tools in existence.
AdBlock is a really useful ad blocking extension for Google's Chrome browser. It helps to block any annoying ads from interrupting your web browsing experience. AdBlock is a very powerful tool that blocks almost every ad you can think of, including pre-video ads on YouTube. How to adblock Safari and Chrome on a Mac We show how to block annoying online adverts, popups, trackers, autoplay videos and more on your Mac, whether your web browser of choice is Safari or Chrome.
The open-source software we create is designed to give users control over what they see in their web browser. It also gives users the ability to have control over their privacy by blocking many of the tools that advertisers and technology companies use to track people when they are online.
We believe that publishers should be able to monetize their content via advertising. Some of our favorite content is made possible with ads, and many of our users actively allow ads from creators they like using features available in AdBlock. Our focus is blocking annoying and intrusive ads. Since 2015, we have participated in the Acceptable Ads program , where publishers agree to ensure their ads meet certain criteria . Ads that are deemed non-intrusive are shown by default to AdBlock users. If you'd like to learn more about how Acceptable Ads works, where the money from this program goes, and more, please visit our Acceptable Ads FAQ.
We are a diverse, fully remote team with employees spread across North America and the globe. Our designers, developers, writers, managers, and more are obsessed with making the Internet a better place. We believe that everyone has a right to surf the web without being bombarded with pop-ups or video ads or being tracked by advertisers everywhere they go.
If you remove AdBlock from Chrome and it keeps coming back, you're most likely running into an issue with Chrome's sync feature. You have probably signed in to Chrome on that computer. Signing in to Chrome allows you to use your settings, bookmarks, extensions, and browsing history across all of your signed-in devices through your Google account. If you delete an extension but it's back when you sign in to Chrome again, it's being reinstalled from the synced data in your Google account.
When you have a sync issue without an error message, such as an extension that won't uninstall, here's what you can try:
Recreate Chrome Profile
- Right-click the AdBlock button in Chrome's extensions bar and select Remove from Chrome, then Remove
- Create a new user profile.
- On the Chrome menu, select Exit (Windows) or Quit (Mac)
- Restart Chrome
