Ad blocker

An ad blocker hides noisy ads and pop ups so pages load faster and feel calmer. It matters because fewer distractions help you read, learn, and shop with less stress. A good blocker also stops many trackers that follow you across sites. You can allow ads on a site you trust so creators still earn money. With simple rules, you get a safer, cleaner web that works well for kids and adults.

How do I install and set it up?

Open your browser’s store, search for a well known blocker, and add it. After installing, open the icon and follow the short guide. Leave default filters on, then visit a few sites to test. If a page breaks, pause the blocker for that site. Turn on updates so filters stay fresh. This setup gives quick protection without complex steps.

What settings should I try first?

Enable standard filter lists.
Allow ads on trusted sites.
Block pop ups and overlays.
Turn on tracker protection.

How do I support creators fairly?

Use the allow list for sites that are helpful and respectful. Keep the blocker on for pages with loud or unsafe ads. When a site offers a simple support option like a tip jar or subscription, choose it if you can. Fair choices let you enjoy clean pages while still helping good work continue.

Which blocker features matter most?

Element blocking lets you hide a widget that slips through, privacy lists stop tracking scripts, and cosmetic filters tidy layouts. Pausing per site helps with pages that need ads to function. Choose features that make pages readable without breaking them.

How can I fix pages that do not load?

If a video or form will not show, try reloading once. Then pause the blocker on that site and check again. Update filter lists and the extension. Clear cache if the design looks broken. If the problem remains, report the site to the blocker team. Most troubles have simple fixes.

How do I install and turn it on?

Open your browser’s store, search for a trusted ad blocker, and add the extension. Pin its icon so it is easy to reach. In the first run, accept permissions and keep default rules on. Visit a page and check the badge counter. If a site breaks, pause blocking for that site and reload the page.

Which pages should I allow ads on?

Allow ads on small blogs and news sites you trust and want to support. Keep blocking on sites with heavy pop‑ups, fake download buttons, or unsafe scripts. You can also allow only simple text ads. Review your allowlist monthly.

Where can I change rules or see stats?

Which is better: strict or balanced blocking?
