AdBlock FAQ

How do I set up AdBlock?

AdBlock takes less than a minute to install. Once you add it to your browser, it works immediately with no configuration required. Ads are blocked by default from the moment you install it, so you do not need any technical knowledge to get started. Here's the full guide for using AdBlock.

How popular is AdBlock?

AdBlock is one of the most downloaded ad blockers in the world, with tens of millions of installs across different browsers and platforms. It has been one of the most widely used browser extensions globally for over a decade.

Is AdBlock free?

Yes. AdBlock is free to download and use on all supported browsers and platforms. There is no subscription required to block ads, pop-ups, or trackers. For users who want additional features, AdBlock Premium is available as an optional upgrade, but the core ad-blocking experience is completely free.

Is AdBlock compatible with Chrome’s Manifest V3?

Yes. AdBlock is fully compatible with Manifest V3, the updated extension framework that Google introduced for Chrome. We adapted early to this change, so AdBlock continues to block ads effectively in Chrome without any drop in performance or coverage.

What browsers and devices does AdBlock work on?

AdBlock works on all major browsers and platforms. On desktop, it is available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, as well as Safari on Mac. On mobile, AdBlock is available for iPhone and iPad through Safari, and for Android. Across all of these, the core ad-blocking experience is the same: install once, and ads are blocked immediately.

Can I customize how AdBlock works?

Yes. AdBlock gives you control over what gets blocked and what does not. You can choose from a range of filter lists to target specific types of content, allowlist websites or YouTube channels you want to support, and create your own custom filters if you want more precise control. Custom filters let you block or hide specific elements on a page that standard filter lists might not cover. A full guide to using custom filters is available in the AdBlock Help Center.
