Are you annoyed by internet advertising? Are you concerned about advertising companies like Google and Facebook spying on you? Then get Adblock for Chrome and surf the web in peace! You can easily disable all banners, popups, layer advertisements and video-ads as well as tracking codes, Facebook like-buttons and much more.

Adblock Plus is a free browser extension for Google Chrome that blocks any unwanted element (such as advertisements) from websites. You can either select these elements on your own or you can select one of many free filter lists. By subscribing to a list, all elements defined in this list will be blocked from loading when you visit a website. After the installation you will be automatically subscribed to EasyList which removes all advertisements from the internet for you.

Adblock Plus can do much more than blocking ads: Whatever annoys you on the web, you can just disable it and forget about it. For example, by subscribing to a free privacy protection filter list you can easily disable all tracking codes such as Google Analytics that is spying on your click behaviour and using this information to better target ads to you based on your interests. If you don’t want companies to profile you that way, just install Chrome Adblock Plus and deactivate all tracking.

Other users might also be annoyed by the Facebook like-buttons that you find on almost any website nowadays (including this one). The Facebook like-button is another example of how advertising companies such as Facebook are tracking users to learn about their interests and target ads to them. Adblock Plus has a solution for that as well: By activating the “Antisocial” list you can just block all social-media integration and won’t see Facebook buttons anymore.

With more than 300 million downloads, Adblock Plus is the most popular browser-extension worldwide.

  1. The best addon of all times!

    • No more ads, its like a dream come true!

    • Funny how when you click on the Adblock Plus button in the taskbar, there is a big button at the bottom that says “Recommend us on Facebook”…

  2. I love it!

    • Wow, no more banners and popups. Chrome rocks!

  3. A little better in Firefox but the best extension for Chrome :D

    • Apparently there are some limitations in the webkit engine so ad-blocking will never be as sophisticated in Chrome as it is in Firefox.

      Still I deducted o.5 stars in my rating :)

  4. This is sooo great! I liked it on Firefox but Chrome is faster. No more video-ads on Youtube and it blocks Facebook ads as well. One more reason to switch to Chrome.

    • At last! Finally the internet is clean again! Thanks for potsing!

    • This is definitely the most important of all plugins for Chrome!

  5. I don’t think this is ethical, websites need ad money so they can stay free. I don’t want to have to pay for internet

    • I don’t click on banners anyways so I just might as well block them. I think this Adblock for Chrome extension is awesome and makes browsing the internet fun again. No more annyoing banners telling me I am visitor number 1.000.000 and I have one some kind of a prize :D

      • Adblock Plus is for sure the best of all Chrome plugins. But how will websites make money if this becomes more popular?

    • so do you get your internet free from a well or something?

    • Amazing, all ads are gone

    • I will never surf the internet without Adblock Plus again!
