Adblock Bullseye

Free ad, tracker & video blocking for Chrome. Pro: EasyList, Focus, Insights. Available in 18 languages. Local-first — no telemetry.

Adblock Bullseye’s single purpose is to reduce ads, trackers, malware-related requests, and disruptive page behavior while users browse normally. We request host access for <all_urls> because protection must work on whatever site the user navigates to. Limiting host_permissions to named domains would fail silently on most of the web and break user expectations for a general ad blocker. How host access is used: • Network layer: Manifest V3 declarativeNetRequest applies packaged and user-controlled rules to requests on visited pages (ads, trackers, known bad hosts). • Page layer: Bundled content scripts declared in the manifest (shipped in the package only) apply cosmetic filters and safety helpers on origins the user visits. • User gestures: activeTab and tab/context-menu flows let users pause on the current site, allow/block a publisher, or hide a specific element—only on the tab they are using. activeTab does not replace <all_urls>: it cannot block third-party requests across the user’s browsing session or run proactive on-page helpers on every page load without broad match patterns. We do not use host permission for cross-site advertising profiles, URL resale, or hidden surveillance. Free use is local-first (chrome.storage). Optional Pro may download JSON rules/config from our server after sign-in; all executable JavaScript remains in the uploaded package. We accept that broad host access may trigger in-depth review. This breadth is proportionate to a privacy-focused ad blocker, not optional scope creep. Privacy: https://adbullseye.com/privacy | Support: https://adbullseye.com/support
