AdBlock Shield — Block Ads, Trackers & Pop-ups Browse faster, cleaner, and with more privacy. AdBlock Shield removes intrusive ads, blocks pop-ups, and stops common trackers so pages load quicker and look the way they should — without the clutter. Built on Chrome's modern Manifest V3 and the Declarative Net Request engine, AdBlock Shield is lightweight and efficient. It does its filtering work natively in the browser, so it stays fast and easy on memory. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT IT DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Blocks banner ads, video ads, pop-ups, and pop-unders • Reduces common third-party trackers and analytics requests • Hides YouTube video ads for smoother playback • Automatically dismisses cookie-consent banners (optional) • Cleaner, faster pages that use less data ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Filtering modes — choose Off, Basic, Optimal, or Strict to match each site • Element Zapper — click any element on a page to hide it instantly • Element Picker — create your own precise blocking rules • Custom filters — add your own rules in standard filter syntax • Per-site control — turn protection on or off for individual websites • Block counter — see how many requests have been blocked on each page • Filter lists — manage the rule lists that power the blocker • Backup & restore — export and import your settings any time • Clean, modern interface with multiple dark themes ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW TO USE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1.

This banner helps fund ongoing development and filter-list updates. It is unobtrusive, never injected into the web pages you browse, and does not interfere with the ad-blocking features described above. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Your browsing stays yours. AdBlock Shield does not sell your personal data and does not require an account to use. Filtering is performed locally in your browser. See the full Privacy Policy for details on what is and isn't collected. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PERMISSIONS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The extension requests only the permissions needed to block content and apply your filters across the sites you visit. Each permission is used solely to deliver the features listed above. Enjoy a faster, cleaner, more private web with AdBlock Shield.
