Ad-free YouTube. Cleaner websites. Real protection from the companies tracking you. Adblocker Guardian blocks YouTube video ads, banner ads and more than 100 ad networks and trackers. It also tidies up the space ads leave behind, so pages look the way they should. Start your 7-day free trial in under a minute. ▶ YOUTUBE, WITHOUT THE INTERRUPTIONS • No pre-roll ads before your video starts • No mid-roll ads breaking up long videos and podcasts • No sponsored tiles on the YouTube homepage, and no blank gaps where they used to be • No sidebar or companion ads next to the player Ads are removed before the player loads them, so your video starts straight away at normal speed. ▶ CLEANER PAGES, NOT JUST HIDDEN ADS Most ad blockers stop the ad but leave an empty grey box where it was. Adblocker Guardian removes the empty space too. • Display ads from Google, Amazon and 35+ ad networks blocked • Empty ad slots collapsed, so articles close up neatly • Full-page "skin" ads that wrap around a site removed • Floating video ad players removed • Works on major news sites, including sites that use anti-ad-blocker technology ▶ TRACKER PROTECTION Blocks the analytics, advertising and profiling services that follow you from site to site: • Ad and conversion pixels • Session recording: tools that record your clicks, scrolling and typing, including Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, FullStory, LogRocket and Smartlook • Data brokers: services such as LiveRamp, Lotame, Tapad and ID5 that link your browsing to profiles sold to advertisers • Fingerprinting: scripts that identify your browser without cookies ▶ CLICK-ID STRIPPING When you click an ad or a link in a marketing email, a tracking tag is often added to the address, such as gclid, fbclid or msclkid. That tag tells the advertiser exactly who clicked. Adblocker Guardian removes 34 of these tags from the address before the page loads, so the website never receives them. Campaign tags that don't identify you, and affiliate links that support creators, are left in place. ▶ BUILT NOT TO BREAK THE WEB Blocking the wrong thing breaks websites. Every rule in Adblocker Guardian is chosen by hand, and we deliberately leave alone the things you actually use: • "Log in with Facebook" and embedded posts • Live chat widgets and newsletter sign-up forms • Consent banners • Affiliate links, so the creators you follow still get paid • The dashboards of analytics and marketing tools, if you use them for work ▶ PRIVATE BY DESIGN All blocking happens inside your browser using Chrome's built-in blocking engine. We never see, store or sell the pages you visit or your browsing history. ▶ SIMPLE PRICING 7-day free trial on both plans. • Yearly: $25 per year (about $2.08 a month, save 17%) • Monthly: $2.50 per month A card is needed to start the trial. You won't be charged if you cancel before the 7 days are up, and you can cancel in one click from the extension. Payments are handled securely by Stripe. ▶ GET STARTED 1. Click "Add to Chrome" 2. Choose yearly or monthly and start your free trial 3. That's it. Ads and trackers are blocked straight away, with nothing to configure. ▶ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will I be charged during the free trial? No. Your first payment is taken on day 8. Cancel before then and you pay nothing. How do I cancel? Open the extension from your toolbar and choose "Manage subscription". If you uninstall, we show a reminder with a one-click cancel button so you're never charged for something you've removed. Does it slow down my browser? No. Blocking uses Chrome's built-in engine, and pages usually load faster because there are fewer ads and trackers to download. A website isn't working properly. What should I do? Tell us. If you uninstall, the feedback form asks which site was affected, and we use those reports to fix rules quickly. What data do you collect? Only what's needed to run your subscription: a random install ID, your country and the extension version. Stripe handles your email and payment details. Full details are in our privacy policy.
