Cleaner pages. Calmer feeds. You stay in control. AdGuard – Ad Blocker & Social Focus is a local browser extension that blocks ads and pop-ups while helping you reduce distracting social feeds. Browse with fewer interruptions, stay focused, and keep control of the websites you use. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AD BLOCKING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Block ads and pop-ups as you browse, including unwanted ads on video sites, search results, and social networks. • Uses Chrome’s declarativeNetRequest API • Extra on-page filters hide leftover ad units • Runs on your device — your browsing history is not uploaded for filtering • Turn ad blocking on or off anytime from the toolbar popup Works across websites rather than targeting only a specific list of sites. Broad host permission is requested because ads can appear on any website. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOCIAL FOCUS (OPTIONAL) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Social Focus is a separate, per-site toolkit that helps you control distracting feeds and manage how long you spend on websites. Each supported site can be configured or disabled independently. Nothing is required to keep using ad blocking. Use it to: • Hide the main feed, Stories, Reels, Shorts, or comments • Hide sidebars, Marketplace, chat/messages, trending, or recommendation panels • Blur or hide feeds to make endless scrolling less tempting • Switch a site to grayscale • Set a daily time limit with an on-screen timer • Block a site completely when you need a hard stop Social Focus supports a range of popular social, video, productivity, and content websites. Social Focus Premium unlocks these feed controls with a license key after purchase. Ad blocking remains available without Premium. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ PRIVACY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Settings are stored with chrome.storage on your device. We do not collect browsing data or send your feed settings to a profile server. License checks for Premium contact only our license service when you activate or verify a key. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ HOW TO USE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Pin the extension. Open the popup → Ad Block to toggle filtering. Open Social Focus, choose a supported site, then select the Show / Blur / Hide options you want. If a website layout changes, some hide or blur targets may need an update. Reload the page after changing Social Focus. Questions: help.adguard@gmail.com
