AdQuell — Private Ad Blocker

A lightweight, privacy-first blocker for ads and common trackers.

Block common ads, pop-ups, trackers, and page clutter locally with private Manifest V3 protection and simple site controls. AdQuell is a privacy-first ad blocker and tracker blocker for Chrome. It blocks common advertising requests before they load and hides leftover page clutter using packaged Manifest V3 rules. Use AdQuell to make everyday browsing cleaner without creating an account or sending your browsing activity to a remote analytics service. Key features: - Block common banner, pop-up, interstitial, and advertising network requests. - Reduce cross-site analytics, telemetry, and social tracking requests. - Hide common ad containers and collapse leftover empty spaces. - Pause protection for the current website with one click. - Manage allowed websites from a clear settings page. - Enable separate Ads, Privacy, and Annoyances filter categories. - Add custom blocked domains and cosmetic CSS selectors. - Export and restore settings between browser profiles. - Keep preferences and aggregate statistics stored locally in your browser. Privacy by design: AdQuell has no account system, analytics SDK, remote backend, or downloaded executable code. Network filtering is performed by Chrome using rules packaged with the extension. Settings and aggregate protection counts stay on your device. AdQuell does not claim to remove every advertisement, fingerprinting method, or first-party video ad. Websites and advertising systems change frequently, so occasional missed content or site compatibility issues may occur.
