SafeBlock

Block known ads and trackers locally. Optional privacy controls, cookie rejection, and experimental YouTube filtering.

SafeBlock blocks requests to known ad and tracker domains inside Chrome, using a bundled filter list. No account, telemetry, external DNS service, or hosted filtering is used. Open the compact panel to see this site's network-blocking status, Chrome's page count when available, and the current privacy, cookie-rejection, and YouTube settings. Allow the current domain and its subdomains with one button, or restore blocking. A separate control pauses network blocking across sites. Optional protections: • Apply supported Chrome privacy settings, including third-party-cookie policy, link-click reports, page preloading, and browser advertising features. • Choose explicit rejection or necessary-only options on recognized cookie banners. It does not accept all cookies or merely hide unknown banners. • Enable experimental YouTube filtering and click visible Skip buttons when available. The panel follows your system's light or dark appearance. Settings and website exceptions stay on your device. Website access is requested only when you enable page-level features; the current-site shortcut uses temporary access when you open the extension. Limits: the page count is blocked requests, not individual ads, and resets on navigation. Store builds do not collect session or lifetime totals. Unknown/first-party tracking, unsupported cookie dialogs, YouTube ads, and anti-adblock notices may remain. Allowing a domain affects network blocking only; cookie rejection, YouTube, and Chrome privacy settings are separate. Desktop Chrome only; this extension cannot be installed in iPhone or iPad Chrome.
