Tiny Adblock

Blocks common ad networks and popup ad tabs.

Tiny Adblock is a small, simple ad blocker that only works where you tell it to. Most blockers run everywhere and then break the sites you rely on. Tiny Adblock starts switched off. When you land on a site full of ads or popups, click the toolbar icon and flip "Block on this site". The page reloads clean. Don't like the result? Flip it back. WHAT IT DOES (on sites you turn on) • Blocks requests to common ad networks • Stops pages from opening popup windows unless you clicked a link or button for it • Closes popunder tabs that open to a different site • Hides the empty gaps blocked ads leave behind • Hides common cookie-consent banners (separate switch) • Shows how many requests and popup tabs were blocked on the toolbar icon • Remembers your sites, so you only set each one once WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • No account, no tracking, no analytics, no data collected • No "premium" upsells, no nag screens • No changes to sites you haven't turned it on for GOOD TO KNOW • Blocking is per site and covers its subdomains. "www.example.com" and "example.com" are separate entries. • Common sign-in windows (Google, Apple, PayPal and similar) are allowed, but less common ones may be blocked. If a site looks broken, turn it off from the toolbar icon. • The ad list is small and fixed, and it doesn't block YouTube ads. For a full-featured blocker, use uBlock Origin Lite. PERMISSIONS, IN PLAIN TERMS • Block ads (declarativeNetRequest): runs the block list on the sites you enable. • Navigation events (webNavigation): notices when a page opens a new tab so popunders can be closed. • Scripting: turns popup control, ad-slot hiding and cookie-banner hiding on only for sites you enable. • Storage: saves your list of sites on your computer. • Access to all sites: needed so you can enable any site. Nothing runs on a site until you turn it on, and nothing is sent anywhere. Privacy policy: https://qwang216.github.io/tiny-adblock/privacy.html
