About AdFree - Ad Blocker & Pop-up Blocker

AdFree - Ad Blocker & Pop-up Blocker for a clean, fast, private web AdFree blocks ads, pop-ups, pop-unders and trackers across the sites you visit every day, so pages load faster and stay free of clutter. Turn protection on or off with a single switch and watch the blocked count grow in real time. WHAT IT BLOCKS • Display ads, banners and video ads on YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and everyday sites • Pop-ups and pop-unders — including the kind that hijack a click to open an ad behind the page you actually wanted • Third-party trackers and session-recording scripts that follow you from site to site • Known pop-under advertising networks, stopped at the network level before they load POP-UP BLOCKING THAT DOESN'T BREAK SITES A window you asked for still opens. AdFree only stops the ones you didn't: a window opened with no click behind it, a second window riding along on a single click, or a script faking a click on a hidden link. Sign-in pop-ups, payment windows and ordinary "open in new tab" links keep working normally. KEY FEATURES • One-click protection toggle • Live counter of the ads blocked today, right in the popup • Six blocklists you can switch on or off individually: general ads & trackers, community rules, tracking & telemetry, Russian ad networks, Japanese sites, and rules built from ads users have reported • Protection for YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and known pop-under networks stays on whenever AdFree is on • Per-site allowlist — switch blocking off for a site you want to support • "Report an ad on this page" button to flag anything that slips through • Speaks your language — the popup follows your browser and is translated into 57 languages • Built on Chrome's modern declarativeNetRequest engine for fast, efficient blocking • Lightweight — runs quietly in the background with minimal impact on browsing speed HOW IT WORKS 1. Click the AdFree icon to see your protection status and today's blocked-ads count. 2. Use the top switch to turn protection on or off everywhere, or the site switch to allow just the site you're on. 3. Open Blocklists to switch individual lists on or off. 4. If an ad gets through, click "Report an ad on this page" to help improve future rules. PRIVACY Blocking happens inside your browser. AdFree does not log your browsing history, does not build a profile of you and sells nothing. It inspects pages locally to hide leftover ad boxes, but nothing about those pages is sent anywhere. Nothing is sent in the background. Only two things ever leave your browser, and both are your choice: the address of a page you send with "Report an ad on this page", and — if you uninstall AdFree — your answer on the optional feedback page that opens afterwards. A clean, fast, distraction-free web. Is AdFree free?|Yes, completely free and no account is required. Does it block pop-ups and pop-unders?|Yes. AdFree stops windows you never asked for — ones opened with no click behind them, a second window riding along on a single click, and scripts faking a click on a hidden link. It also blocks known pop-under ad networks at the network level. Will it break sign-in pop-ups or payment windows?|No. A click that opens one window is left alone, so "Sign in with Google", payment windows and ordinary "open in new tab" links keep working. Can I choose which blocklists are active?|Yes. Open Blocklists in the popup and switch lists on or off one by one: general ads and trackers, community rules, tracking and telemetry, Russian ad networks, Japanese sites and rules built from user reports. Protection for YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and pop-under networks stays on whenever AdFree is on. Can I turn it off for one site without disabling it everywhere?|Yes. Add the site to your allowlist and AdFree stops blocking there while staying on everywhere else. What happens if an ad still gets through?|Click "Report an ad on this page" in the popup to flag it for future blocklist updates. Does this extension slow down my browser?|No, it's built on Chrome's native declarativeNetRequest engine, which is fast and lightweight. Does it collect my browsing data?|No. Blocking happens inside your browser, nothing is sent in the background, and no profile is built. The only things that ever leave your browser are the address of a page you deliberately send with "Report an ad on this page", and, if you uninstall AdFree, your answer on the optional feedback page that opens afterwards. What happens when I uninstall AdFree?|Your browser opens a short page on adfree.pro asking why. Answering is optional - you can just close it. If you do answer, only your choice, anything you typed, the extension version and the browser type are kept; your IP address is not stored with it. How do I know how many ads have been blocked?|The popup shows how many ads have been blocked today. The counter updates as you browse and starts again every 24 hours. Is AdFree available in my language?|Yes. The popup follows your browser's language and is translated into 57 languages; anything else falls back to English.
