Shieldly Ad Blocker

Shieldly Ad Blocker is a local-first Chrome ad blocker and privacy extension built to make everyday browsing cleaner, faster, calmer, and less distracting. Shieldly helps reduce unwanted ads, tracking requests, pop-ups, cookie walls, promoted placements, fake buttons, redirect traps, notification traps, and other intrusive page elements while keeping your settings and protection data on your device. 🛡️ Cleaner browsing, built for Chrome Many websites are overloaded with advertising scripts, tracking pixels, pop-up windows, cookie consent overlays, sticky banners, fake download buttons, autoplay placements, sponsored boxes, and other distracting elements. Shieldly is designed to reduce that noise and give you simple controls for each website. It uses Chrome Manifest V3 and declarativeNetRequest rules so network filtering is handled through Chrome's local extension system. That means Shieldly focuses on browser-based protection, local settings, and clear per-site controls instead of uploading your browsing activity to a remote service. Shieldly is useful if you want a lightweight ad blocker, tracker blocker, pop-up blocker, cookie banner cleaner, YouTube cleanup tool, SafeClick protection, WebRTC leak protection, and simple privacy-focused controls in one Chrome extension. ✅ Key features • Ad blocker for common advertising requests and page placements • Tracker blocker for analytics, tracking pixels, and privacy-invasive web resources • Pop-up blocker for newsletter modals, promo overlays, and intrusive windows • Cookie wall and cookie banner cleanup for common consent overlays • YouTube cleanup for promoted placements, player ads, and empty ad spaces • Netflix Assist for reducing supported ad interruptions without breaking playback • SafeClick protection for fake download buttons, deceptive buttons, redirect traps, fake alerts, and notification permission traps • WebRTC leak protection to reduce local IP exposure through browser peer connections • Regional ad filter selection based on your browser language • Compatibility, Balanced, and Strict protection modes • Per-site controls to pause protection, allow ads, or change protection mode for a specific website • Custom blocked domains for advanced local control • Local diagnostics and support report export • Import and export for local settings • Toolbar popup for quick protection controls • Options page for deeper control and diagnostics 🔒 Privacy-first by design Shieldly is designed to work locally in your browser.
