However, there are more options on AdBlock’s button UI, which include Block an ad on this page that enables you to selectively remove a specific advert from a web page. It also includes a Don’t run on pages on this domain option, which is the equivalent of ABP’s Enabled on this site setting. The AdBlock UI is similar to AdBlock Plus as it includes blocked ad stats as shown in the snapshot above. Use the link above to add AdBlock to your browser. This TechJunkie guide also compares AdBlock and AdBlock Plus in more detail. This is a highly rated add-on for Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, Firefox and Internet Explorer that will block most adverts, including those on social media, video websites (such as YouTube) and web mail. However, the developers state that Firefox’s AdBlock Plus partly inspired this extension for Chrome, which has a user base that eclipses 40 million. You can also add websites to the Whitelist tab on the dashboard to keep ads on specific sites.ĪdBlock is an extension with a similar title to AdBlock Plus, but is no way related to it. Aside from adding your own filters with Element picker mode, you can select third-party filters from the filter list shown below. The uBlock Origin dashboard also has numerous settings. Click the Enter element picker mode button, select an image to remove, move the cursor to the bottom right corner of the browser window and press Create to remove the element from page. However, the extension’s toolbar window also includes a more unique Element picker mode that you can remove elements from pages with, such as images and video.

Like most of the alternatives, that includes an enable/disable button with which you can switch the ad blocking on/off for a specific page.

Once you’ve installed the extension, click the uBlock Origin button on the toolbar to open its primary options as in the snapshot directly below. The add-on is available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Edge browsers. This extension has more customization options than AdBlock Plus, and it also includes third-party filters for users to select from. The uBlock Origin add-on has more extensive options for blocking adverts and other page elements than many alternative extensions, and it’s also system resource efficient.
