Adblock Plus functions as an adblock for YouTube and other sites the moment you install the extension allowing you to browse the web how you want. You can customize your settings once you install the extension, pin it to your toolbar, and open the menu. In some cases, ads may be displayed on YouTube or other sites. Learn more about blocking ads on YouTube: https://adblockplus.org/youtube. If you need to pause AdBlock Plus, open the extension and click ‘pause on this site’.
Our extension helps keep content free for users by showing some nonintrusive ads that comply with the Acceptable Ads Standard (www.acceptableads.com) by default. If you do not wish to see Acceptable Ads, this can be turned off at any time: https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads#optout.
Please note: When installing Adblock Plus, you will receive a warning that the extension will receive access to your browsing history and data. This is a standard message - we NEVER collect any user information.
We prioritize user privacy and security, ensuring your browsing history and personal information remain private. By downloading and installing this extension, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://adblockplus.org/terms and our Privacy Policy https://adblockplus.org/privacy.

- (2025-09-14) best
- (2025-09-14) Works 100%. Very happy and less frustrated. Thank you, Adblock Plus.
- (2025-09-13) Excellent,works very well and is easy to understand.
- (2025-09-13) Useful! I use this all the time and has helped block many ads and popups.
- (2025-09-13) this extension keep telling me to buy premium to block cookies what a funny thing, the reason i install adblock is to not see ads and now adblocker give me ads switched to ublock origin lite.
- (2025-09-13) its the best adblocker if u are looking for a perfect adblocker go through this one
- (2025-09-13) Good and effective app.
- (2025-09-12) great
- (2025-09-11) Block element is only temporary. What's the point of that?
- (2025-09-11) Used to work as described... But then one bright, sunny day, The Google (Alphabet) decided to start serving the dark Lord Satan, and the internet lamented, and the latency was great. But The Google couldn't hear the anguished pleas from the proletariat. Not over their deafening money-counting machines. Machines which ran off the very suffering from which The Google had wrought forth. And where abundance and bandwidth had once flourished (YouTube), and where neutrality had been the rule of the land, The Google did pillage, and The Google did tax the bandwidth roads, and The Google sent spies upon the once free people of the world. And there was much smashing of keyboards, and stoning of OLED flat-screens. And a new world emerged, one entangled in a wide web of lies and ever-decreasing up and download speeds. And the angels of Hell rejoiced.
- (2025-09-11) its not blocking any redirects or ads
- (2025-09-10) Downloaded this yesterday had thought it would do the trick but sadly more so on YouTube when I click to play a video I am getting annoying adverts prior to the video starting, any ideas on this.
- (2025-09-09) Really helpful, I recommend it if you have serious ad problems or targeted ads.
- (2025-09-09) Great extension, nothing else.
- (2025-09-09) I used this for years and I just recently realized that this is the extension that makes some websites like Twitter and Imgur load so freaking slow.
- (2025-09-08) Such an amazing blocker! So good, that I might upgrade paying less than a cup of coffee.. It's awesome!
- (2025-09-08) It kinda works on youtube, but it keeps auto-scrolling down like 3 shorts to another ad which makes the extension auto-scroll again, makes shorts basically unwatchable. Also has pop-ups, not user-friendly, hard to learn how to use. Ublock Origin/Lite is way better, but it just doesn't work on youtube now, which is why I installed this piece of garbage.
- (2025-09-07) top 1
- (2025-09-07) Insane
- (2025-09-06) excellent
- (2025-09-05) Did not block the adds.
- (2025-09-05) very good
- (2025-09-05) wow just wow!!
- (2025-09-05) BEST AD BLOCKER IN THE WORLD!!! IT'S SOOOOO AMAZING CUZ IT'S FREE AND IN THE 30 MINUTES THAT I HAD IT, IT SAYS THAT IT BLOCKED 48 ADS!?!?!? I'm not sure if I get about one ad every minute, but I'm still grateful that I haven't seen a single AD yet :)
- (2025-09-04) Not the adblock you used to know get Adguard instead if you still wanna support Chromium browsers and also works on Firefox incase Google wants to deceptively remove adblockers even though the FBI recommends to use them. This Adblocker is way absolete now Adguard is an unmatched adblocker focused on cybersecurity and adblocking that Google is violating the rights to use and no it's not illegal to use adblockers shame on you Google I'm reporting you to the FBI again looks like you didn't learn the last time!
- (2025-09-03) Not sure if this really blocks Youtube ads as I've had to turn it off. Mostly I'm fed up of the "Adblock Plus is up to date" popups which defeat the object of having an app to stop ads & popups. It still interrupts my youtube viewing so it's now turned off and will likely be removed. I'm now trying other options.
- (2025-09-03) I’ve been using ABP for many years—probably close to 10. But at this point, I’m really frustrated with the constant pop-up about updates. Every time I turn on my computer, it’s the first thing I see, and it got exhausting. There is no way to turn that off. Bye now...
- (2025-09-01) gr8 app
- (2025-08-31) very good it block youtube ad and didn't disturb me o seeing movie
- (2025-08-30) Better than any other adblock.
- (2025-08-30) It works sometimes. It also causes Youtube shorts to sometimes continuously scroll out of control which is annoying.
- (2025-08-30) I've used AdBlock for years, truly an old reliable!!
- (2025-08-30) Removed the ability to block individual elements on my own. Guess I'll go find a plugin that doesn't paywall what they've offered for free this entire time. Or make one.
- (2025-08-29) not working on youtube
- (2025-08-28) It is very distracting to have random tabs open as advertisements for Adblock Plus. That is not only hypocritical on the part of the extension's developers, but it is a huge workflow disruption as well. I would accept something much more understated that does NOT open a separate tab and does NOT interrupt the work I'm doing in the browser (e.g., critical reading). The current behavior of interrupting is THE reason I will not donate to the plug-in's developers. If they correct course, would consider donating in the future.
- (2025-08-28) premium pop-up?get out from my chrome
- (2025-08-27) Adblock Plus used to be good. Now they just bow down to Google Chrome and lick their boots. Doesn't even do a good job at blocking ads. And they want money for premium service? Get out of here. uBlock Origin was the supreme adblocker and they took that away from us (on Chrome). Adblock Plus does not even deserve to be in uBlock Origin's shadow. Nowhere close to the same league.
- (2025-08-27) STOP OPENING A NEW TAB EVERYTIME I OPEN MY BROWSER
- (2025-08-27) very good
- (2025-08-27) Suddenly doesn't work. What happened? Shows "Uh oh! Something went wrong. Please try again."
- (2025-08-26) Some ads doesn't removed
- (2025-08-26) LIES!!! It's not free. That's false advertising. Don't fall for the scam. There's still a monthly and yearly pay. The sociopathic system is trying to trick you, don't let them. They hardly give anything free anymore.
- (2025-08-26) Satisfied with the good performance for years, thank you. Now, however, there are large pink blocks where ads are blocked. How could anyone think this a good idea? It's as annoying as the ads or more so. I turn it off sometimes now.
- (2025-08-26) Removes all of the side ads but still shows add on youtube unless you refresh the page
- (2025-08-25) This add on gave me a pop up. I didn't like that, but humored it. It lead me to a page that detailed how to stay safe on the internet, and what ads were most suspect. They are protecting people and educating people. 5 stars.
- (2025-08-25) Claims to block ads but rarely works. Google claimed it worked for amazong prime ad spam, it doesn't.
- (2025-08-25) worked at first.... Now it just asks me for money for ads it doesn't block.
- (2025-08-24) SO, SO
- (2025-08-24) its good but why is it asking to pay cus no one gonna pay at all
- (2025-08-23) Had to disable Adblock extension in Chrome (Version 139.0.7258.139 (Official Build) (64-bit)) to get through login to Facebook. While Adblock extension is active, Notification menu hangs and refuses to load for Facebook.
