PowerBlock – The Privacy‑First Ad & Tracker Blocker
PowerBlock is a lightweight, powerful, Manifest V3 browser extension that protects you without slowing you down. It uses Chrome's built‑in declarativeNetRequest API to block requests at the network level – before any ad or tracker can touch your browser.
Block ads, stop trackers, kill crypto miners, and skip YouTube ads – all before they load. No data collection. No accounts. Just pure privacy and speed.
Features:
📢 Block Ads: Google Ads, DoubleClick, Taboola, Outbrain, Amazon Ads, and 210+ ad networks
👁️Block Trackers : Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, TikTok, LinkedIn, Mixpanel, and 58+ tracking domains
⛏️ Block Crypto Miners: Coinhive, Crypto‑Loot, and 21+ browser‑based miners that steal your CPU
🎬 Block YouTube Ads: Video ads, pre‑rolls, overlay ads, and unskippable ads – automatically skipped or muted
🧹 Empty Containers: Cosmetic filtering hides broken ad placeholders so pages look clean
🔒 Your Privacy – Our Promise
Zero data collection – No telemetry, no analytics, no “phone home”.
100% local – All settings and stats stay on your device
