Ad blocker for Yandex browser. Adblock Plus - how to remove ads from the browser

Below is a list of the best free ad blockers. But none of them is perfect, so it is most effective to use several solutions at once.

Types of Advertising

When choosing the best blockers, we adhered to the following criteria:

• Completely free;
• Good user ratings;
• No need to register account for use;
• Recently updated (within the last 12 months);
• Implementation as a plugin for at least one browser or operating system;
• Blocks “media ads” (pop-ups, banners, videos, static images, wallpapers, text ads);
• Blocks advertisements in videos (for example, on YouTube).

To test blockers, we used several sites with various types advertisements. Among them: Forbes.com, Fark.com, YouTube and OrlandoSentinel.com.
On Orlando Sentinel, we found aggressive ad formats that most ad blockers cannot block. In fact, only a few of them effectively blocked all ads shown on the Orlando Sentinel.

We have checked each of these free tools based on the specified criteria and rated them. In addition, the ad blockers listed below, with the exception of Stend Fair Adblocker, are software with open source code.

The best ad blockers - browser plugins and applications

The best option for blocking ads is to install a specialized plugin or use a browser with a built-in blocker. They interact with websites much more accurately than standalone programs running on the computer in the background.

Stands Fair AdBlocker
It is only available for browser Google Chrome. With this plugin you can block all types of advertising. But it is only available as an add-on for the Google Chrome browser.
Stands Fair AdBlocker is not designed to block ad blocks, although it can be used for that as well. The development company believes in honest advertising and encourages users who create white lists of ads shown on sites.

uBlock AdBlocker Plus
Unlike other tools, uBlock AdBlocker Plus is easy to use. However, there are some things that the developer could improve. For example, the blocker's website is just a page with the name of the plugin and no additional information.

Block AdBlocker Plus effectively blocks most advertisements, but still lets some through. For example, it did not block the automatic playback of advertising on one of the sites.

Rating: 6.5 / 7

Key Benefits: easy to use, ability to lock elements.

uBlock Plus Adblocker

But by default, the tool applies a fairly “hard” filter.

Rating: 5.5/7

Key Benefits: Complete blocking of scripts.

Works with: Firefox.

Why aren't Privacy Badger and Ghostery on this list?

You may have heard about the popular ad blockers Privacy Badger and Ghostery. The fact is that these plugins are not designed to block ads, but to refuse ads and other elements of sites that violate user privacy. As a result, they both block certain types of advertisements. But first and foremost, the tools are aimed at protecting privacy.

This means that if you use any of these plugins, you won't see the ads you might be interested in. They also provide limited control over what types of ads are blocked. And given their “good advertising” policy, you won’t be able to block a certain part of the ads at all.

Google Chrome Ad Blocker

Despite the loud statements of Google developers, the built-in Chrome ad blocker is not capable of much. While testing it, we found that it skips almost all advertisements.
At the same time, control of the built-in blocker is very limited. Even finding a site that had ads blocked was a challenge. And since Chrome's ad blocker is designed to block certain types of advertisements, most of them are not intercepted.

A note about ad blocking and site revenue

Users hate advertising for several reasons:

• It may slow down page loading;
• Many ads are intrusive and annoying;
• Advertising often does not meet the interests of users;
• Ads may interrupt the viewing experience (particularly on video streaming sites such as Hulu or Crunchyroll);
• Many advertisements contain tracking code that sends information about user behavior to third parties.

The quality of the advertisements shown has become so poor that even Google started use in your Chrome browser adblocker. But Google's intentions. The company owns a large advertising division and, most likely, Chrome does not block AdSense ads.
The advertisements shown to us have various disadvantages. And they can be used to spread computer viruses hackers.

Before installing any of the blockers, keep in mind that the sites you visit often rely on advertising revenue to survive. Profit received from broadcasting advertising still remains the main source of income for many Internet resources. In recent years, the use of ad blockers has caused sites to lose $15.8 billion in revenue.
"White list" is good way Ensure that the sites you love earn advertising revenue. Even if you never click on the ads, they all earn early income from ad views.

Translation of the article " 10 best free ad blockers to remove ads and popups» was prepared by the friendly project team

As they say, “advertising is the engine of trade.” However, due to the fact that there are no clear mechanisms for regulating advertising content on the Internet, it sometimes turns into an intrusive “network element.” Advertising messages can occupy up to 50% of the page area and are displayed in the form of animated banners, static modules, flash videos, etc. In order for users to get rid of unwanted advertising content, special browser extensions have been developed. One of these effective “helpers” is Adblock Plus.

What is Adblock Plus

Adblock Plus (or ABP for short) is a special extension (plugin) for Internet browsers, equipped with multifunctional tools to protect not only your Internet connection, but also the computer as a whole. The main and initial function of Adblock Plus is to block unwanted banner advertising on the pages of sites you visit.

In addition, Adblock Plus is able to offer users a number of equally useful functions:

There are two ways to download and install Adblock extensions for Yandex.Browser. Method one:

1. Go to the official website of the plugin developer and click on the “Install for Yandex.Browser” button (the button will be located immediately on the main page).

   You will be prompted to install Adblock for the browser through which you accessed the developer's page

2. After this, you will be redirected to the Chrome Web Store page, where you need to click on the “Install” button.

   The plugin is distributed free of charge

3. Confirm the installation of the extension by selecting the appropriate item in the notification window that appears.

   Before installation, you can view the version and date information latest update extensions in the additional information block

4. After this, the Adblock Plus plugin will be automatically installed on your computer and will be available through Yandex.Browser.

   After installing the extension, the corresponding icon will appear on the auxiliary panel of Yandex.Browser

There is a second one alternative way install this plugin:

1. Launch Yandex Browser, open its settings panel and select Add-ons.

   The “Add-ons” window in Yandex.Browser can only be opened through the menu; there is no hotkey combination

2. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on the “Yandex Browser Extensions Catalog” button.

   All custom extensions will be located in the “From Other Sources” category

3. IN search bar Type Adblock and select the All results line in the list that appears.

   You can also press Enter to display all found values

4. In the list presented, find Adblock Plus and left-click on its icon.

   Due to the fact that Adblock developers are actively collaborating with Google Chrome, in the future it will be possible to download and install the extension only through the Chrome Web Store

5. In the extension profile that opens, click on the “Add to Yandex.Browser” button and wait for the plugin installation process to complete.

   By expanding the "Access Rights" tab, you can also see what data your Adblock browser will have access

How to set up Adblock Plus

Unlike many other similar utilities, Adblock Plus gives users the right to configure key functionality extensions. In order to exercise this right, you must:

1. Go back to the “Add-ons” options. Find the Adblock Plus extension and click on the “Settings” button. After this, the settings panel will open, which includes four sub-items:
   • "General". Here you can configure the privacy of your presence on sites (the “confidentiality and security” block), the visibility of “acceptable” advertising, the language (the parameter is responsible for blocking advertising in some specific languages), and also enable/disable the “anti-bypass” function (allows block “cunning” advertising that uses special tools to bypass all sorts of built-in filters of known blockers);

     Setting the “Language” parameter depends on what sites you visit (Russian-language, English-language, etc.)

   • "White list of sites." It is a built-in filter with which you can add certain sites to the exclusion list (advertising banners on these sites will always be displayed). You can remove a previously added site from the white list at any time;

     In order to add the desired site to the list of exceptions, just enter its full address in the appropriate line and click on the “Add site” button

   • "Advanced". This is an advanced tool for experienced users familiar with the language Javascript programming. With its help, you can create certain “narrow-profile” filters for displaying banner advertising on websites (for example, hide only animated banners in *.gif format or only embedded contextual advertising etc.);

     By default, Adoblock already has several basic filters built-in

   • "Reference". Responsible for feedback with the extension developers.

     Adblock developers offer users several feedback methods at once

Adblock Plus Performance Test

In order to make sure that Adblock Plus works, let’s conduct a small visual test. Let's go to several sites on different topics, first with the extension disabled, and then with it enabled. Examples:

• sports resource. Adblock coped with blocking a huge number of banner ads (according to the presented statistics - 27 units) on one of the most popular Russian sports sites - championat.com;

  Adblock can even block background ads

• "Yandex.Music". Abdlock is also capable of targeted blocking of banner ads;

  Adblock leaves a built-in active “Hide Ads” widget on the site, when clicked nothing happens

• gaming resource stopgame.ru. The blocker turned out to be very in an effective way combating hidden video advertising equipped with built-in autoplay;

  When loading the Fox News website with Adblock enabled, a message pops up asking you to disable this extension

How to disable Adblock if necessary

You can temporarily disable Adblock in just a couple of mouse clicks:

Alternative ad blockers for Yandex.Browser

In addition to Adblock Plus, there are many other ad blockers, just enter the extension catalog in the search bar keyword Block.

These blockers are quite varied:

Having carried out several tests of the performance of a number of the above extensions for Yandex.Browser, I can say that the main disadvantage of almost all universal complex blockers is the lack of any ability to customize their work (unlike Adblock Plus). Because of this, none of them have shown 100% reliability in blocking ads. For example, Rule AdBlocker periodically fails to block GIF banners, and Stop Reclame does not always cope with flash advertising videos. The most stable extensions turned out to be AdBlocker Lite, AdBlocker Ultimate and Adguard. Moreover, to achieve maximum efficiency, I can recommend using several extensions at once - installing one complex blocker and a number of narrow-profile extensions created for specific services or sites.

Adblock Plus for Yandex.Browser is an indispensable assistant in the fight against intrusive advertising content. Thanks to the flexible and varied functional tools, its work can be customized to suit every taste and absolutely different tasks. And if you also have some knowledge of the Javascript programming language, Adblock can turn into an uncontested ad blocker.

Often, everyone who uses the Internet has experienced inconvenience caused by advertising and pop-ups in.

It doesn’t matter whether you are an advanced Internet user or just like to chat with friends on the Internet after work or find a recipe for apple strudel, but advertising windows interfere you can quickly and easily get what you need. Speeding up the Internet by increasing traffic is useless and ineffective.

Adblock for other operating systems

We learned how to remove pop-up ads in Opera, Chrome and any other browser. But the software Windows is not the only platform it works with this application. How to remove a pop-up window when browsing the Internet and applications on operating systems Mac, iOS And Android?

Advertising filtering when working on the Internet and in mobile applications and games, protection of personal data, acceleration of web pages and applications - and a lot of other excellent functions that Adguard provides to its users.

Advertising is the main source of funding for websites in world wide web. Without her, there would be no VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, or even Yandex. But what to do if advertising offers on some sites take up more than half of the space and interfere with viewing the content? Or are advertisements of very explicit content shown?

The principle of operation of ad blockers is quite simple - when a page is loaded, they cut out from its code javascript elements responsible for loading advertising banners or pop-ups. Thus, using adblock you get rid of advertising and save Internet traffic, which is especially important for mobile devices.

Downloading and installing Adblock Plus for Yandex Browser

1. You can download Adblock on the official website of the developer or in the Opera online store using the link - addons.opera.com/ru/extensions/details/opera-adblock/?display=ru.

2. After downloading, a pop-up window will appear prompting you to install.

Setting up and using Adblock in Yandex Browser

By installing Adblock, you don’t have to additional settings for several reasons:

1. The extension is already configured with basic parameters that allow you to block more than 98% of advertisements.
2. Majority available settings“can only be done” by experienced users.

If you want individuality or just want to support your favorite project without turning off viewing advertising on its pages, let’s figure it out.

Disable all advertising

By default, adblock plus allows only “Unobtrusive advertising” from popular media networks to be displayed - Google Adwords, Yandex.Direct, etc. To disable it, open the settings page by right-clicking on the extension icon in the browser.

All that remains is to uncheck the “Allow some unobtrusive advertising” option.

Now there will be no advertising in Yandex Browser.

Personal lists

By blocking advertising completely, you deprive yourself of the opportunity to see a “tempting” offer that might interest you and deprive sites of earning money. Imagine that one day you go to your favorite forum or personal blog, but it ceases to exist due to lack of money to pay for a domain, hosting, etc.

You can avoid this situation and support your favorite project by adding it to the white list of sites.

Open adblock settings and go to the “List of allowed domains” section.

One by one, enter the addresses of sites on which advertising should not be cut.

Notifications about the need to disable Adblock

The situation with the widespread use of ad blockers is so acute that many webmasters display notifications on the pages of their websites about the need to disable Adblock, or even block some content.

The developers of the extension took this into account and introduced the “Adblock Warning Removal List” function that hides such notifications.

Immediately after installation, it is turned off; you can activate it by checking the box next to the corresponding item.

How to disable Adblock Plus in Yandex browser

If there is an urgent need to disable Adblock Plus, you can do this in three ways:

1. By disabling it on a specific site (the address will be whitelisted).

2. By deactivating the plugin (Adblock will remain in the browser and save the settings, but will not block ads).

You can reactivate the plugin by dragging the slider to the “On” position.

3. Completely remove the extension (All settings will be lost).

Free use, minimal settings and constant updates make Adblock Plus one of the best ad blockers for Yandex Browser.

Starting with version 14.2, the Yandex.Browser program received a catalog of recommended add-ons, in which you can find, download and install useful improvements. In particular, there are various ad blockers that allow you to block banners, pop-ups and other annoying elements.

Where to download Adblock for Yandex browser and how to install it?

In order to download and install an ad blocker in the Yandex browser, you must complete the following steps:

• Open the browser and click on the settings menu icon. Select "Add-ons".

• Select the “Add-ons” tab and go down. Here you need to click on the link “Catalog of add-ons for Yandex Browser”.

• Enter “Adblock” in the search bar.

• You may not find “Adblock” in its pure form. However, there is "Adblock Cash". This is the same ad blocker whose developers promise rewards for its use. In fact, you will not receive anything, and the add-on will block ads.
• Installing Adblock Cash is quite simple. You need to click “Add to Yandex.Browser”.

• Next, click “Install extension” again.

If you want to install an adblock similar in interface, then “Adblock Plus” is perfect for this purpose. To download and install it, follow these steps:

• Follow the link to the product page.
• Select your browser type (small icons under the button) and click “Install”.

• Next, click “Install extension” again.

• Restart the browser for the changes to take effect. The extension icon will be located in the upper right corner.

How to set up Adblock Plus in Yandex Browser?

Will open new tab. There will be 4 settings sections available here:

• List of filters;
• Personal filters;
• List of extended domains;
• General.

By default, the first section is marked “RuAdList+EasyList”. However, you need to put a second mark. The more filters are enabled, the less likely it is that a banner will be able to fit onto the page.

Also, if some unobtrusive advertising does not bother you, then you can leave it. To do this, you need to check the appropriate box.

In the “Personal Filters” tab, you can add your own filter. How to do this? Let's consider a simple example. The banner address will be https://site/ads/banner124.gif, where 124 is the banner number. However, every time the page is loaded, the banner number will change and it is impossible to use this address as a filter..gif, where * are all banners. This filter will block ads. But you should not enter other characters, since in addition to advertising, you can block the site materials themselves. Insert this filter into the line and click “Add filter”.

In the “List of allowed domains” (not sites) tab, you can add a specific resource using a special button by selecting address bar and clicking on the Adblock icon.

In the “General” tab, we leave everything unchanged, since all marks are responsible for statistics and display of tools.

Disabling an ad blocker using Adblock Plus as an example

To disable any extension in Yandex Browser, just select “Add-ons” in the menu.

Then in the list of add-ons you need to find an ad blocker or other extension and check “Disable”.
