All these add-ons expand the possibilities standard browser. The IE Gallery itself has a rather meager list of extensions, and since there is no separate extension store for this browser, you need to go to the official resources of specific plugins and download installer versions for IE.

For a long time, Internet Explorer users have been missing an easy-to-use extension designed to block annoying advertising, while Firefox, Chrome and Opera users enjoyed the popular Adblock Plus add-on.

Adblock Plus is a browser add-on that blocks most advertisements on websites you visit. Some users prefer to see ads, but most are irritated by them, so they would like to remove them completely.

Adblock Plus itself does not block ads. It uses various filter lists to accomplish this task. Internet Explorer can work with these lists without installing Adblock Plus, but this extension allows you to configure exceptions and gives you control over when ads are blocked.

To install Adblock Plus, launch the desktop version of IE and go to this page. Next, click "Install for Internet Explorer" and then save and run installation file.

To run the installation you must have administrator rights. Run the file you downloaded; Select “Yes” if the User Account Control window appears and click “Install”.

Wait for the installation to complete. The installation wizard doesn't offer any custom options, so the process is very simple. At the end of the installation, click "Done".

After installing Adblock Plus, you will have to restart your browser. When you launch IE again, you will be prompted to enable the add-on. Click Enable.

To set up Adblock Plus, you need to enable the status bar. By default this panel is hidden. To enable it, right-click at the top of the IE window and select "Status Bar".

A status bar will now appear at the bottom of the window. On the right side of this line you will see the Adblock Plus icon. If you don't see it, restart Internet Explorer and it will appear.

Clicking on the icon with any mouse button gives access to a number of options:

• “Disable on” (current site) – Adblock Plus will not affect the site you are on. In other words, every time you visit this site, you will see advertisements placed on the pages of the site. You can disable Adblock Plus for your favorite sites if they are not annoying a large number advertisements and do not place it in the path of the main content. This will help them continue to exist and develop.
• “Disable everywhere” – obviously, advertisements will be shown on all websites without exception.
• “Settings” - this menu item opens a new window where you can select the list used to block ads, as well as specify the sites on which you agree to see advertising. To edit the list of sites for which the extension will be disabled, you must click on the “Manage” button.

• “Check for updates” – I guess this option is self-explanatory.

The extension works very well, but it has a few drawbacks. First of all, Adblock Plus does not work on the touch version of Internet Explorer. It only works on the desktop version of the browser. The extension does an excellent job of cutting out all ads, but does not provide enough settings when compared to versions for Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Only one of them can be used available lists filters, and it is not possible to manually add your own lists. In addition, you cannot block only certain ads on the site, as versions for other browsers allow. There is not even a way to report unwanted advertising.

Another issue that I have noticed on several computers with Windows 8.1 and Internet Explorer 11 is that from time to time the extension causes unstable work browser. Otherwise, the work of Adblock Plus is not satisfactory.

So, if you are a regular Internet Explorer user and you are already sick of shock ads, be sure to use this solution to forget about annoying ads on the Internet once and for all.

Have a great day!
