Adblock Options

Immediately after installation, a window opens with a notification about the successful operation of the extension on the computer with the browser used, as well as information about the first proposed blocker features.

The ABP settings are quite simple and distributed across several tabs. You can enable or disable the program for a while, as well as configure the display of ads on certain resources according to your needs.

As a rule, most users prefer to remove not all banners, but only intrusive ads that interfere with them. At the same time, they leave viewing text advertising messages, thanks to which the resources they visit have the opportunity to earn.

AdBlock has the initial settings, which provide the ability to view unobtrusive messages, however, if desired, you can disable this feature.

To open the tabs of the blocker, do the following:

  • click on the button with its logo at the top of the browser;
  • after that, select the settings item in the pop-up window: it is at the bottom. The desired window will open.

General tab

In this tab, you can configure blocking and displaying labels: by default, the options for hiding labels in the places of blocked banners and displaying the function of blocking an element have checkmarks in the drop-down menu.

In the same tab there is also a request for feedback: if a malfunction is found in the functions of the blocker or if there are problems with its functioning, you can inform the developers to fix the problem.

Filters tab

The program has two tabs dedicated to filters: Filter List and Personal Filters.


Settings tab

Here you can block the viewing of ads by entering their address with a link, you can hide part of the page if the utility does not block all ads. Here you can also set up a list of sites where it will be displayed, or a list of resources where it will not be displayed.

Program features

Key features include:


  1. text message without animation effects;
  2. element without sound;
  3. a message located in the corner of the page or on the side without closing the content.

The basic requirements are listed in the information that is in the blocker settings. If the user establishes a ban on such information, he browses sites without it.

In addition to banning pop-up and contextual advertising, Adblock offers the following actions:


All these parameters are disabled during installation, but you can enable them immediately after loading by dragging the slider to the ON position. Other options are available on the tabs of the resolution itself.

So, the Adblock Plus program is a free extension that can be embedded in various browsers and very effectively copes with blocking pop-ups, virus ads, and its other types, which contribute to traffic costs and can be dangerous for a computer.

Due to the use of both file extension locks (flash, exe, scripts, etc.) and the rules for hiding areas, the utility is better than other analogues to block viewing of unwanted information.

The blocker also has a list of subscriptions that contain the rules by which resource content is filtered. Thanks to effective methods of blocking, the ability to install on any browser and free distribution, Adblock Plus is a success with millions of users.

Installing the program on the Yandex browser is very easy and does not require registration or complex actions, and this is another reason why this utility is installed more often than others.

Video - How to remove ads from Yandex browser

Adblock Plus for browsers Yandex, Chrome, Opera, Firefox and others - a free extension for modern web browsers, is a smart solution to block pop-up ads with many useful features.

Download Adblock Plus absolutely free, for example for Yandex.Browser, and you will learn how to block online advertising and other useful features in two clicks.

Many users are accustomed to believing that such extensions only deal with ad blocking, although in reality their capabilities are much wider. In the future, they will make filters so flexible that the extension will be able to remove everything superfluous from sites, including navigation blocks.

Activate the Adblock Plus extension in Yandex: Menu - Settings - Add-on. But first you need to download the Yandex browser for Windows 7, 8 or 10 and install.

What to block with Adblock Plus?

To block banners in different countries, different filters are used - RuAdList and standard EasyList are suitable.

Filter Settings:
  You can enable the display of some intrusive ads by checking the box - after this, the extension will only skip text.
  For situations when the user wants to see banners on a particular site (for example, to help your favorite resource earn), an exception mechanism has been developed - by opening the site in a browser, then you need to click on the Adblock Plus icon and select the corresponding item. The extension can be disabled for the entire site, its categories and even individual pages.

Add exceptions and make the internet better:
  Banners have long ceased to be the only annoying factor on the network - many are bored with buttons and plugins of social networks, especially blocking access to content. Adblock Plus will save the user from such elements - for this you need to add them to the appropriate list.
Moreover, you can remove unnecessary elements (comments, promotional materials, etc.) from the social networks themselves - now the function is available for YouTube and Facebook.

Simplify YouTube and protect your data:
  To increase the accuracy of ad targeting, advertisers seek to collect as much data about users as possible without asking permission. Using a special filter, you can prevent them from monitoring your activity. The blocker also filters out malicious domains. If a person tries to enter the site from the “black list” of the blocker, he will immediately receive an alert.

Bring everything back:
  Almost all of the above features in Adblock Plus are implemented as additional blocking filters. It happens that the filtering level is set too tight, which subsequently needs to be weakened.

And even if you are used to hiding comments under a video on YouTube, you can open opinions under your favorite clip in two clicks.
