AdBlocker Ultimate is designed with a singular purpose: remove all ads so you can focus your attention on the content you want.

Features

  • Blocks all ads on all web pages, even on Facebook and YouTube
  • Blocks malware and tracking
  • Improves browser performance by removing unwanted content
  • No "acceptable" ads or whitelisted websites/ad networks

AdBlocker Ultimate is a free extension that blocks text and banner ads (includes Facebook adblock) and malicious domains known to spread malware; it also disables sneaky tracking. We have extensive filters that filter against annoying display and video ads (includes YouTube adblock).

*** What are the advantages over AdGuard, Adblock or Adblock Plus? ***

Unlike other ad blockers, we do not have “acceptable ads” or an advertiser whitelist (i.e. certain advertisers pay to bypass ad filters). Blocking all ads has the added benefit of speeding up browsing because filtering out ads reduces CPU and memory usage. Therefore, the web browsing experience is way faster and outperforms other popular solutions: Adguard, Adblock, Adblock Plus, and even uBlock in some tests.

AdBlocker Ultimate allows you to easily accept ads from websites you choose, in cases where you want to give advertising credit to certain trusted websites - it is user's choice!
