AdBlock is one of the most popular ad blockers worldwide with more than 60 million users on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge as well as Android. Use AdBlock to block all ads and pop ups. AdBlock can also be used to help protect your privacy by blocking trackers. Part 1: If you chose the recurring payment (subscription) option, we will automatically withdraw your payment on the next payment date until you tell us to stop. (We hope to provide a way to manage your AdBlock subscription yourself in the near future.) Part 2: Our payment page opens every time AdBlock. Usually, this is not a bug in Adblock Plus but a problem with the filters (or filter subscription) you are using, these filters tell Adblock Plus to block something that shouldn't be blocked. You verify this by temporarily disabling Adblock Plus. My Adblock Plus filter subscription will block banner ads, flash ads, text-ads, and even completely block some rogue anti-virus and anti-spyware websites preventing infection. Once you're using Firefox, have installed the Adblock. AdBlock is the third kind, a product supported by people just like you who pay whatever they think is fair for not seeing the roughly 1,500 ads we block for them every week. There's no catch. We believe that people who love AdBlock will pay a fair price for it. That's why we make AdBlock.
About AdBlock
We built AdBlock to provide a worry-free and distraction-free Internet experience for everyone. It is used by tens of millions of users worldwide on all major browsers in more than 30 languages. Created by Michael Gundlach in 2009, AdBlock is now one of the most popular browser tools in existence.
The open-source software we create is designed to give users control over what they see in their web browser. It also gives users the ability to have control over their privacy by blocking many of the tools that advertisers and technology companies use to track people when they are online.
We believe that publishers should be able to monetize their content via advertising. Some of our favorite content is made possible with ads, and many of our users actively allow ads from creators they like using features available in AdBlock. Our focus is blocking annoying and intrusive ads. Since 2015, we have participated in the Acceptable Ads program , where publishers agree to ensure their ads meet certain criteria . Ads that are deemed non-intrusive are shown by default to AdBlock users. If you'd like to learn more about how Acceptable Ads works, where the money from this program goes, and more, please visit our Acceptable Ads FAQ.
We are a diverse, fully remote team with employees spread across North America and the globe. Our designers, developers, writers, managers, and more are obsessed with making the Internet a better place. We believe that everyone has a right to surf the web without being bombarded with pop-ups or video ads or being tracked by advertisers everywhere they go.
Nearly all ad blockers, including AdBlock, use rules to determine what should be blocked and hidden on web pages you visit. These rules are also known as filters, and they are provided in collections called filter lists.
The filter lists are maintained by volunteers in their spare time. With a few exceptions, the list authors are not affiliated with the developers of ad blockers. For instance, we maintain the AdBlock Custom filter list, but all the other filter lists available in AdBlock are kept up-to-date by the authors of those particular filter lists. This is why we may have to refer you to the list authors for help when a filter breaks a web page or an ad slips through a filter list. Whenever possible, the list authors will fix the filter or adjust the blocking rules and release an update to the filter list, resolving the issue for everyone.
The most widely used filter lists are available as selectable options in AdBlock's settings. While some filter lists are found in all versions of AdBlock, not all lists are available in AdBlock on every device.

The Acceptable Ads filter list blocks intrusive, annoying ads while allowing ads that abide by Acceptable Ads standards. The intention is to support websites that try to be good internet citizens. You're welcome to disable it at any time. This list is enabled by default when AdBlock is installed. The optional 'Only allow ads without third-party tracking' feature can be enabled when Acceptable Ads is selected.
Acceptable Ads is available in: All versions of AdBlock
'Only allow ads without third-party tracking' is available in: All desktop versions of AdBlock
Note: If you are subscribed to this list, you won't be able to manually block Acceptable Ads. Allowlist filters such as those in the Acceptable Ads list always override blocking filters.
EasyList is the primary list of ad-blocking filters that the majority of ad blockers use. If EasyList is disabled, AdBlock will not be able to block ads. EasyList is enabled by default when AdBlock is installed.

Available in: All desktop versions of AdBlock and AdBlock for Firefox (Android)
If you visit websites in languages other than English, you can subscribe to filter lists for those languages (otherwise, only ads in English will be blocked). In some cases, these lists are enabled by default based on your computer's language and location settings.

I Don't Care About Cookies is the filter list we use to prevent cookie warnings from websites popping up as you browse. Cookie warnings are the notifications that many websites must get from users before installing cookies, which are used for a number of things, from advertiser tracking to maintaining your login information for you. When subscribed to the I Don't Care About Cookies filter list, you will be hiding these notifications and neither allowing nor denying permission (in most cases when the notification is hidden, the website will only install cookies that are required in order for the website to function properly.)
The Adblock Warning Removal list hides requests to disable ad blockers on websites you visit, but does not circumvent anti-ad blocking measures.
Available in: All desktop versions of AdBlock, AdBlock for Android
The Antisocial filter list removes social media buttons that track your browsing activity on web pages.
Available in: All desktop versions of AdBlock, AdBlock for Firefox (Android)
Note:
1. Subscribing to this list can break some website functionality such as links to social media sites or sign-in options that rely on Facebook or other social media.
2. If you subscribe to Fanboy's Annoyances, it's unnecessary to subscribe to Antisocial.
The Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin) Mining Protection List will prevent devices from being used unknowingly to mine for bitcoin or any other eCurrency by cryptocurrency miners (otherwise known as cryptocurrency mining). This list is enabled by default when AdBlock is installed.

Note:
1. As with Antisocial, enabling this list can break some website functionality that relies on Facebook and social media sign-in options.
2. If you subscribe to Fanboy's Annoyances, you don't need to also subscribe to Antisocial.

Subscribe to additional filter lists by URL
Another way to subscribe to specialized filter lists is via an Internet address (URL). Below are a few we know about for Facebook and YouTube. You can also look on the EasyList forum for others.
To subscribe via URL:
1. Click the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar and select Options (gear icon), then click the Customize tab

We recommend using only the filter lists you absolutely need to use.
