Adblock Plus

If you’re concerned about online privacy and security, then Adblock Plus is the extension for you. It’s an open source application that uses filter lists to:

• Disable tracking for better privacy
• Block annoying video ads, banners, and pop-ups
• Detect malware hiding in ads

Adblock is completely free, but a donation pop-up will appear after installation. You can simply close it if you don’t want to donate.

Privacy Badger

Privacy Badger is a browser extension that stops advertisers and other third-party trackers from secretly tracking where you go and what pages you look at on the web. It focuses primarily on blocking third party scripts, rather than ads. It's just a coincidence that most online ads contain tracking scripts. I find Privacy Badger super useful, it can even bypass most AdBlock detectors

If you don’t have Google Chrome, you’ll be happy to know that these extensions work with any Chromium-based browser like Opera and Edge. You can also find these extensions as add-ons on Firefox. If you want to learn more about Chrome extensions, contact us today!
