AdGuard AdBlocker is a powerful Chrome extension designed to block all types of online ads, including video ads on YouTube, banners, pop-ups, and social media advertisements like those on Facebook. It enhances your web browsing experience by speeding up page loading times and saving bandwidth through effective ad and pop-up blocking.

Beyond ad blocking, AdGuard also protects your privacy by preventing third-party tracking through its extensive tracker filters with over 5,000 rules. It blocks malware, phishing sites, spyware, and adware, reducing the risk of online threats. Users can enable specific filters such as the Social Media Filter to remove 'Like' buttons and other intrusive widgets from websites. AdGuard is free, open source, and requires permissions only to ensure comprehensive cosmetic page cleaning and navigation monitoring for optimal ad blocking.
