Ditch The Ads

Ditch Ads clears ads from the pages you visit so they load faster and stay readable. Block ads across the web and on YouTube, hide intrusive ad blocks, and keep an allowlist for the sites you want to support.

Features & Capabilities

Ditch Ads gives you cleaner, faster, and calmer browsing by removing the ads that clutter the pages you visit. You get web pages that load quicker, read more easily, and stop fighting for your attention, without any complicated setup. Install it, and the clutter starts to clear.

What Ditch Ads does Ditch Ads filters out advertising as you browse, hides the leftover ad spaces that break a page layout, and trims ads on YouTube so you can get to your content sooner. When there is a site you want to support, you can add it to your allowlist in a couple of taps and let its ads through, while everything else stays clean.

Features

  • Block ads across the web: Ditch Ads removes common ads on the sites you visit, so pages feel lighter and load faster.
  • Cleaner page layouts: leftover ad containers and empty gaps are hidden, so the content you came for is easier to read.
  • Fewer ads on YouTube: spend less time waiting and more time watching.
  • Per-site allowlisting: support a favorite site by allowing its ads with a single toggle in the popup, and keep blocking everywhere else.
  • Per-page control: allow ads on just one page when you need to, without opening up the whole domain.
  • Simple toolbar popup: see the current site, manage your allowlist, and toggle options from one tidy panel.
  • Optional Ditch Ads search: when you want it, search the web through Ditch Ads for a cleaner results experience.

Who it's for Ditch Ads is for anyone who wants a quieter web. If you read a lot of articles, the clutter falls away and the words stay front and center. If you watch videos, you wait through fewer interruptions. If you want to support certain creators or sites, the allowlist lets you do that on your terms while everything else stays clean. It works quietly in the background and stays out of your way.

Take back your browsing. Add Ditch Ads and enjoy the web with fewer interruptions.

Is Ditch The Ads Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Ditch The Ads requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Ditch The Ads is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
