User reviews

Users generally praise the Ad Blocker Chrome extension for effectively blocking ads and popups on various sites, including some YouTube ads, with a simple and reliable interface that they've trusted for years. Many highlight it as a top free adblocker maintaining browsing sanity. However, recurring issues include inadequate performance on Twitch, occasional inconsistency in blocking ads, and some reports of it not working at all. Despite these flaws, it remains highly recommended for general ad blocking needs.

Extension safety

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.

Ad Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
