Ad blockers are the obvious solution to removing unwanted ads on the web. Paid ad blockers are typically the best option if you want something that works the best, but many free ad blockers might just get the job done for you.

Far from being just a browser plugin, AdLock also offers Windows and Android ad-blocking tools that help block ads across your apps. Its feature set is long, especially for a free adblocker, which helps make it one of the better options on our list for wide-ranging usefulness beyond just blocking ads.
AdLock is designed to get rid of all forms of ads, and with but one exception, cleared away all of the ads that we tested across a variety of sites. This service blocked every ad on the various websites that we tested for this article, including ads on YouTube and other ad-supported streaming sites.
AdGuard does exactly what you want it to do. You can block all of the types of advertisements that we tested, which is positive. It also carries a wide range of adjustable features that make it exceptionally useful for privacy and security, such as anti-phishing, anti-malware, and a cookie destroyer that deletes third-party cookies after an amount of time that you can independently set.
Surfshark is best known as a top-rated VPN, but it also offers a potent ad-blocking tool called CleanWeb. This feature effectively blocks a variety of advertisements, including pop-ups, banners, and video ads. Its ability to bypass ad-blocking detection on some websites is another valuable asset.
Another open-source project, AdBlocker Ultimate is good at removing most ads you might come across. In testing, it was able to dispel ads on YouTube and most display ads on various sites we tested. This ad blocker is also widely used and highly rated. It has 4.8 out of 5 from Google Chrome users, and over 800,000 installs.
Thankfully, Stands lives up to its promise of blocking ads. That included the more aggressive advertisements found on Orlando Sentinel, as well as other display ads, autoplay video ads, and ads on YouTube.
With over 10 million downloads on the Chrome browser alone, Adblock Plus is the most popular ad blocking software around. A free and open-source project from the eye/o, Adblock Plus is the primary source code for many other free ad blockers available to download.
This plugin has been hailed as the best pop-up blocker on the market by several other tech sites, which is a fair claim, although not necessarily the case from our testing. Poper Blocker works well, and we can certainly recommend it for most ad-blocking. However, it does leave many ads that the top free ad blockers on our list completely block every time.
Both the Chrome and Firefox versions of this plugin work well to block not just pop-ups but website overlays that are exceedingly common as well. For example, this tool blocks the ad-blocking overlay used by Orlando Sentinel, as well as the age verification overlay used by Tubi. If it fails to block an overlay, you can right-click the overlay to remove it. And, as with other blockers, whitelisting is available, as is the option to report when a pop-up fails to get blocked by the plugin.
Trustnav is an antivirus company developed in Andorra that provides a combination adblocker and antivirus Google Chrome plugin. The antivirus solution, which is premium and costs $1.99 per month, is currently unavailable. For now, you can use the solo adblocker plugin for free.
This Firefox-only ad blocker is not so much an ad blocker, but a script blocker. NoScript prevents all types of scripts from loading on your web pages: Javascript, Java, Flash, and a number of other plugins. You can allow certain types of scripts, but the service takes a bit of a heavy hand by default.
You may have heard of the popular ad blockers Privacy Badger and Ghostery. While we like and respect these two ad blockers, neither met our criteria based on how they function. Neither of these plugins is designed to block ads, specifically, but to deny website ads and other website elements that betray user privacy. As a result, both will block some ads some of the time but are primarily focused on privacy instead of complete security online.
Advertisements come in many flavors, from pop-up ads to on-page advertisements and more. Some websites have even started throwing up a separate page for their ads (such as Forbes) or using autoplay video ads as soon as the page loads.
Whitelisting is a good way to help guarantee that the sites you like and trust continue to get the ad revenue they need. Even if you never click on the advertisements, many sites get some revenue from page views, so allowing their ads to show is still beneficial for those websites.
Many of the ad blockers on our list work almost equivalently well against almost any advertisement you might find. That said, our list is structured best on usefulness. As present, Adblock Ultimate is our favorite free ad blocker.
Any of the options on the list that have a dedicated Windows app (and not just browser apps), are great for Windows 10. That being the case, Adblock Ultimate, Adlock, and Adguard are solid free adblockers for Windows 10 (and potentially Windows 11).
Yes, ad blockers, such as Adblock Ultimate or Total Adblock can block viruses. Because ad blockers prevent certain page elements from loading, this can also prevent infected scripts from load on web pages or prevent pop-ups with malicious phishing links from showing up on your screen. That said, ad blockers are not an effective antivirus tool. If you need an actual antivirus solution that also has an ad blocker, consider Total Adblock.
AdBlocker and Tracker Blocker are two types of software designed to protect your online privacy. An AdBlocker blocks advertisements on websites you visit, while a Tracker Blocker prevents tracking scripts from running in the background on each website you visit. A Tracker Blocker is more effective at protecting your online privacy than an AdBlocker because it prevents tracking scripts from running and collecting data about your browsing activities. It also helps reduce the amount of advertisement clutter on websites, making them less intrusive to browse.
Ad blockers that are trustworthy prioritize your privacy and do not monitor your online behavior. Nevertheless, certain ad blockers may collect anonymous information in order to enhance their performance. You should review the privacy policy of the ad blocker you have installed.
Ad blockers use filter lists to determine what content to block and what to allow on a webpage. These lists have rules instructing the ad blocker to identify specific content on the page. When a match is found, the ad blocker stops that content from loading, effectively blocking the ad.
Google Chrome has an ad blocker, but it may not be as thorough as other standalone ad blockers. Its primary focus is blocking intrusive ads that violate the Coalition for Better Ads standards rather than all ads.
A DNS ad blocker intercepts ad requests at the DNS level within your network, preventing them from loading on your device. Unlike other ad blockers, this type can protect your entire system, not just your browser.
I am running Windows 10 and would like to know which add blocker to use thats free like OPERA on my laptop computer. I currently have Windows 20 / Firefox / loaded as search engines. Is OPERA another search engine? Tired of so many adds popping up. Thanks for your time.
Is it possible to test these on sites like Kissanime where you get banned if they find you have an ad-blocker on your comp? There are a lot of people that get so fed-up with this. Even if you have it switched off, you still get banned.
Trustnav is an antivirus company from Andorra that provides a combination adblocker and antivirus Google Chrome plugin. The antivirus solution, which is premium and costs $1.99 per month, is currently unavailable. For now, you can use the solo adblocker plugin for free.
All of the options mentioned above are very resource lite, especially the ones that are browser extensions. If anything, your browser by itself is going to be pretty resource intensive on an older machine, and if you have a lot of windows open or multiple sessions of the same browser open, your computer could easily slow down. Chrome is a known resource hog, especially, so I would recommend an adblocker running on either Opera or Firefox.
