Step 1: Install AdBlock
To install AdBlock (and to ensure you are not installing an imitation) visit https://getadblock.com/ and click the Get AdBlock Now button. This will take you to the right version of AdBlock for the browser you are using. If you need more detailed instructions, check out this article: How to install, uninstall, or reinstall AdBlock.
Step 2: Pin AdBlock to the Toolbar
Once installed, if you are using a desktop browser, be sure to pin the icon to your browser toolbar so you can easily access the AdBlock menu: Show the AdBlock icon in your browser toolbar.
Step 3: Adjust Your Settings
AdBlock begins blocking ads as soon as it's installed. However, you may want to consider making some adjustments. Below are the most popular options for our desktop browser extensions. Note: If you're using the AdBlock for Safari Mac app, check out our User Guide instead.
- When you first install AdBlock you will see non-intrusive ads on some sites. We allow these ads in an effort to make the internet fair for everyone. If you don't want to see them, you can disable Acceptable Ads: About the Acceptable Ads program and "non-intrusive" ads.
- Find out how to allow ads when you need to: Disable AdBlock (and how to enable again).
