Distraction Control is one of our most popular AdBlock Premium features. With Distraction Control you can prevent annoying pop-up newsletter requests, floating videos, survey requests and "allow" notifications from appearing.
Note: AdBlock Premium is only available on desktop browsers for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. It's not available on the AdBlock for Safari Mac app or mobile devices.
To enable Distraction Control, use these steps:
- Click on the AdBlock toolbar icon. If you don't see it, make sure it's pinned: How to pin the AdBlock menu to your browser.
- Click on the gear symbol on the pop-up menu.
- Click on the Premium Filters tab.
- Select the option next to Distraction Control.
If the Distraction Control option is locked and you've already purchased Premium, make sure to unlock your upgrade. If you haven't purchased Premium and would like to learn more, check out this article: All about AdBlock Premium.
