While using AdBlock, you may occasionally run into a website that requires you to disable your ad blocker before accessing the content.
Desktop extensions - Chrome, Firefox, Edge
Disable AdBlock
- Click the AdBlock icon on the browser toolbar. If you don't see it, here's how to show it.
- On the pop-up menu click Pause on this site.
The page will automatically refresh and ads will no longer be blocked.
Note: This will add the site to your allowlist for 7 days. If you visit the site again within that 7 day period, AdBlock will automatically renew the site on your allowlist for another 7 days.
Re-enable AdBlock
If you want to re-enable AdBlock again, just click the AdBlock icon on the browser toolbar and on the pop-up menu click Resume Ad Blocking.
Desktop app - Safari
If you use the AdBlock for Safari Mac app please see this article.
What about mobile devices?
If you use AdBlock on a mobile device, you can pause AdBlock to stop blocking ads while you're on a site. If you use an iPhone or iPad, you can also allowlist sites.
Why do I still see the notification after pausing AdBlock?
If you continue to see the anti-adblock notification after pausing AdBlock, and you've already tried refreshing the page, there is likely something else preventing ads from showing.
Can't you just block the notifications?
While it's technically possible to block anti-adblock notifications, we have chosen not to do so. In some cases, it's even illegal. You can read more about our philosophy here: Why doesn't AdBlock block anti-adblock walls?
I have Premium. Why do I still see these notifications?
Blocking these types of notifications isn't currently a Premium feature: All about AdBlock Premium. While we would like to be able to offer this, it's a complex issue that has potential legal implications (see the article linked in the question above).
