AdBlock’s resource page
You can use AdBlock's resource page to see all the requests a website makes and how AdBlock deals with them. You can also use it to create exceptions, filters that customize which resources AdBlock blocks or hides. A resource is anything a web page asks to download to your browser. It could be an ad, an image, style and formatting instructions, or a piece of website code. The resource page is available in AdBlock for Chrome, AdBlock for Edge, and AdBlock for Firefox.
Creating exceptions can be a little bit tricky, and getting it wrong can make a web page stop working. For these reasons, you need to enable advanced user mode to see AdBlock's resource page. To turn on advanced user mode:
-
Click the AdBlock icon in the browser toolbar and select the gear icon
-
On the General tab, select I'm an advanced user, show me advanced options
Show Blocked, Hidden, and Allowlisted Resources
Create a Custom Filter or Exception Rule
As you move your cursor through the list of resources in the Developer Tools window, a Block Item, Add Exception, or Remove Rule bubble appears in the Filter column. Click the bubble that corresponds to what you want to do to that resource:
-
To create a custom filter that blocks or hides the resource, click Block Item, then click Add Exception.
-
To create a custom filter that allows a blocked resource to download or a hidden resource to appear, click Add Exception.
-
To delete a custom filter, click Remove Rule. You can also delete any custom filters you created in AdBlock's options on the Customize tab.
