Yes! You're welcome to install AdBlock for your business or organization. Options are available for both Chrome and Edge.
The same rules apply for enterprises as when you use AdBlock on your personal computer. You decide whether and how much you want to pay. If you plan to install AdBlock on one hundred computers or more, please consider contributing. If you choose to support AdBlock, you can do so for the organization as a whole or per seat. Use your company or organization credit card or PayPal account (we can't invoice you or accept purchase orders).
If you are using Chrome, install AdBlock for Chrome on your users' computers via group policy. See Google's group policy help for more information.
If you are using Edge, install AdBlock for Edge on your users' computers via group policy. See Microsoft's group policy help for more information: Configure Microsoft Edge policy settings on Windows.
Keep Users From Seeing Payment Page
Normally AdBlock's payment page appears every time AdBlock is installed. You can suppress this behavior to avoid your users having to see a contribution pitch every time they open Chrome or Edge.
Then disable the first-run page using extension policies or a JSON file.
On Windows instances that are joined to an Active Directory domain, the first-run page can be disabled with the following registry file:
Chrome
Windows Registry Editor
Version 5.00 [HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom\policy] "suppress_first_run_page" = dword:0000001Edge
Windows Registry Editor
Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\ndcileolkflehcjpmjnfbnaibdcgglog\policy] "suppress_first_run_page" = dword:0000001On Chromebooks, AdBlock's first-run page can be disabled with the following JSON file:
{
"suppress_first_run_page": {
"Value": true
}
}
For more detailed information, please see Google's Chrome for business and education help for Chrome devices.
For more information on configuring Chrome extensions by policy and instructions for OS X/MacOS, please see the Chromium project documentation.
On Linux computers, the first-run page can be disabled with the following JSON file in /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ or /etc/chromium/policies/managed/:
{
"3rdparty": {
"extensions": {
"ldcecbkkoecffmfljeihcmifjjdoepkn": {
"suppress_first_run_page": true
}
}
}
}
Manage Filter Lists for Users
The same mechanism as above can be used to allow central configuration of additional filter list subscriptions.
You will need to set up the following group policy to subscribe your users to additional filter lists. These examples will subscribe users to the EasyPrivacy filter list in addition to the default filter lists new users are already subscribed to:
Chrome
[HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom\policy\additional_subscriptions]
"1" = "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\ndcileolkflehcjpmjnfbnaibdcgglog\policy\additional_subscriptions]
"1" = "https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt"Please see Google's Chrome for business and education help for Chrome devices.
For instructions for OS X/MacOS, please see the Chromium project documentation.
For instructions for Linux, please see the Chromium project documentation.
Manage Custom Filters for Users
You can't use group policy to install AdBlock with your organization's custom filters already in place. However, you can create your own filter list on a local host and subscribe your users to it automatically.
On Windows instances that are joined to an Active Directory domain, a local custom filter list can be enabled with the following registry file (assuming the URL of the custom filter list is "https://yourcompany.com/yourcustomlist.txt").
Chrome[HKLM\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\3rdparty\extensions\gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom\policy\additional_subscriptions]
"1" = "https://yourcompany.com/yourcustomlist.txt"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\ndcileolkflehcjpmjnfbnaibdcgglog\policy\additional_subscriptions]
"1" = "https://yourcompany.com/yourcustomlist.txt"
You can use a JSON file in the following format:
{
"additional_subscriptions": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}
For instance:
{
"additional_subscriptions": {
"Value": ["EXAMPLEURL"]
}
}
