Yes! You're welcome to install AdBlock for your business or organization. Options are available for both Chrome and Edge. At this time we don't have an option for upgrading to Premium in a large-scale deployment. We hope to offer this as an option in the future.
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.
Managed Settings
Below are examples of the most commonly requested managed settings. A complete list of the settings that can be managed for AdBlock can be found here: managed-storage-schema.json
Note: Managed installations won’t receive marketing messages in new tabs, but it’s still advisable to enable
suppress_update_pagefor these installations.
Disable the post-install payment page
By default, AdBlock’s payment page opens after each new installation. You can suppress this behavior using extension policies or a JSON file so your users don’t see the payment page every time they open Chrome or Edge.
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:0000001
Edge
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\3rdparty\extensions\ndcileolkflehcjpmjnfbnaibdcgglog\policy] "suppress_first_run_page" = dword:0000001
On 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
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"
Edge
[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
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"
Edge
[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"] } }
