If you keep running into errors when you're trying to install AdBlock from the Chrome Web Store, you can try "sideloading" it instead.
If you are using Chrome Version 124 or lower: You will need to install an older version compatible with Manifest V2. Here is a direct link to a zipped file of the last supported version: Version 5.22.0 - MV2.zip. You can skip to Step 3 below.
- Visit http://code.getadblock.com/releases/.
- Download the zip file for the most recent release of AdBlock and extract it to a location you can find easily (or use the MV2 supported version above if you are on a Chrome version before 124). Note: On macOS and ChromeOS, you can extract a file by double-clicking it. On Windows, you can extract a file by right-clicking and selecting Extract All.
- Type chrome://extensions in the address bar to open Chrome's Extensions page.
- Enable Developer mode in the upper right corner of the page.
- Click Load unpacked extension, browse to the location where you downloaded the file, and select the extracted folder.
- Click Add extension when Chrome prompts you.
Note: In general, it's not a good idea to install extensions that you get from somewhere other than the Chrome Web Store. Additionally, if you install AdBlock without going through the Chrome Web Store, you will not get updates automatically when we release them.
