FlashBlock Utility

In general, the flash block was created as an extension of the browser Mozilla Firefox, but it can also be used in chrome.

It is designed to block any flash animation on the Internet. As you know, there are two types of advertising - text and media, so display advertising (flash animation) is blocked by the Flashblock utility.

In the chrome web store, FlashBlock is called FlashControl and it is in English.

Install flash control.

Flashcontrol is installed, the extension icon will be visible if there is a flash animation on the current page that falls under the application's filters.

Perhaps you have questions related to ad blocking in google chrome. You can ask them below in the comments to this article, as well as use the form with me.

Also, you can ask any questions related to computer topics on the page.

Thank you for reading me

Looking for a way to permanently remove ads in the browser for free without registration and SMS :)? He is. This is a simple and common plugin called Adblock. More precisely, there are not even one, but two popular versions of this extension, as well as several similar ad blockers. There are versions for the Yandex browser, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and other less popular ones. If these extensions do not help, most likely, your computer is already infected with a virus, and in order to eliminate it, you will have to sweat, but first things first.

Browser ad blockers

There are several types of ad blockers. The most popular and easiest to use are undoubtedly Adblock and Adblock Plus. Also, there are less common, but no less effective: uBlock , Adguard , Ghostery , Privacy Badger , Disconnect .

Installing Adblock


The control is done using the button in the control panel and LMB (Left Mouse Click) and RMB (Right Mouse Click) on it.

You can enable and disable certain types of ads, include sites in exclusion lists. All controls are easy and intuitive. You can turn off unwanted objects on the page.

The settings look like this


As you can see, the option to display unobtrusive ads is left by default. This means that ads that do not take up much space and are labeled "ads" will not be blocked. In principle, you can not change the settings, and everything will work as it should, as they say, out of the box.


Website: https://adblockplus.org/ru

Description: browser extension that completely blocks all annoying ads on websites, including Youtube and Facebook ads, share and like buttons, as well as spyware and malware software.
I’ll add on my own that there is a localization of the site into Russian, in contrast to the same. For me, it's about something, yes it says.

Supported Browsers:

  • Chrome (on the WebKit engine: Yandex Browser, Google Chrome and the like)
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera
  • Internet Explorer
  • safari
  • Maxthon
  • Microsoft Edge

There is a mobile browser of its own production for Android and iOS - Adblock Browser.

Installation is also done in one click. As you can see, you can choose your browser from the list

Management and configuration is also done with the help of LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the control panel (to the right of the URL input field) after installing the extension.

And here is what the settings look like from the inside

As you can see, in general, the essence is similar to Adblock: unobtrusive advertising is allowed, there is a white list of domains (the list of allowed domains, Adblock Plus is disabled for them). There are personal filters, where you can set your own parameters of what exactly needs to be blocked on sites (in general, an option for advanced users).
A warning has been issued that filter lists should not be too large, otherwise this can greatly slow down the browser.

In general, these are the two most popular ways to block inappropriate content on websites, and they are more than enough for almost all occasions. Use them and do not forget to include useful sites in the list of allowed domains.

Description: the original Adguard is a firewall with the ability to filter ads, prevent phishing at the network level, that is, incoming traffic is processed before it enters the browser. This is its advantage over Adblock and other browser extensions. It is possible to install the Mac version, as well as mobile Android and iOS.
Adguard firewall is paid, but the cost is far from prohibitive, around a couple of hundred rubles a year. For this, you get a full-fledged commercial product with 24/7 support, ready to use right out of the box.

If you don't want to pay, there are extensions Adguard Anti-banner for different types of browsers.

Supported Browsers

  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera
  • Palemoon

What can I say - Adguard in comparative tests with uBlock , Adblock , Adblock Plus proved to be far from the worst. Yes, and blocking ads in mobile, in my opinion, is a rather useful feature that is not provided at the proper level by far from all available free applications. And here, for a meager fee, a complete set with guaranteed service and support. In general, Adguard is an option for those who value their time and money.


Website: https://www.ublock.org/
Description: a relatively young, but very promising extension for blocking ads on the site. The main advantage of uBlock over Adguard, Adblock and Adblock Plus, its authors call a very low CPU load and memory consumption for the plugin. For clarity, comparison in memory consumption

As you can see, uBlock consumes almost no RAM, its level remains almost at the same level as in the absence of blockers

With the load on the processor, things are even more interesting

Here you can clearly see that uBlock leaves its competitors far behind. In general, if you use Adblock or Adblock Plus, and because of them your browser slows down, I advise you to try uBlock, maybe this is what you need

Supported Browsers:

  • Chrome (Webkit: Google Chrome, Yandex Browser)
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • safari

Installation:


uBlock is very similar to Adblock and Adblock Plus - the same white list, the list of filters used, the ability to add your own. There is a possibility to import and export settings, so you can easily transfer all your settings to another machine and will not lose them when you reinstall the operating system.

Control is done with the help of LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the browser control panel.

Setting: Third party filters - check RUS: BitBlock List and RUS: RU AdList .

After you need to update the filters (find the Update now button). Setup completed.

Another point - some sites have scripts in their arsenal to detect and bypass Adblock and Adblock Plus. uBlock has an interesting Anti-Adblock Killer mechanism - it is a detector of sites with similar anti-blockers. With the help of this anti-block killer, uBlock finds such sites and forcibly removes ads on them. So, here's another plus for using this interesting plugin. Try.

Description: the main task of the extension is to search for and suppress hidden spy scripts embedded in the code of site pages, suspicious objects. Also able to block aggressive ads

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Opera
  • safari
  • Internet Explorer


Website: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Description: essentially similar to Ghostery, the functionality and mission are generally the same as most similar blockers

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser

Description: software that is no exception among its kind. It detects and stops surveillance, including from social networks, cuts ads, reports on the work done, and does it well. This becomes especially clear in light of the fact that the author of the extensions is a former Google employee.

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Opera

If Adblock doesn't help

If you already have an ad blocker installed, but pop-up windows with annoying VKontakte ads and other nonsense have not disappeared, I have bad news for you - most likely you have caught a virus or a trojan. But, do not despair, for every problem there is a solution.

Alternatively, you can start scanning your computer with 2 free utilities from Kaspersky and Dr.Web:

And even if the usual antivirus did not help, you are likely to be able to help special utilities to combat Spyware, Mailware and similar evil spirits. One of these programs can be downloaded here - https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/ .
After the system is scanned, all suspicious objects are sent to quarantine. If by mistake useful files are sent there, they can be restored.

Also worth a look:

The above steps should be enough to fix the problems with pop-up ads.

How to Use Adblock Properly

As you know, advertising is the engine of trade, and without a market, we would be deprived of adequate prices for goods and services. Therefore, not all advertising is bad. In addition, advertising on the site is often the only source of income, due to which the site lives and develops, and there are many such on the Web. I understand that some webmasters, in pursuit of profit, forget about the limits of reason, hanging around the site with advertising like a Christmas tree with garlands. Yes, there are doorway workers, and those who do not shun the spread of viruses and trojans, and here the adblock will definitely help you. But there are also some good, useful, non-intrusive ad sites that you visit regularly that grow and develop thanks to the ads you put on them. I'm not advocating to completely abandon the use of Adblock, but do not forget to add useful resources to the exclusion list of your ad blocker, thereby you will thank the authors for the effort spent on creating quality content.

Are you tired of ads in browsers? If you're bored, then you've come to the right place. Nowadays, advertising occupies a large market, and it is beneficial for search engine companies themselves that there would be a lot of it. More advertising means more money in your pocket. But advertising must be of high quality, and today we will figure out what is needed for ad blocking in modern browsers such as:

  • Google Chrome developed by Google;
  • Firefox developed by Mozilla;
  • Internet Explorer developed by Microsoft;
  • Safari developed by Apple;
  • Yandex Browser developed by Yandex;
  • Opera developed by Opera Software;

For these purposes, we will use a fairly well-known extension (plugin) for browsers Adblock or Adblock Plus, probably the best ad blocker .

Adblock (Adblock Plus)- this is how I already said the extension (plugin) for browsers, which is necessary to block ads: pop-ups, advertising banners or annoying elements that interfere with the normal use of sites.

We will look at how to install and configure this extension for all of the above browsers. Therefore, I propose to highlight the main questions:

Let's move on to watching the Adblock Plus installation video:

Now let's take a look at all these questions. There is a lot of work, a lot of information, so read carefully.

Installing and configuring Adblock to block ads in Google Chrome.

To get started, open this browser, in the upper right corner, click “ Setting up and managing Google Chrome”, in the drop-down list, click on the item “ Setting”.



Now you will be redirected to the page of the online store of extensions from Google. Here in the search bar we prescribe Adblock and click “ Enter". In the list that appears, select our application and press the button “ For free". In the pop-up window, if we press “ Add”.


After the steps have been taken, the extension will be installed in your browser and you will be able to see the application icon at the top right.


Right click on the icon and select " Settings". On the tab " General” do not change anything, go to the tab “ Filter Lists” and check the box Malware Protection”, the rest is left unchanged.


You can see all the tabs and select the settings that may suit you, but I gave an example of a standard setting that I use myself.

Now the extension works and when ads appear on the pages of the site, it will be blocked. The number of blocked ads can be seen next to the icon, a square with a number.


Installing Adblock Plus is similar. Let's move on to setting up the next browser.

Installing and configuring Adblock Plus to block ads in Mozilla Firefox.

All steps are almost identical to those we described for Google Chrome. First, open the Mozilla Firefox browser, find the button “ Open menu”, looking for the item “ Add-ons” and click on it.


Now on the page to which we were thrown in the search bar on the left, enter “ Adblock Plus". In the list that appears, select the extension we need and click the “ Install”.


After the browser installs the add-on, an icon will appear at the top left. Click on it and go to the item " Settings” and see that all the checkboxes are ticked. If they are, then everything is fine, the addition works to its fullest.


Now you can work in Firefox without any problems. Add-ons Adblock For this browser does not exist.

Installing and configuring Adblock to block ads in Opera.

And again we go to the browser, only now in Opera and it will install an ad blocker Adblock.

To do this, click on the icon on the right and select “ Extensions”.


In the extension window, select the last item “ Add Extensions” and we will be redirected to a page where we can download Adblock.


In the search bar, enter the name of the extension and after it finds it, click on it.


On the next page, click on the green button " Add to Opera”.

After successful installation, an icon will appear in the left corner, right-click on it and select settings. See all settings as in Google Chrome. Installing the Adblock add-on is similar.

Installing and configuring Adblock Plus to block ads in Internet Explorer.

Here we click on the button Install for Internet Explorer and follow all the recommendations. After everything has been successfully installed, the browser will ask you to install an icon on the toolbar, click “ Yes". Now at the bottom right you can see the extension icon.


You can leave all settings by default, it will work fine.

Installing and configuring Adblock to block ads in Safari.

And as we have already done, we open the browser again, but now Safari from Apple and follow the link:

We press the button " Download” and download the add-on itself.

After downloading the add-on, install it. Installation is simple, click on the downloaded file and follow all the recommendations.

Now the extension is installed and you can see the icon at the top left. In order to configure it, click on it and select the “Settings” item.


You will be transferred to the Adblock settings, tab “ Are common” leave unchanged, and on the tab “ Filter Lists" put the last tick " EasyPrivacy (privacy)”.

Now everything is ready, in order to block ads by 100%.

Let's move on to the last browser for today.

Installing and configuring Adblock to block ads in Yandex Browser.

The browser is quite young, but still not very popular in Runet, so I'll show you how to install this plugin for it.

and repeat all the steps as for installing on Google Chrome.

I don’t want to do the same scribbling, so go to.

That's how easy we installed add-ons on all browsers, I mainly use Chrome and Firefox, but since I'm doing website layout in parallel with blogging, I use all browsers for testing.

After you install Adblock and Adblock Plus to block ads in your browser, it will become more convenient for you to work and memory will not be wasted on downloading viral banners and advertisements.
