Showing banner and contextual advertising is a great way to make money for any site owner and webmaster. However, for most users, such things are unpleasant: they cover up the important content of the pages and distract from work. Some banners may turn out to be dangerous at all: they download viruses to a personal computer, change web browser settings, and so on. To protect against this type of intrusive advertising, a special application is used - an anti-banner for the Google Chrome browser.

This article describes 3 useful programs with which users can protect their Internet surfing from advertising banners. All applications are free and in fact have the same set of functions. These are AdGuard, UBlock and AdBlock Plus browser extensions.

They connect to a web browser and add new features to it. Each of these add-ons has versions for Google Chrome, so you will not have any problems with installation. If you know how to connect new add-ons to the browser, check out general instruction below.

Plugin Installation

Most of the add-ons that you can connect to Chrome are present in the Google online store. Do not be afraid of the word "Shop" - the vast majority of extensions are completely free. In order to start using the plugin, you need to download and install it. If you don't know how to do this, follow the instructions below:

All! Now the new addon is installed and ready to go. You will see the corresponding icon on the toolbar to the right of the browser address bar. Further in the article, each of the programs is considered in more detail.

AdBlock Plus

It is the most popular application of its kind. Adblock is used by tens of millions of users around the world. The developer of the extension even created his own browser with a built-in "anti-banner" function.

The plugin has an official website from which you can quickly download latest version addon for any web browser, including Google Chrome. This method is much faster than using the extension manager built into the browser. Just go to https://adblockplus.org/en/ . On the right side of the window, click on the Google Chrome icon, then click on the big green Install for Chrome button.

The advantage of AdBlockPlus is the huge database of various types of banners. In addition, the add-on can block not only banners and pop-ups, but also video ads on YouTube and other hostings. With so many features, AdBlock consumes more resources than its competitors. If you have a powerful personal computer, it is recommended to use it.

AdGuard

Another free anti-banner application for Internet browsers. In terms of its functionality and capabilities, it is practically not inferior to the popular AdBlock. This addon has been chosen by over 8 million users.

The utility scans the content of pages, removing banner ads, blocks pop-up windows, and also prevents the execution of various malicious scripts that may be located on website pages. Consumes fewer resources than a more popular competitor, but the database is not so extensive.

AdGuard also has an official Russian-language website where you can download this plugin without searching the Google directory. Follow the link https://adguard.com/en/adblock-adguard-chrome.html and click the "Install" button.

Google Chrome is at the forefront of popular browsers. Despite its considerable functionality, the installed extensions complement Chrome with new features, turning the Internet browser into a powerful personal platform for browsing the Internet. This extension is an ad blocker for Chrome.

Ad blocking tools

Recently, there have been quite a few ad blockers. Among all the variety, there are not quite high-quality products that interfere with the user rather than benefit. Therefore, in this article, we will consider only a quality product.

It is a popular and arguably the best ad blocker for Chrome. To block all ads that are rather annoying:

• restart Google Chrome.

Leave the rest of the work to the plugin. No settings need to be made.

This utility appeared after the above. The developers drew their inspiration from AdblockPlus, but it certainly cannot be called ordinary plagiarism.

The program has more subtle functionality that allows you to customize the display of advertisements where you want. For example, you can block ads from displaying only on a specific page, or prevent ad units from displaying on all pages of the same domain.

A professional free solution for filtering ad blocks is .

With it, advanced users of Google Chrome can:

1. Enable or disable blocking of all pop-ups in a specific page of the domain.
2. Adjust cosmetic filters on the site.
3. Enable and disable large media elements of the site page.
4. Exclude display of third-party fonts for the selected site.
5. Disable or enable the uBlock Origin extension with a single click, without excluding it from the extensions panel.

Adguard program

If the above-mentioned utilities belonged to Chrome extensions, then Adguard is a full-fledged program, with its own graphical interface and functionality.

Compared to extensions for Google Chrome, the utility has its own trump card. Adguard does not hide unwanted ads like browser plugins do. The program cuts out the ad block at the stage of loading the code, respectively, the weight of the page is reduced and its full loading is faster.

In addition, the program works with all popular browsers, and also cleans up such ads from the interfaces of some utilities.

For example, you will get more while using Adguard.

Google Chrome is the most popular browser on the Internet. For over a decade, Internet Explorer dominated the web browser landscape, with only Mozilla’s Firefox and the MacOS browser Safari offering it any sort of challenge after Microsoft effectively crushed Netscape. This has changed radically since the December 2008 introduction of Google’s Chrome, an open-source app that now claims over 40% of the browser market. Let’s look at why users and developers have embraced Chrome and why it’s overtaken Internet Explorer and Firefox in such a short time. In addition, we will recommend you the best free ad blocker for Chrome.

So, why is Chrome is so popular?

The most important thing about Chrome is that its much more faster than other browsers. It starts more quickly than Internet Explorer or Firefox and it has a special engine that downloads web pages in less time. In comparison with other browser, Chrome provides a better navigation experience.

What's more, Chrome has a user-centric approach from Google. If you use Chrome at one computer at work and than use another device at home, you’ll have the same browser history and plugins as long as you’re signed with the same account of Google. Its very comfortable and don´t make you repeat the same thing over and over again. But Chrome is popular not only with its users, but also with developers. A benchmark test on HTML5test.com demonstrated that Chrome has 505 out of a possible 555 points. In contrast, Firefox had 458 and Internet Explorer had 372 points. This test shows a web browser"s accuracy in implementing the web standards HTML5 and Web SQL Database, as well as the WebGL standard. What's more, Chrome has developer tools that make life of developers easier by giving the right diagnoses and informing about issues. But anyway, such a great and functional browser can't protect you from all types of publicity o adware as AdGuard can.

Adblock Adguard enhance security of your computer – the extension is not only a perfect remover of annoying banners and video ads, but also has a anti pop up function that blocks the most annoying ads. Beyond this, AdGuard protects users from malware and phishing sites. With the help of extension button on the browser toolbar, you can read the security report on any website or submit a complaint.

Moreover, the adblocker chrome extension not only blocks ads in chrome, but it eliminates separate advertising elements and you can configure the AdBlocker for yourself. In the settings, you can allow or prohibit showing the contextual advertising that might be useful for you, make up your own white list of websites, which are trustworthy for you, and choose the most suitable filters.

Adguard´s ad block for Chrome uses less memory and CPU, has an extensive database and works faster than other popular adblock extensions.

Let's talk about advertising again. Now there is a lot of advertising, and even less high-quality, so you have to look for ways and experiment a lot in order to work as comfortably as possible. Earlier, we have already considered some ways that help block ads, one of them is an extension (add-on).

Let's first figure out which extension is better Adguard or Adblock, Adblock Plus. According to my observations and tests, I will say that the first extension works much better and blocks many times more ads.

Here is a list of Adguard features that Adblock and Adblock Plus cannot do:

• blocking video ads (Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Youtube, etc.);
• blocking of animated ads (Rich media);
• saving traffic and speeding up page loading;
• blocking all kinds of spyware and software that contains ads (adware);
• protection from malicious sites that contain viruses and more.
• using less memory to solve their tasks;

But if you wander around the Internet, you can find out that there is not only an extension, but also a whole program. Today we will talk about the Adguard extension for browsers.

If you want to learn more about the program, I recommend visiting the official website:

But there is one problem, this program is paid, you need to buy a license. If you just install it, then it will not be able to work to its fullest and will eat your RAM.

Due to the fact that the program is paid, I decided to test how the extension works and I am satisfied with the results.

Hidden tracking systems and collection of information about visitors are also blocked.

Ad blocking occurs automatically based on filtering rules. Filters are compiled by developers and updated periodically. By default, 2 packages are connected - for processing English and Russian sites, others are connected manually as needed.

Custom filters are also supported, you do not need to be able to program or know html markup to compose them.
