Ad blocker extensions for Chrome

As of the catalog pass of , this list holds 12 extensions, ordered by current audience and led by AdBlock — block ads across the web (65.0M users).

An ad blocker sees every page you open, so this is a category to pick by track record rather than by promise. Every entry below shows how large its audience is, how it is rated and what it declares in its manifest.

Candidates are Chrome Web Store listings whose title names the job (“ad blocker”, “adblock”, “block ads”, with at least 10 000 users and at least 50 ratings). We then add up to 6 listings the catalog judges to do the same job even though their title never says so, because ranking by who writes the keyword best is backwards. Everything is ordered by current audience, which our own crawler reads from the store up to 2 times a day. Ordering by audience is not a verdict on quality: how many people kept an extension is what we can observe, and how good it is for you is not. One listing here was found that way.

This list follows what people ask for; the store files the same extensions under its own categories:

The same catalog powers the panel: watch a competitor, get told when their numbers or permissions move, and see your own installs next to theirs.
