Adblock Plus for Chrome for Mac performs well as a basic add-on, and would be a useful addition to most users' browser toolkits.

Adblock Plus for Chrome for Mac is free and installation is quick and painless, with no user interaction required. Operating in the background during browsing, the add-on did not have any interface or visible technical support. During our testing, the program did block more obtrusive ads from sites like YouTube and Facebook. As indicated with the add-on, some basic advertisements can be seen, since the program is designed to encourage less invasive promotions. The add-on as a whole operated well and did not appear to slow down the browsing experience.

Adblock Plus comes with features designed to improve your internet use:

  • Block Ads Everywhere: It automatically removes many types of ads from websites, including the most annoying ones.
  • Enhance Privacy: It reduces how much third-party trackers can see and collect your information.
  • Security Against Malware: It helps protect you from dangerous ads that might have malware or phishing.
  • Customizable Blocking: You can set up the tool to block only what you don't want to see.
  • Dedicated Support: If you have any problems or questions, you can get help for free.

Adblock Plus remains a top choice for users who want a clean, ad-free browsing experience. Since it started in 2006, it has been downloaded over 500 million times. It keeps up with new updates, ensuring it works well with the latest versions of Chrome.

  • Ease of Use: You can manage the extension from the Chrome toolbar after installation, which makes it easy to use.
  • Upgraded Features: If you choose the Premium version, you can block more than just ads. It stops auto-play videos and annoying cookie notifications too.

For YouTube fans, Adblock Plus is a great tool. It blocks the ads that interrupt videos. If you ever need to see ads on a site, you can quickly pause the ad blocker by clicking 'pause on this site' in the extension menu.

Bottom Line

For those who want an effective advertisement blocker for the Google Chrome browser, Adblock Plus for Chrome for Mac works well in the background and is a welcome add-on for the browser.

Developer’s Description

Block all annoying ads on the web.
Adblock Plus for Google Chrome blocks: banners, youtube video ads, facebook advertisements, pop-ups, all other obtrusive ads. Adblock Plus is a community-driven open source project, and hundreds of volunteers are contributing to the success of Adblock Plus to make sure that all annoying ads are automatically blocked. Please note: When installing Adblock Plus for Chrome, your browser shows a warning that Adblock Plus for Chrome has access to your browsing history and data. This is a standard message, we never collect any information whatsoever. Recently, the Adblock Plus community introduced the Acceptable Ads initiative. By allowing some small and static ads, you support websites that rely on advertising but choose to do it in a non-intrusive way. This feature can be disabled at any time.
