Is your ad blocker preventing you from using certain websites? Whether you're using the AdBlock or Adblock Plus plugin, disabling your adblocker is easy in all popular web browsers, including Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox—even on mobile browsers for Android like Samsung Internet. We'll walk you through pausing both AdBlock and Adblock Plus, turning off ad blocking for just one site, and disabling your ad blocker completely.
-
1
Open a web browser. This should be a browser in which you have AdBlock or Adblock Plus installed.
-
2
Go to your browser's "Extensions" page.
- Chrome: Click the three vertical dots at the top-right corner of Chrome, select More tools, and click Extensions.
- Firefox: Click the three horizontal lines at the top-right corner, select Add-ons, and then click Extensions.
- Edge: Click the three horizontal dots at the top-right corner and select Extensions.
- Safari: Open Safari, click the Safari menu, and then select Safari Extensions.[1]

Find the AdBlock or Adblock Plus option. In the list of extensions, find the name of the ad-blocker that you want to disable. Extensions either have checkboxes or toggle switches near their names that indicate whether they are enabled or disabled.
-
4
Use the switch or checkbox to disable AdBlock or Adblock Plus. If you're using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, toggle the switch to the Off (gray or white) position to disable the extension. If you're using Safari, remove the checkmark next to AdBlock or AdBlock in the left panel.
- You can re-enable AdBlock or Adblock Plus at any time by toggling the switch back on or checking the corresponding box.

Go to the website. When you load a website in your browser while AdBlock or Adblock Plus are enabled, its icon will appear near the top-right corner of your browser.
- For example, if you want to disable AdBlock on wikiHow, you'd go to www.wikihow.com here.

Click the AdBlock or Adblock Plus icon. If you're using Adblock Plus, you'll see a red stop sign icon containing the letters "ABP" in white. If you have AdBlock, it'll be a red stop sign with a white hand inside.[2]

Turn off ad blocking for the page. If you're using Adblock Plus, slide the switch next to "This website" (to allow ads on the entire website) or "This Page" (to allow ads on the current page only) to the Off position. If you have AdBlock, select Don't run on this page.[3]
- You can turn Adblock Plus back on for this website at any time by clicking its icon and toggling the switch back on.
- To reenable AdBlock for the website, click its icon and select Enable AdBlock on this page.

Refresh the page . You can do this by clicking the curved arrow icon in your browser's toolbar, or by right-clicking a blank area of the page and selecting Refresh or Reload. The previously-blocked ads should now load.

Open Firefox or Samsung Internet on your Android. AdBlock only works with these two browsers on Android. [4]
- These instructions cover AdBlock only, as Adblock Plus is no longer available in the Play Store.[5]

Tap the menu ⋮ . It's the three vertical dots at the top-right corner of the browser.
-

Disable content blocking. The steps are different depending on your browser:
- Firefox: Tap AdBlock and select Pause AdBlock.
- Samsung Internet: Tap View without content blocker.
-

Re-enable AdBlock when you're ready. If you're using Samsung Internet, you don't need to undo anything, as content blocking will reactivate as soon as you go to another site. But if you're using Firefox, tap the menu, select AdBlock, and then tap Unpause AdBlock.

Question
Why do I have to disable AdBlock?
Some sites, particularly news/journalism outlets, request that you disable Adblock because they depend on advertising revenue for income. They need that revenue to pay for the domain name and the staff that creates and maintains the content.

Question
How to disable ads on Mac?
Go to "Library," which can be found if you open Finder > Your Device [Your Macbook - harddisk in the menu]). Delete everything in these folders, unless you know the files: Caches, Extensions, Input Methods, LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons and ScriptingAdditions. Open a new desktop and go to it. Then move the mouse to the "go" and at this moment you must tap the "ALT" button on your keyboard. You should see a hidden library folder, and go to this folder. Delete every file in the following folders: Caches, Input Methods and LaunchAgents. Restart your Mac, and everything should be good.
