Adblock Plus functions as an adblock for YouTube and other sites the moment you install the extension allowing you to browse the web how you want. You can customize your settings once you install the extension, pin it to your toolbar, and open the menu. In some cases, ads may be displayed on YouTube or other sites. Learn more about blocking ads on YouTube: https://adblockplus.org/youtube. If you need to pause AdBlock Plus, open the extension and click ‘pause on this site’.

Our extension helps keep content free for users by showing some nonintrusive ads that comply with the Acceptable Ads Standard (www.acceptableads.com) by default. If you do not wish to see Acceptable Ads, this can be turned off at any time: https://adblockplus.org/acceptable-ads#optout.

Please note: When installing Adblock Plus, you will receive a warning that the extension will receive access to your browsing history and data. This is a standard message - we NEVER collect any user information.

We prioritize user privacy and security, ensuring your browsing history and personal information remain private. By downloading and installing this extension, you agree to our Terms of Use: https://adblockplus.org/terms and our Privacy Policy https://adblockplus.org/privacy.
