Leave trackers behind.
Block known trackers that follow you from site to site. Your browsing shouldn’t become someone else’s profile.
A shield, not a straitjacket.
Pause protection for a site, hide an element, or get guided help when a page misbehaves. You’re in control.
Less in the way. More in the moment.
Same internet.
Different feeling.
A page can be a little calmer when the distractions disappear. Flip the switch and see what we mean.

A few things you might be wondering
Good questions.
Straight answers.
Something else on your mind?
Say hello
Is Shield AdBlock free?
Yes. Shield AdBlock is completely free to use, with no paid features or subscriptions. You do not need an account.
Which browsers is it made for?
Shield is built for desktop Chrome and Firefox, using each browser’s own blocking engine. Official Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons releases are being prepared. Install links will be added here when they’re available.
What happens when Shield hides Facebook ads?
By default, Shield hides detected home-feed ads locally, without clicking Facebook’s controls. “Use Facebook’s Hide post action” is optional and off by default. If enabled, Shield clicks that control automatically. Facebook may record the hides against your account and use them to influence future ads. Shield sends no telemetry in either mode. Read about Facebook ad hiding.
Does Shield collect my browsing data?
Shield does not upload your browsing history or request data to its publisher. Settings and rules stay on your device. Default protection makes no network requests. Optional remote lists contact their source, which receives normal connection information, including your IP address. Optional Facebook Hide post actions may send feedback to Facebook. Read the full privacy policy.
What if a website stops working?
You can pause Shield for that site. The “Site not working?” assistant guides you through temporarily pausing and restoring protection, all on your device. If you still need help, visit our support page.
Can I choose what gets blocked?
Yes. You can pause individual sites, choose filter lists, and use “Hide an element” to preview and confirm a custom hiding rule. Advanced mode adds more options for people who want them.
Small extension. A little more peace.
