How to Block Ads: The Complete Guide (2026)
July 7, 2026 · 5 min read
Ads slow pages down, track what you do, and get in the way. Blocking them takes about a minute. Here is how to do it on every device.
Block ads on Chrome and Edge
Install an ad blocker extension like All Block from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons. Once enabled, it removes banners, pop-ups and video ads automatically — no setup needed.
Block ads on iPhone and iPad
Safari supports content blockers. Install the All Block app for Safari, enable it in Settings, and grant it access to websites. Ads disappear across Safari.
Block ads on Mac
Install All Block for Safari on macOS and switch it on in Safari's Extensions settings.
How do ad blockers work?
An ad blocker uses filter lists to recognise the addresses and elements that serve ads and trackers, then stops them from loading. Because those requests never download, pages load faster and use less data.
Is blocking ads safe?
Yes. A reputable blocker keeps your settings on your device and can even protect you from malicious ads. Get started with All Block — it is free.
