If you spend a lot of time online, you will come across more and more advertisements. To combat them (and many more reasons) use an ad blocker. We list the three best ad blockers for Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.
The best ad blocker for Chrome, Edge and Firefox
In the online world nowadays there are (too) many advertisements and that can be quite annoying. They ensure that your screen is full, but watching YouTube videos is also slower due to the many interruptions. With an ad blocker you take back control, because it blocks unwanted content and ensures that your privacy is better protected.
Whether you use Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Mozilla Firefox, we have listed the three best options for you. Black Friday is just around the corner and many suppliers have already started offering high discounts on their products. That’s why you can install an ad blocker now at an extra cost.
Surfshark’s CleanWeb
NordVPN’s Threat Protection
Proton VPN’s Netshield
Why you want an adblocker
- Block ads
An adblocker is an extension for your browser. The most obvious reason to install one: an ad blocker blocks ads. Your screen becomes clearer, because the busy banners no longer appear. Annoying pop-ups are also a thing of the past.
- Improved user experience
Your browser now no longer has to show advertisements and this makes your user experience better. Looking up something is faster, because your device doesn’t have to download anything you don’t want to see. And of course you will be less likely to be distracted and you will see the information you are looking for more quickly. Please note that some websites simply block your access, but they can easily be added to an exception list.
- Protect your privacy
With an ad blocker you take back control. There are known cases of malware being installed when you click on a rogue advertisement. That is no longer possible if they are not shown. In addition, advertisements often contain many marketing techniques that ensure that companies can follow you. An ad blocker also blocks many of these cookies, giving you better control of your privacy.
These are the three best ad blockers
But which ad blocker should you install? We give you three tips that work well on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox.
1. Surfshark CleanWeb
Surfshark offers you a comprehensive solution, because the CleanWeb ad blocker is part of a package that also includes a VPN. This protects your privacy at a higher level, because it no longer tracks you at all when you are online. CleanWeb easily blocks all ads and trackers.
You will never be asked if you want to accept cookies again and even on smart TVs you will no longer receive videos while watching a series. You can also use the ad blocker on your iPhone via the Surfshark app. You can currently install CleanWeb from Surfshark extra cheaply. Instead of 4.59 euros per month you only pay 1.99 euros per month.
2. Adblocker from NordVPN
NordVPN also has an ad blocker as an extra to their VPN service. This effectively blocks ads and protects your privacy. The software can be installed on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox, but you can also protect your iPhone via the app thanks to Threat Protection via the NordVPN app. With Black Friday around the corner, you can take out a subscription for 3.89 euros per month.
3. Proton VPN’s NetShield Adblocker
NetShield from Proton VPN speeds up your browser considerably. You can see which advertisements, trackers and malware are blocked via the NetShield Privacy Panel. This way you have your privacy under control down to the last detail. You can install it from 4.49 euros per month with a term of two years.
