Website owners try to make money on their own Internet resources using advertising blocks. Sometimes advertising messages can be useful for visitors. Unfortunately, in most cases, advertising is aggressive and only gets in the way. Sometimes there is a transfer to a third-party resource.

Many users are interested in how to disable advertising in the Yandex browser and whether this can be done. There are several ways to solve this problem. You need to analyze each method and then choose the most suitable one. This is necessary in order to avoid uninstalling extensions or programs in the future.

How to get rid of ads

  • Browser settings;
  • Installing extensions;
  • Special programs.

Each method will allow you to enjoy surfing the Internet without advertising. It should be noted that each method has both advantages and disadvantages. Before using a particular method, you must study it carefully.

Blocking ads using the browser

Many users do not know how to remove advertising in the Yandex browser by changing the settings. If you do everything according to the instructions, no difficulties should arise even for beginners. First you need to open the menu located in the upper right corner and then select “settings”.

When the settings page opens, go to the “Add-ons” tab.

After a second, a window will open with all the built-in extensions. You need to find the “Security” section, then enable “Flash data blocking” and “Anti-shock”. To do this, just press the on/off button once.

After enabling these extensions, most advertising messages will be blocked. Unfortunately, such a setting may result in the Yandex browser not being able to view Flash animations and videos. You should think twice before enabling these settings.

Blocking ads using add-ons

Get rid of annoying ads, perhaps with the help of add-ons. The best solution is to install the Adblock Plus add-on. It is recommended to log into the Google store first. Then enter the address “chrome.google.com/webstore/” into the web browser. On the page that opens, enter the name of the plugin in the search bar.

When the required browser extension is found, click on the “Install” button. After this, the add-on will be downloaded and installed.

If you use the Adblock Plus plugin to block ads, then it is best to disable “Blocking Flash banners and videos” in the add-ons. It is possible that both extensions may fail.

Another popular add-on that allows you to remove aggressive advertising and banners is the “Flash Block” add-on. The search and installation principle is identical to the Adblock installation. Some users use several add-ons at once, since blocking ads in Yandex is sometimes not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Using third party programs

Sometimes users are interested in how to disable pop-up advertising in Yandex using specialized programs. There are a large number of applications that can get rid of advertising messages.

Banners are removed using Adguard. The program is downloaded from the official website. First you need to go to the main page of the resource. To do this, enter the address " " in the browser. When the web page opens, you need to click once on the download button.

The next step will open a page describing the capabilities of the utility, and then the download will begin. After downloading, the file must be launched following the installer instructions.

Another popular application is Malwarebytes Antimalware. This utility belongs to antivirus programs, but one of its protective functions is blocking ads on websites. The anti-advertising application can be downloaded from the website “ru.malwarebytes.com”. On the main page you need to click on the “Free download” button.

In a few minutes the application will download to your computer. All that remains is to run the downloaded exe file to begin the installation. When the installation is complete, advertising will be blocked.

How to remove ads from social networks

Users often encounter advertising on social networks such as VKontakte or Odnoklassniki. At the same time, sometimes extensions and antiviruses do not cope with the task. It should be noted that the appearance of advertising messages and banners anywhere on the page indicates the presence of a virus.

In most cases, an extension is installed in the Yandex web navigator with some kind of software, which “slips” advertising onto the social page. networks. In this case, only disabling the annoying extension will help. Of course, it’s difficult to immediately understand what add-on adds advertising to the pages. It is recommended to disable all add-ons one by one.

After each disconnection, you must open the social network page, having previously updated it. This is done with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F5. When the desired add-on is found, you just need to remove it. In this case, at the time of deletion, you need to check the box next to the inscription: “Report violation.”

Conclusion

Users who encounter advertising on website pages should use one of the above methods. An extension or application that blocks banners and commercials will not only save the user from annoying messages, but will also speed up page loading.

Are you looking for a way to permanently remove ads from your browser for free without registration or SMS :)? He is. This is a simple and common plugin called Adblock. More precisely, there is not one, but two popular versions of this extension, as well as several ad blockers with similar functionality. There are versions for the Yandex browser, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari and other less popular ones. If these extensions do not help, most likely, your computer is already infected with a virus, and in order to eliminate it, you will have to work hard, but first things first.

Browser ad blockers

There are several types of ad blockers. The most popular and easiest to use are undoubtedly Adblock and Adblock Plus. Also, there are less common, but no less effective: uBlock, Adguard, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, Disconnect.

Adblock installation


Control occurs using a button in the control panel and LMB (Left Mouse Click) and RMB (Right Mouse Click) on it.

You can enable or disable certain types of advertising, and include sites in exclusion lists. All controls are easy and intuitive. You can disable unwanted objects on the page.

The settings look like this


As you can see, by default the option to display unobtrusive advertising is left. This means that advertisements that do not take up a lot of space and are marked as “advertising” will not be blocked. In principle, you don’t have to change the settings, and everything will work as it should, as they say, out of the box.


Website: https://adblockplus.org/ru

Description: A browser extension that completely blocks all annoying ads on websites, including Youtube and Facebook ads, share and like buttons, as well as spyware and malware.
On my own behalf, I’ll add that there is localization of the site into Russian, unlike the same. For me, this says something.

Supported Browsers:

  • Chrome (on the WebKit engine: Yandex Browser, Google Chrome and the like)
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera
  • Internet Explorer
  • Safari
  • Maxthon
  • Microsoft Edge

There is a mobile browser of our own production for Android and iOS - Adblock Browser.

Installation is also done in one click. As you can see, you can select your browser from the list

Control and configuration are also done using LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the control panel (to the right of the URL input field) after installing the extension.

And here's what the settings look like from the inside

As you can see, in general, the essence is similar to Adblock: unobtrusive advertising is allowed, there is a white list of domains (a list of allowed domains, for which Adblock Plus is disabled). There are personal filters, where you can set your own parameters for what exactly needs to be blocked on sites (in general, an option for advanced users).
A warning has been issued that filter lists should not be too large, otherwise it may significantly slow down the browser.

In general, these are the two most popular methods for blocking unwanted content on sites, and they are more than enough for almost all occasions. Use them and do not forget to include useful sites in the list of allowed domains.

Description: the original Adguard is a firewall with the ability to filter ads and prevent phishing at the network level, that is, incoming traffic is processed before it reaches the browser. This is its advantage over Adblock and other browser extensions. It is possible to install the Mac version, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices.
Adguard firewall is paid, but the cost is far from prohibitive, around a couple of hundred rubles per year. For this you get a full-fledged commercial product with 24/7 support, ready to use right out of the box.

If you don't want to pay, there are extensions Adguard Anti-banner for different types of browsers.

Supported Browsers

  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Opera
  • Palemoon

What can we say - Adguard in comparative tests with uBlock, Adblock, Adblock Plus showed itself to be far from the worst. And blocking ads in mobile phones, in my opinion, is a rather useful feature, which is not provided at the proper level by all available free applications. And here, for a meager fee, a complete set with guaranteed service and support. In general, Adguard is an option for those who value their time and money.


Website: https://www.ublock.org/
Description: a relatively young, but very promising extension for blocking ads on a website. The main advantage of uBlock over Adguard, Adblock and Adblock Plus, its authors call the very low processor load and memory consumption for the plugin to work. For clarity, comparison in memory consumption

As you can see, uBlock consumes almost no RAM, its level remains almost at the same level as in the absence of blockers

Things get even more interesting when it comes to CPU load.

Here it is clearly visible that uBlock leaves its competitors far behind. In general, if you use Adblock or Adblock Plus, and because of them your browser is slow, I advise you to try uBlock, it may be what you need

Supported Browsers:

  • Chrome (Webkit: Google Chrome, Yandex Browser)
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Safari

Installation:


uBlock is very similar to Adblock and Adblock Plus - the same white list, list of filters used, the ability to add your own. It is possible to import and export settings, so you can easily transfer all your settings to another machine and will not lose them when you reinstall the operating system.

Control is done using LMB and RMB on the button that will appear in the browser control panel.

Settings: Third-party filters - check RUS: BitBlock List and RUS: RU AdList.

Then you need to update the filters (find the Update Now button). The setup is complete.

Another point - some sites have scripts in their arsenal to detect and bypass Adblock and Adblock Plus. uBlock has an interesting Anti-Adblock Killer mechanism - it is a detector of sites with similar anti-blockers. With the help of this anti-block killer uBlock finds such sites and forcibly cuts out advertising on them. So, here's another plus for using this interesting plugin. Try it.

Description: the main task of the extension is to search and suppress hidden spy scripts built into the code of website pages, and suspicious objects. Also knows how to block aggressive advertising

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Opera
  • Safari
  • Internet Explorer


Website: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger

Description: essentially similar to Ghostery, functionality and mission are generally the same as most similar blockers

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser

Description: software that is no exception among its own kind. Detects and suppresses surveillance, including from social networks, cuts advertising, reports on the work done, and does it well. This becomes especially clear in light of the fact that the author of the extensions is a former Google employee

Supported Browsers

  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Yandex browser
  • Opera

If Adblock doesn't help

If you already have an ad blocker, but pop-up windows with annoying VKontakte ads and other nonsense have not disappeared, I have bad news for you - most likely you have caught a virus or a Trojan. But don’t despair, every problem has its own solution.

Alternatively, you can start scanning your computer with 2 free utilities, from Kaspersky and Dr.Web:

And even if a regular antivirus did not help, special utilities for combating Spyware, Mailware and similar evil spirits will probably be able to help you. One of these programs can be downloaded here - https://www.malwarebytes.org/products/.
After scanning the system, all suspicious objects are sent to quarantine. If useful files are sent there by mistake, they can be restored.

Also where to look:

The above measures should be enough to eliminate problems with pop-up advertising windows.

How to use Adblock correctly

As you know, advertising is the engine of trade, and without the market we would be deprived of adequate prices for goods and services. Therefore, not all advertising is bad. In addition, advertising on a site is often the only source of profit on which the site lives and develops, and there are many of them on the Internet. I understand that some webmasters, in pursuit of profit, forget about the boundaries of what is reasonable, covering the site with advertising like a Christmas tree with garlands. Yes, there are doorway developers and those who do not shun the spread of viruses and Trojans, and here adblock will definitely help you. But there are also good, useful sites with unobtrusive advertising that you visit regularly, and which grow and develop thanks to the advertising placed on them. I’m not advocating that you stop using Adblock completely, but don’t forget to add useful resources to your ad blocker’s exclusion list, thereby thanking the authors for their efforts to create quality content.

Hello! Nowadays, the problem of viruses is not very acute - most users already generally understand what can be opened and what is highly discouraged... and modern Windows 10 is already less vulnerable to malware. And what do most users use a computer for? — surf the Internet and watch a movie. But with browsers, not everything is so simple, so the issue of blocking ads in the browser is more relevant than ever before.

If you are interested in the issue of ad blocking... or you have started to notice ads where there were never any (and even worse if advertising is already popping up in the browser), then I can tell you with confidence that you are not alone, and I will try to explain to you how to get rid of this illness.

How to block ads in your browser - simple steps to a clean Internet

  • Advertising, which was deliberately installed by the site owner, is the most common and easiest method of advertising to block.
  • Crashing, infuriating advertising on all sites... pop-up windows, spontaneous opening of the browser, various casinos and other nonsense - it is much more difficult to treat, but it’s possible (the problem is that your computer is showing you ads)

Initially, I want to show the basic setting of ad blocking in the browser (if this does not help, then you most likely have advertising modules or AdWare as they are called).

Recognizing AdWare is quite simple - it is a pop-up flashy advertisement in the browser on all pages (for example, on Yandex a Vulcan casino may be advertised or a browser with advertising may open spontaneously).

It’s clear that this is not normal... so I want to tell you about a method for blocking Yandex Browser (now I use it myself and can recommend it to you). In the instructions we will consider universal options that are suitable even for Internet Explorer or EDGE. Let's look at both paid and free extensions - don't switch, it will be interesting!

How to remove advertising in the Yandex browser

Do you know why I like the Yandex browser? — it contains a lot of useful things for a Russian-speaking user. In addition, there is a built-in ability to filter ads using the third-party service AdGuard (I previously used AdBlock Plus, but after switching from Firefox to Ya.Browser there is no point in installing a third-party extension). This extension can be turned on simply - open the menu and go to “Add-ons”... and turn on the “Adguard” extension.

By default, advertising from Yandex and Google will not be blocked (and even normal advertising there, sometimes even useful) - whether to disable it or not is up to you. On my own behalf, I would like to add that sometimes this is the only way for the author of a resource to earn money... after all, you need to pay for hosting, spend time writing posts like this one. Well, monetization is a great motivation to develop and fill your resource.

Well, that was a small lyrical digression - you can go to the extension settings and disable the “Allow search advertising and sites’ own promotions” item. This way you will completely disable all advertising on websites known to the extension.

ADGUARD is an excellent ad blocker for any browser

Since we are talking about ad blocking, it would be a crime not to talk about the wonderful AdGuard application. What if I told you that you can block ads not only in the browser, but also in various applications where they are often found? Skype, Viber, uTorrent - all these programs are popular and constantly annoying with ads, but AdGuard will automatically remove them all. You can download it from the official website...

AdGuard deserves a separate note, which I plan to write in the future, but for now a short overview of the capabilities

Installation is the same as everywhere else, nothing new was invented... however, I would advise not to install recommended products (well, if we want, we’ll install it ourselves, I don’t like this intrusiveness)

What can I tell you about the best application for blocking ads on your computer? Many people are looking for ways to disable advertising on Skype or torrent, delve into the code, edit something there - this is all real and tested in practice... but you can just install AdGuard and it will automatically block ads in all popular applications - isn’t it beautiful?!

The Parental Control feature seemed useful. I don’t know what filters this works on - but the joke is not in blocking porn sites and other bad resources... but in the inability to even find them in the search.

But of course, it is not without its drawbacks - the application is paid, but its price does not exceed the cost of pizza... support the developers, do not bother with torrents! And don’t forget - the AdGuard application is used to block ads; it will not help against viruses. You can use a good antivirus for free against all evil spirits.

How to remove ads in Google Chrome browser and other browsers

Now let's move on to the easiest way to get rid of ads in the browser - I used this extension until I switched to Yandex Browser with the AdGuard extension. Suitable for any browser (or almost, all known to me are supported) - just go to the official website of the extension...

I’ll tell you using Google Chrome as an example (but everything is similar for any other - be it Firefox or Opera) - find the largest button “Install for YOUR_BROWSER”. Agree with the installation of the extension and restart your web browser - the lion's share of advertising on sites will disappear.

How to remove ads in the browser? — We choose the best

If you are constantly seeing ads pop up in your browser, and all the methods described above have not corrected the situation, then you most likely have a malicious program on your computer, a browser extension, or the system settings have been changed. The whole problem with this infection is that antiviruses don’t see them, in fact it doesn’t harm the computer... but it infuriates the user. Let's start with disassembling pop-up advertising in the browser.

How to remove pop-up ads automatically

With the spread of this infection, it is not surprising that entire companies gradually began to appear producing applications to combat this advertising ransomware. Thanks to them, most advertising inserts are treated automatically and require virtually no user intervention - I highly recommend you use them.

AdwCleaner - an easy way to remove ads from your computer

In order not to bother you too much and not to bother you with places in the Windows system that are unclear to the average user, I suggest initially trying to remove pop-up ads in the browser automatically. There are many software products for removing AdWare, but my experience tells me to stick with AdwCleaner - in my opinion, the best solution to remove all known extensions from any browser.

Download only from !OFFICIAL site and nowhere else! After launching the application, click “Scan” and wait for the end of the search for harmful programs... check that the results do not contain anything unnecessary and click clean - check after rebooting.

Please note that AdvCleaner also considers all programs from Mail.RU to be malicious. If you use any Mail Agent, do not forget to remove it from the purge list.

HitmanPro is a good way to remove pop-up ads in your browser

A small utility from Malwarebytes, Hitman Pro will find most malware on your computer and can remove them. The application is paid, but with a test period - it will be more useful than ever for us for a one-time cleaning. As usual, download from the official website of the program.

To avoid installing the program on your computer, use the “I’m going to scan the system only once” option. In this case, we will immediately start scanning the operating system for unwanted programs.

As you can see, malware was found in our system (in our example it is a system activator, but it will do for the example) - just click “Next” to clear the found threats.

Remember I wrote that the application is paid? - so, to clean the system, you can activate a free license... click the appropriate button and enter your email to issue you a temporary license.

After cleaning, you should restart your computer and check whether our problem with pop-up advertising inserts has been resolved or not.

Removed pop-up ads in the browser - the Internet does not work

An unpleasant situation happens - you removed pop-ups and ads in your browser and now the Internet does not work. The browser reports that it is unable to connect to the proxy server. The problem is quite common, but has an elementary solution.

Most likely, the left DNS server was used, and since we removed the malicious application - using DNS data turned out to be impossible and useless - you just need to reset the settings to standard

To solve the problem with the error “Cannot connect to the proxy server,” we need to go to the “Control Panel,” open the “Network and Internet” section and in the “Browser Options” category, select “Manage browser settings.”

Make sure that the “Use a proxy server for local connections” checkbox is unchecked and that the “Automatic detection of parameters” option is active.

If the steps taken did not give the desired result, write in the comments, we’ll try to figure out the problem together.

How to remove pop-up ads in your browser manually

If all the methods described above to get rid of viral advertising in the browser did not help, then extreme measures remain - let’s try to fix the situation manually.

Task Scheduler - if ads pop up in the browser

The trend of 2017 is not a new frameless iPhone, but a problem of users who periodically have ads popping up in their browser... and not a single program sees them. I first encountered this species at the end of 2016 (and to be honest, for a very long time I could not understand what the problem was). The situation is as follows: an advertising site periodically opened, even if the browser was closed.

As it turned out, the malware used a task scheduler and simply periodically launched a task - launch the browser at the required time interval and open the site it needed in it (! brilliant).

To improve the health of our system, let’s open the task scheduler and delete it from there...

Open the Start menu and type “Task Scheduler” - find it in the search list and open it. Alternatively, press WIN + R on your keyboard and type taskschd.msc

In one of the tasks, you will probably see the path to the browser with a postscript in the form of a site that constantly opens for you - you should delete it (right-click on the task - delete). There are situations when different sites open all the time - in this case, one site opens, and then redirects to one of many (you just don’t have time to notice it) - just delete dubious tasks with additions to the path to the browser file.

What to do if advertising appears in the browser? — Disable extensions

You can clear your browser of ads and pop-ups simply by disabling the bad extension. Not long ago I installed a browser add-on that allowed me to watch torrents online... everything was great until I noticed that advertising appeared where there had never been one. Unfortunately, I did not notice this right away and therefore the solitaire did not work out right away - it helped that the extension was not installed in another browser and there were no left-handed advertisements there.

I just disabled the browser add-on and the ads disappeared. Try going to the list of extensions:

  • For Yandex Browser this is Settings > Add-ons (in the same place where you enabled AdGuard)
  • For Google Chrome - Settings > More tools > Extensions

Disable all extensions one by one until the ads stop appearing. This way you will identify a malicious extension - you need to remove it and forget about it forever.

Unfortunately, this point is often ignored, but it is one of the most common. You can’t trust anyone... there are often cases in which the extension that everyone is familiar with starts telling us all sorts of nasty things. We trust him, why do we need to turn him off and check him?! We will look in the place where it is not there... but until the last minute we will not try to simply turn it off for a minute and check.

The Hosts file is the reason for advertising in the browser

Many Adware use the Windows system hosts file to display advertisements. Currently, it is practically not used by advertising malware - usually left-handed Google addresses are registered there or social networks are replaced.

You can correct the hosts file using notepad (which, by the way, must be opened as an administrator, otherwise you will not be able to save changes in it). It is necessary to delete all lines that are under the lines starting with a hash.

Why do ads pop up in the browser? — Editing shortcuts

If, after completing all the steps described above, advertising starts only when you launch the browser itself, then it’s time to pay attention to program shortcuts. In the shortcut properties, delete everything that is outside the quotes (usually the address of the annoying site)... and create new shortcuts for the browser.

This method is incredibly simple, but many people overlook it. In my practice, this option of pop-up advertising occurs very often, so do not underestimate it.

Conclusions about pop-up advertising in the browser and blocking it

Constantly popping up ads in your browser can be very annoying, so be careful when installing different applications and try to use official download sites to minimize the possibility of picking up something unusual, but extremely unpleasant.

I hope this small instruction was useful to you (and it is really small - I described only a small part of the problem areas, but they are the most common) and you were able to defeat advertising in the browser. If something doesn’t work out, write in the comments, we’ll figure it out together!

The demand for plugins that “cut” annoying online advertising is steadily growing. According to a recent report from Adobe and PageFair, custom browser extensions are now used by over 200 million people worldwide, up 41% from 2014. Read about the five best browser add-ons that will help hide annoying banners, pop-ups and other annoying ads in the Vestey.Hi-tech collection.

Not all advertising is bad. “Internet bugs” that collect information about the user’s activity without his knowledge, flashing and pop-up windows that interfere with or distract from reading, as well as banners with “bad” code that embed cookies into the browser to track movements deserve unambiguous blocking. visitors from site to site. However, sometimes displaying advertising is the only way to earn money as an independent resource. So, if the ads are harmless and do not bother you, it would be a good idea to support the authors of your favorite sites and add them to the white list.

Before installing a blocker, we recommend enabling the Do Not Track (DNT) feature in your browser. This will let the site know that you do not want to be tracked by behavioral cookies that collect information about pages visited, online purchases, search engine queries, etc. Enabling this setting, however, does not mean that sites will immediately stop bothering you with “targeted” advertising. For now, DNT is advisory in nature. It only informs sites that users want to stop tracking them, but does not provide any guarantees that advertisers will comply with this request.

Chrome: open "Settings" → on the screen that opens, follow the link "Show additional settings" (below) → in the "Personal data" section, check the box next to "Send tracking denial with outgoing traffic."

Firefox: Go to “Settings” → select the “Privacy” tab and check the radio button next to “Tell sites that I don’t want to be tracked.”

Internet Explorer: "Settings" → "Security" → "Send Do Not Track requests" → click on the "Enable" button.

Opera: "Settings" → "Privacy and Security" section → check "Send a Do Not Track request with data."

Safari: "Settings" → go to the "Privacy" tab → and check the box next to "Prevent websites from tracking me."

AdBlock Plus

ABP is the most popular and ubiquitous AD blocker, with versions for both desktop and mobile devices. According to statistics from the startup Eyeo, based in Cologne (Germany), their product is regularly used by over 60 million people around the world. ABP can block anything from banners and pop-ups, hidden cookies and other tracking tools, suspicious domains, social media buttons and widgets, and video ads on YouTube or Facebook.

It is also possible to create your own lists of filters and allowed domains. ABP is available as an extension in all popular browsers: Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Maxthon, also in Yandex.Browser and on Android devices.

Once installed, ABP will ask what content other than ads should be blocked. Optionally, the extension can deny access to potentially malicious domains, cut out spying cookies and social media buttons that can also monitor user behavior.

ABP has one feature - the so-called “acceptable” or “acceptable advertising”. Developers do not hide the fact that they receive payment from large partners (including Google, Amazon, eHow, Yandex and others) for being included in the white list. Additionally, to support independent creators, ABP can run ads on smaller sites and blogs for free. However, filters are allowed to bypass “no more than 10% of companies,” and users always have the option to completely limit any advertising. This can be done by unchecking the box next to "Allow some unobtrusive advertising" in the add-on settings.

Ghostery

The Ghostery plugin specializes in getting rid of Internet bugs rather than advertising. To date, the extension (the developers themselves call it a “privacy tool”) is aware of the existence of over 2 thousand trackers that can secretly collect information about user activity.

Disconnect

Disconnect's audience is relatively small (about a million users), and the add-on itself does not have a very beautiful interface, but it copes with its tasks. It also has a number of unique functions. For example, Disconnect clearly shows in the form of an interactive map which sites receive notifications that you have visited a partner resource.

In addition, the plugin displays how much Internet traffic has been saved and how much web page loading has increased. Overall, Disconnect is the type of program that you can simply “turn on and forget.” If some elements stop working (YouTube videos, Flickr photos), or the site is not displayed correctly, you can always click on the icon with the letter D and unblock individual scripts.

Disconnect does not have such flexible settings as Ghostery or uBlock. For example, you cannot see the blacklist of all bugs - it is created by the company itself. The extension is available in Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera.

I don't know about you, but I recently started using Yandex browser. I just couldn’t get around to sitting and testing it. I’m generally pleased with the results, it’s quite fast and there are no problems in using it. I read the documentation, and generally the reviews on the forums, and largely agree that it is a copy of Google Chrome. But nevertheless, Yandex took such a step, and since people use it, the problem of advertising remains relevant as always.

Okay, I won’t drag it out, you probably already understand from the title that today we will talk about

First, let's highlight ways that can help us:

  1. Blocking and protection against phishing and malware.
  2. Using the Adblock add-on.
  3. Using the Adguard add-on to block pop-ups, banners and various annoying elements.

Proceeding to watch the video, which shows the use of these methods:

First you need to go to the browser itself. After that, in the upper right corner we find the “Setting up Yandex browser” button. Click on it and select “Settings” from the drop-down list.


After you have entered the settings, look for the personal data protection item and check the “Enable protection against phishing and malware” checkbox. It happens that this checkbox is checked by default, which is good.


In order to prevent your computer from slowing down, you now need to block flash banners and video advertising. Go to the settings, as already described above, and find the add-ons tab. In the add-ons, look for a name such as “Blocking Flash banners and videos” and click enable.


Now the browser is working at full capacity and can completely block. In some cases, this method is enough. We used the first possible method of protecting against advertising. Let's move on to the next one.

Using the Adblock add-on

If you want to use this add-on, then I recommend disabling the “Blocking Flash Banners and Videos” add-on, which was described above.

To fully familiarize yourself with Adblock and how to install it on the Yandex browser, go to the article:. Specifically, so that there would not be a lot of writing here, I highlighted the full article for all browsers.

Using the Adguard add-on to block pop-ups, banners and various annoying elements

Here we come to the third way to remove advertising in Yandex browser. You can find a lot of interesting things on the Internet about this addition. You can download either an add-on or install the entire program. Using this method, namely how, I wrote a whole voluminous article. Which I recommend viewing and getting acquainted with

Since the Internet has firmly entered our lives, advertising has also entered the Internet. Advertising is the engine of sales and trade, so there is a lot of it and it is varied. Since there are a lot of annoying, viral advertisements, we have to look for ways to combat them. And today we looked at such methods and figured it out how to remove advertising in Yandex browser.
