- Dr. Web Curetlt. An application from Russian programmers on the market since 2007. In case of any questions, the Russian support service will answer you around the clock. The utility copes with threats perfectly, but is not a full-fledged antivirus.
All of the above programs for a permanent subscription will require money, only Dr. Web is absolutely free. But in comparison with the functionality of other utilities, it is far from an outsider. Now you know how to remove ads in the Yandex.Browser in the first way.
"Yandex browser". Second way
Popular browsers have their own algorithms for protecting against annoying ads. And to turn them on, you have to delve into the application settings. But we did everything for you, it remains only to follow the following algorithm:
- Go to "Settings" (located in the upper right corner, in the form of three vertical lines).
- Select "Show advanced settings" and go to "Protection of personal data."
- Click on "Block pop-ups on all sites."
Itâs very easy to remove ads from Yandex.Browser, itâs the most portable and flexible Internet browser. It has many different functions, and it is made by a Russian company. So, in which case, you can easily contact the companyâs service.
Add-ons for browsers
Using special utilities, you can get rid of annoying ads. True, some sites do not allow holders of such software on their site. And to go there, you need to either turn off the utilities, or remove them.
Remember that most sites live on advertising. And without it, their existence is impossible. But if you decide, then now we will learn how to remove ads forever. Below are the top 3 best utilities that hide banner ads.
First place. Adblock plus
It does not require a purchase, it is distributed absolutely free in any region of the world. Compatible with key operating systems like Windows, Linux and MacOS. And also suitable for all popular browsers.
The first place is due to the large number of ad blocker downloads. He copes with native, banner and other advertising. If necessary, AdBlock Plus is easily customizable. For example, you can configure advertising filters. The utility has a small antivirus in its kit, which will prevent visits to dangerous sites.
Some ads are not blocked, this is done to support sites. And the most amazing thing is that AdBlock even reacts to ads in video, now there will be no annoying previews on YouTube. It also protects against monitoring you and ensures the safety of data.
Adblock Addition. Element Hiding Helper
The program is free and acts as an extension to AdBlock. And so it is compatible with most browsers and operating systems. Russian language is supported. If AdBlock didnât completely remove advertising content, then the Heading Helper utility can remove any part of the page.
For example, with the help of AdBlock you have eliminated most of the ads, but some links or buttons remain. Because the program considered them to be acceptable indicators. And if you need a complete deliverance from advertising, then the âHeading Helperâ comes into play.
To learn how to remove ads, follow these steps:
- Click on the âAdblockâ icon, it is located in the upper right corner of the browser.
- Then click on the item âSelect item to hideâ. It is also called by the hot key combination Ctrl + Shift + F3.
- Hover over the part of the page you want to hide with the mouse cursor.
- This area is highlighted with a red frame, click on it and click "Add Filter".
Congratulations! You got rid of all kinds of possible advertising. Now let's move on to other applications.
Second place. uBlock Origin
This time there is no support for the Russian language. UBlock works great in all popular browsers and on most operating systems. The functionality is similar to AdBlock Plus.
However, uBlock is much more energy efficient. It does not slow down the page loading much, due to less traffic consumption. Combines the functionality of two previous programs, allowing you to hide absolutely all advertising content.
Some blockers entered into a "criminal" conspiracy with advertisers. And their native videos and banners are not blocked, but the ability to disable them remains. To do this, you will have to delve into the settings and uncheck the corresponding item.
It is because of the hidden advertising and the lack of Russian localization that the uBlock program has taken an honorable second place.
Third place. Ghostery
Perhaps the most beautiful ad blocker supported by Yandex.Browser, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and most of the popular operating systems.
The functionality of the "cast" is very wide - it not only saves from intrusive advertising, but also prohibits the collection of data about you. Therefore, it is not recommended to set it as the main blocker.
In addition, it significantly speeds up page loading and has a nice interface. And when registering in the system, a dialog box will appear in front of you, in which you need to select the application settings.
