Hi! That's a great question, and you're absolutely right to be cautious about the access you grant to software you install. In our case, AdBlock needs to be able to read the data on every web page you visit so that it can see what part of it is an ad it's going to need to block if possible or hide if not. Does that mean we store or use your personally identifiable information? Absolutely not. We're pretty big on privacy around here.

For more information about what kinds of information we can see and what we do with it, please see:

I also encourage you to read our privacy policy, which goes into more detail:

I hope this helps to reassure you! If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line at help@getadblock.com. :)

Hi! If you're still seeing ads after installing AdBlock, here are some things to check: https://help.getadblock.com/solution/articles/6000061202-seeing-unblocked-ads-start-here-

If those suggestions don't help, please open a ticket at help.getadblock.com. Include the debug info from the SUPPORT tab in AdBlock's options, a link to a page where you're seeing ads, and a screenshot of the ads (please capture the entire screen). Thanks!

¡Hola! Gracias por tu comentario. AdBlock cuenta con el respaldo de donaciones de usuarios satisfechos. No establecemos el precio; usted determina cuánto vale AdBlock para usted. Aunque fomentamos el pago (después de todo, nos ayuda a mantener las luces encendidas), si no quiere pagar nada, ¡está bien! Solo cierra la página sin pagar. :)

Hello! Thanks for your comment. AdBlock is supported by donations from happy users. We don't set the price; you determine how much AdBlock is worth to you. Although we encourage payment (after all, it helps us keep the lights on), if you do not want to pay anything, that's fine! Just close the page without paying. :)

Hola RMG-GMR. Gracias por sus comentarios. Como una extensión de navegador, la capacidad de AdBlock de afectar cualquier cosa que esté fuera del navegador es prácticamente inexistente. Me gustaría saber más sobre los problemas que estabas viendo en esas computadoras portátiles. ¿Le importaría enviar un correo electrónico a help@getadblock.com? ¡Muchas gracias!

Hi RMG-GMR. Thanks for your feedback. As a browser extension, AdBlock's ability to affect anything outside of the browser is close to non-existent. I would like to know more about the problems you were seeing on those laptops. Would you mind sending an email to help@getadblock.com? Thanks very much!

Hi, Anonymous, thanks for your feedback! AdBlock is pretty much plug-and-play. If blocking ads feels complicated, it probably means you're not doing it right. :D

I'd be happy to help you figure out what's not working. Would you mind opening a ticket at help.getadblock.com? Thanks!
