Starting with the version 14.2, Yandex.Browser introduced catalogue of recommended Extensions. This catalogue provides on default the free Adguard ad blocking extension. Currently this is the one and only recommended adblock extension for Yandex.Browser, which can remove ads, block pop-ups and control your safety in the Internet.
The main features of the Adguard extension are adblocker, antiphishing and antitracking. With such a wide range of possibilities, your extension will block all the advertising in search engines, as well as in webpages. For example, video ads blocking on Youtube or removing the ads in social networks.
Ad Blocking
Adguard fully removes annoying banners, blocks pop-ups and intrusive ads. You can block separate elements through the extension menu by clicking on “Block ad on this website”. Internet without ads will work faster. Moreover Adguard uses less memory and CPU – much fewer than other adblock browser extensions. This will increase work efficiency in browser.
