AdsKicker is on
It works by itself. Here's what it does, and what it can't do.
Blocks ads and trackers
Requests to known ad and tracking domains are dropped before they load, and leftover ad slots are hidden. The number on the toolbar icon counts what was blocked on the current page.
Blurs suspected adult images
Images whose address, description, or link points at adult content are blurred. Click one to show it or report it as safe.
Asks before adult links
Before you follow a link to a known adult site, AdsKicker asks whether you're 18 or older. It's a reminder, not age verification.
Make it yours
- Pin it from the puzzle-piece menu in the toolbar, so you can see what it's doing.
- Pause a site from the toolbar button, for good or for an hour, or press . The icon turns grey where AdsKicker is off.
- Hide anything that slips through: right-click it and choose Hide this element.
- Fix mistakes by right-clicking an image: Blur this image, or Report this image as safe.
- Add your own blocked domains, adult sites, and words in the settings.
Good to know
Detection matches words and domains; AdsKicker doesn't look at the pixels of images. It misses explicit images on unlisted sites and sometimes blurs harmless ones. Report those as safe.
AdsKicker makes no network requests of its own and collects nothing. Your settings and lists stay in your browser, and sync through your Chrome profile when Chrome sync is on.
