Start clean and fast

See only what you came for. Opera's free Ad Blocker is built in with nothing to download or set up, so you can switch to faster, cleaner browsing in one click.

Focus on your vision

When you have an idea, you don't want ads and trackers distracting you. Opera's Ad Blocker removes them all, so your eyes stay set on what's ahead.

Watch videos ad-free

Video ads can interrupt your learning or recharging process. Opera’s native Ad Blocker filters them out so you can focus and relax while watching.

Clear the way

When you have something meaningful to build, you need a clean path from the start.

Opera’s native Ad Blocker makes content-rich pages load up to 90% faster keeping you moving towards your goals.

And unlike third-party extensions like Adblock, uBlock, and AdGuard, Opera’s free Ad Blocker is built in with no extensions needed and zero setup.

Keep your focus

When research takes you across multiple pages, a clean ad-free view helps keep you locked in.

With Opera Ad Blocker’s flexible settings, you can choose to remain completely invisible to the web by removing all ads and trackers, or whitelist certain websites and content creators you want to support.

Watch uninterrupted

When you’re following a tutorial, collecting video references for your project, or watching your favorite director’s new film, you don’t want video ads to interrupt you.

Opera Ad Blocker’s uBlock-optimized filtering technology removes video ads before they load, so you never hear even the first note of that annoying jingle.

Protect your privacy

When balancing your bills, working on an essay, or just planning an adventure, you don’t want trackers threatening your privacy.

On both mobile and desktop, Opera’s Ad Blocker stops online trackers so you can stay focused without being followed around by ads based on what you just searched.

How to use Opera’s Ad Blocker

Click the shield icon next to the address bar, then toggle on Block ads. On mobile, turn it on in Settings.

Once enabled, you can click the shield icon any time to see how many ads and which trackers have been blocked on the sites you visit.
