title: "Ad Blocking"
|
|
description: "BrowserOS supports full ad blocking with uBlock Origin"
|
|

|
|
|
|
BrowserOS supports full ad blocking through [uBlock Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/), the most effective open-source ad blocker available.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
Chrome has been [phasing out support](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/migrate/mv2-deprecation-timeline) for Manifest V2 extensions, which uBlock Origin relies on for its full blocking capabilities. We re-enabled Manifest V2 support in BrowserOS so uBlock Origin can run at full power.
|
|
|
|
Install it from the Chrome Web Store: [uBlock Origin](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm)
|
|
|
|
## BrowserOS vs Chrome
|
|
|
|
We ran both browsers through [adblock.turtlecute.org](https://adblock.turtlecute.org/), a test that measures how effectively a browser blocks ads and tracking scripts.

|
|
|
|
Out of 133 ad-related requests:
|
|
- **BrowserOS** blocked 91 (68%)
|
|
- **Chrome** blocked 9 (7%)
|
|
|
|
That's roughly **10x more protection** with zero configuration.
|
|
|
|
## What This Means
|
|
|
|
Fewer ads means faster page loads, less bandwidth usage, and significantly reduced tracking. BrowserOS handles this natively so you can focus on browsing.
