Privacy Policy — AdBlock Pro

Effective date: August 8, 2026

Summary

AdBlock Pro is a content-blocking browser extension. It does not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data, browsing history, or usage analytics. All blocking decisions are made locally, on your device, using filter rules that are bundled inside the extension package. The extension does not operate any backend server and does not communicate with any remote server on your behalf.

What data the extension processes

The extension stores the following data locally on your device, using the browser's built-in chrome.storage.local API. This data never leaves your device and is never sent to us or to any third party:

DataPurposeWhere it is stored
On/off state of the extension Remember whether blocking is enabled Local device storage only
List of whitelisted site domains Remember sites where you chose to disable blocking Local device storage only
Per-tab count of blocked requests Show the "blocked on this page" counter in the popup Local, in-memory / local device storage; cleared when a tab closes

None of this data identifies you personally, and none of it is ever transmitted anywhere. Uninstalling the extension removes this data from your device.

What the extension does not do

How blocking works (and why some permissions are needed)

The extension blocks ads and trackers using Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API with a static, pre-bundled set of filter rules derived from public filter lists (such as EasyList and EasyPrivacy). These rules are compiled into the extension package before publication — your browser never downloads or fetches filter rules from the internet at runtime.

PermissionWhy it is needed
declarativeNetRequest / declarativeNetRequestFeedback Apply the bundled blocking rules to network requests, and show a local count of blocked requests in the toolbar badge.
host_permissions: <all_urls> Blocking rules and cosmetic (element-hiding) filtering need to be able to apply on any site you visit — this is standard for content-blocking extensions.
scripting / content script Hide ad elements on the page using CSS selectors bundled with the extension (cosmetic filtering). No page content is read, collected, or sent anywhere.
storage Save your on/off preference and site whitelist locally, as described above.
tabs Detect the current tab's site so the popup can show/toggle blocking for that specific site.

Third-party filter lists

The blocking rules bundled with the extension are compiled offline by the developer from publicly available filter lists (e.g. EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and similar community-maintained lists). Downloading and compiling those lists happens on the developer's machine as part of preparing a release — it is not something your browser does, and it does not involve any of your data.

Children's privacy

The extension does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information at all.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same location with a revised effective date. Continued use of the extension after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
