Add or improve filters

Adblock Plus is only as good as its filters. Share your filters, suggest new ones or help communities of volunteer contributors to draft and update filter lists. These filter lists need to be constantly maintained to block menaces like new tracking systems, malware threats and intrusive ads. Click here for a list of requirements.

If you come across a website on which an ad isn't blocked, or a filter list causes an issue, please report it.

eyeo GmbH, the company behind Adblock Plus, has no right to, or control over, any filter list content other than the ABP Anti-Circumvention Filter List and Acceptable Ads.

Evaluate acceptable ads

Eyeo is the originator behind the Acceptable Ads initiative, which is aimed at supporting websites that choose to use nonintrusive ads. Criteria defining nonintrusive, and therefore acceptable ads, has been established based on strict guidelines.

We encourage users to join the ongoing discussion to determine which ads qualify as acceptable ads. Visit the forum to share your thoughts.
