Omit – Free Ad Blocker: Block YouTube Ads & Pop-ups

Description

Free ad blocker for Chrome. Block ads, YouTube ads, pop-ups & trackers. Fast, private, silent — no account, no telemetry. Omit is a fast, private, silent ad blocker for Chrome. It blocks ads, trackers, and on-page annoyances using the same battle-tested filter engine that powers AdGuard — wrapped in a minimal dark-mode interface that stays out of your way. WHY OMIT Most ad blockers either feel like spreadsheets stuffed into a browser, or they slow your machine down with bloated rule processing. Omit picks a third path: a clean, glanceable popup with one big shield toggle, two stat counters, and the controls you actually use. No clutter, no upsells, no telemetry. KEY FEATURES - Block ads, banners, and pop-ups across the entire web, including YouTube, news sites, and shopping pages - Block trackers and analytics scripts that follow you between sites - Hide cookie consent banners and GDPR notices with a single toggle - WebRTC IP-leak protection so your real IP stays private even on a VPN - Per-site pause: trust a site, leave the rest blocked - Element picker: hide any leftover element on a page with one click - Custom rules: power users can write their own AdGuard-syntax filters - Stats dashboard: see what was blocked over the last 14 days, and lifetime totals - Stealth mode: strip tracking parameters from URLs and hide your referrer - Twelve curated filter lists organized by purpose: core, privacy, annoyances, regional HOW IT WORKS Omit uses Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API and the open-source AdGuard tswebextension engine to filter network requests before they hit the page. Filter lists are bundled as static rulesets at install time, so there is no remote rule fetching while you browse. Cosmetic rules (the things that hide leftover layout boxes) are applied via a content script that runs at document_start, which is why ad slots collapse instead of flashing in. PRIVACY POSTURE Omit does not have a server. It collects no telemetry, no analytics, no crash reports, and no usage data. Every preference and counter is stored in your browser via chrome.storage.local. Block counts are tallied locally and never leave your device. You can read the full data declaration at the bottom of this file. WHO IT IS FOR - People tired of cookie banners on every page - YouTube viewers who want pre-roll and overlay ads gone - Shoppers who do not want their carts followed across the web - Privacy-conscious users who want a tool they can read end-to-end (it is GPL-3.0 open source) - Anyone who prefers a calm, dark, minimal interface over a settings-heavy power-user tool
