Installing extensions

Using the built-in capabilities of browsers is often not enough to effectively block all pop-up windows. For these purposes, it is recommended to install a special application that blocks not only banners, but also other advertising. One of the best programs that gets the job done is Adblock Plus.

To install this extension for your browser, you need to click here https://adblockplus.org/ru/, and on the extension page click on the “Install for...” button (instead of the ellipsis there will be the name of your browser). It’s nice that the extension works not only on the most popular browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Yandex.Browser (Yandex.Browser will be identified as Chrome, since it is almost a complete copy of it, and all applications available for Google Chrome, available for Yandex.Browser respectively)), but also for mobile devices on Android. However, you can choose a security application according to your taste. There are also extensions https://adblockplus.org/ru/ Adblock, Adguard and others, but the principle of their operation is not very different from each other.
