Blockium Ad Blocker: YouTube, Popups, Privacy by Blockium apps

Free ad blocker for every site and YouTube. Stops popups, trackers and cookie banners. No account, no data collection.

Blockium is a free Chrome ad blocker that blocks ads, trackers and unwanted popups, with native video-ad helpers for YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and SonyLIV. Browse with fewer distractions, optional cookie-banner dismissal and privacy controls—without creating an account.

WHAT YOU GET
• Ad and tracker blocking using Chrome’s built-in filtering engine, Manifest V3.
• YouTube and streaming helpers that skip, mute or fast-forward detected video ads on supported platforms.
• Popup and pop-under blocking, with a notice that lets you allow an intended popup.
• Optional automatic dismissal of supported cookie consent banners.
• Additional fingerprinting protections and blocking rules for known malware, phishing and cryptomining domains.
• Controls for newsletter overlays and unwanted floating video players.
• An Element Zapper: select an unwanted element and save a hiding rule for that site.
• A local privacy dashboard with blocking counts, recent activity and domain rankings.
• Ten languages and seven themes.

HONEST NUMBERS
Blockium separates different types of blocking activity so you can understand what was detected and blocked. Time and bandwidth savings are heuristic estimates and are labelled accordingly.

WHEN A PAGE BREAKS
Open the popup and try “Allow once” for temporary 1-tab access, or “Pause Site” for a saved site exception. You can also report a broken page directly from the popup.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No account, sign-in, or telemetry servers.
• No collection, selling, or uploading of your browsing activity.
• Settings and blocking statistics stay strictly inside Chrome’s local extension storage.
• Public filter lists are downloaded periodically to keep protection updated.
• Blockium never replaces blocked ads with its own.

WHY CHROME SAYS "READ YOUR BROWSING HISTORY"
That install prompt is Chrome's standard phrasing for two technical permissions Blockium requires:
• "tabs": to identify the current site in the popup and reload it when you change site settings.
• "declarativeNetRequestFeedback": to count matched rules so the dashboard shows real block numbers.
Blockium never reads, stores, or transmits your browsing history.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Streaming services and websites change frequently, which can occasionally affect skipping or element rules. If a page stops working correctly, use the site controls and send us a report.
