How to disable advertising in Yandex.Browser? What should I do if ads appear in the browser?

It would seem that if we switched from watching TV to more informed and selective information, namely via the Internet, we finally got rid of unnecessary and obtrusive advertising. It not only dispels attention, distracting from the main, but frankly irritating. However, to our deep regret, in the World Wide Web this engine of trade has found a place, and even what! It is worth to go to absolutely any site - and in most cases, immediately pops up advertising: in the browser "Yandex" and FireFox, Chrome and Interet Explorer - no matter what software you use - from it not to hide. Is there no way to rid yourself of unnecessary obsessive information? Why, there are ways to solve the problem, and there are several. Let's look at the basic methods of how to disable advertising in Yandex.Browser.

Dispose of advertising by the browser itself

Start to offer directly from the settings of the browser itself. To implement this method, all you need is access to the Internet. Open the browser and follow the following instructions:

1. In the upper right corner, find the icon named "Tools" (or use the Alt + X keyboard shortcut) and select "Browser Properties" from the list that appears.
2. We need the "Advanced" tab. Here in the settings window you can adjust various Internet settings - enable and disable certain actions.
3. In this case, we need to disable advertising in "Yandex" (the browser that we use). Find the "Multimedia" section and remove the icons from the following items:

• Play animation on web pages;
• Play sounds on web pages (if necessary);
• Show images;
• Show picture frames;
• Allow alternative codecs for multimedia elements.

After removing the above checkboxes, click the "Apply" button. Now you will not be distracted by pop-ups, constantly flashing advertising banners, as well as extraneous sounds or videos. In addition, the pages of web sites will load faster, since all excess content is disabled.

What's wrong with the built-in features of the browser?

This method, despite its simplicity and convenience, has a very significant (and for many critical) drawback. Having disabled advertising in this way, you will not be able to see the images you need, and also watch the video in Yandex.Browser. Therefore, it should be used only in extreme cases and only "true minimalists".

Using plugins to combat advertising in the "Yandex.Browser"

If the first method we examined was too categorical for you, do not despair. The second option of how to disable advertising in Yandex.Browser is more appropriate. We are talking about special plug-ins. There are several of their varieties, but we will focus on the most commonly used ones.

The first option is to install the Flash Block plug-in

Let's start with the add-on called Flash Block. How does it work? Very simple. From you only need to install this application on your computer and run it into work, the rest of the plug-in will do it yourself. When the browser starts, it will be able to disable advertising in "Yandex" completely, blocking all flash content on the pages of the download sites. Using the program Flash Block, you fence yourself off from all sorts of commercials, constantly pop-up windows and flashing banners.

Notes on the operation of the extension

Disadvantage in this case, too, is: most likely, you will not be available to various browser games - they just stop working. You can solve this problem: after installing the plug-in you need to make some settings. For certain sites, you can allow the download of a flash, if you really need it. So you get rid of unnecessary advertising content, but keep the ability to view interesting videos / images and run games.

The second option is a "veteran" among Adblock Plus plug-ins

It's time to move on to one of the most popular and really useful add-ons - the Adblock Plus plug-in. This software was developed quite a long time ago, in 2002, when RuNet was born, but its actuality (in the improved version, of course) does not lose to this day. Add-on Adblock Plus allows you to get rid of all the advertising that can overtake us on the World Wide Web: not only banners, videos and pop-ups, but also contextual advertising, as well as other kinds of it.

Features of the plug-in

So, how to disable advertising in Yandex.Browser with this application? First of all, you need to install it on your computer. You can download it on the official website, where you will need to select the extension for your browser - in our case this is "Yandex". It should be noted that the plug-in requires special filters - today they are, as a rule, already built into the software by default. This is the standard Easy List filter, it is usually enough to use it only. If necessary, you can download additional filters that contain a number of queries to display advertising content.

After Adblock Plus is installed, you must select a filter, which we will use to block advertising in the "Yandex.Browser". With the help of existing settings, you can disable only those ads that seem unnecessary and unnecessarily intrusive to you, while leaving useful blocks. If you notice a banner or image that interferes with viewing a web page, right-click on it and select the "Lock Image" action. Now at the place where the ad unit previously located, there will be an empty space. The plugin works very well - in most cases you will not even guess that some place on the web page used to have advertising content.

Features and Benefits of Adblock Plus Add-in

The Adblock Plus extension allows you to create your own lists of sites by adding them to a black or white sheet at your discretion. At the moment of blocking of the advertising message in the address bar of the browser you will see an appropriate icon with which you can prevent the display of blocked content permanently or allow it on this site. Of course, using this add-on will make the work on the Internet faster and more enjoyable than when the browser pops up ads and distracts attention from the useful content of the web page.

A modern product to combat advertising - Adguard

I would like to talk about one more modern program to block advertising in Yandex. It is universal and very convenient if you simultaneously use several different browsers (FireFox, Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer). It is called the expansion of Adguard - it helps to easily and effectively deal with all types of advertising, focusing on the most common types in the Internet. It's not just banners, video and text blocks, but also rich media, and many others - the newest and most sophisticated of its types.

Features of the Adguard expansion

The application works qualitatively, all operations are performed in the background, which means that they do not distract the user from his Internet activity. There is also a special browser module that allows you to configure the lock manually (directly at the time of using the browser). The built-in filter offers you to adjust the parameters of the Adguard plug-in yourself. Another undoubted advantage, which is important for all owners of 3G-modem, is a significant saving of traffic. The application interface is multilanguage, including support for the Russian version of the program. In general, Adguard is a worthy alternative to the beloved and popular Adblock.

Which of the proposed methods of disabling advertising to choose?

Thus, we have considered several effective and fairly simple ways of how to rid yourself of obsessive advertising on the Internet and make web browsing more enjoyable and faster. The easiest way in the event that the advertising in Yandex.Browser constantly pops up is the adjustment of internal settings. However, it is less convenient for the main category of users and not so flexible as all the others (since it also deprives the ability to view useful content together with advertising). The most effective and applicable in modern realities for most users is the method of installing a special plug-in. Here the choice depends on personal preferences. Our advice is to take advantage of the proven Adblock Plus extension for many years or to test a new Adgard plug-in that is not bad at all. The advantages of these extensions are obvious: the ability to select content for display, including useful ad units, and manual blocking of obtrusive advertising.

Why advertising is not always evil, or when advertising content should not be blocked

Before I finish the article, I would like to add a few more words about the situation when when the browser opens an advertisement, so annoying, but firmly embedded in our life. Everyone has a number of sites, to which he regularly and from time to time comes with one or another purpose. It can be training or even doing some work, storing information, watching videos or other entertainment and so on. As you know, most sites work and "live" mainly through advertising. Advertisers place their information on their platform, for which the site receives a certain reward. Disabling the display of advertising, you are depriving your favorite web resource of the opportunity to earn. On one fine (or not so) day, he can simply shut down ... Agree, an unpleasant situation. Do you want this? So before you disable advertising in Yandex.Browser, think about where it really hinders, and where you can just not pay attention to it. This is what the above plugins will help you with. Conscious selection of content is the most rational choice for a modern user!
