Our mission is to create a distraction-free and worry-free internet experience for everyone. We publish the world’s two most popular tools for blocking ads, trackers, and distractions: AdBlock and Adblock Plus, which are used by more than 150 million people worldwide. And we’ve recently expanded our product portfolio to include AdBlock VPN to help our users protect their privacy and access the content they want, wherever they are.Â
Our products have been downloaded more than 500 million times, are available in 30 different languages, and are used by people in more than 180 countries worldwide. After a decade of creating the world’s most popular ad blockers, we’ve started to expand our product suite to block additional distractions like cookie notices, anti-ad block walls, and the other pop-ups that plague the modern internet.Â
Our fully-remote team spans 10 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia. What unites us is a desire to ensure our users enjoy a distraction-free and worry-free internet experience.Â
