04 / A LITTLE HELP

Good
to know.

A few things about Apex that may come in handy.

Report a problem
Is Apex AdBlocker free?

Yes. The current version is free and does not require an account or subscription.

Does it block every ad, including on YouTube?

Blocking every ad cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on website changes, filters and Chrome's limitations. Apex includes filters and local YouTube diagnostics, but does not promise complete coverage.

What if a website stops working correctly?

Open the Apex popup, turn protection off for that site and reload the tab. If the problem keeps happening, describe the steps on GitHub. Review any diagnostics report before sharing it.

Does Apex work on my phone?

This version is designed for desktop Chrome 121 or newer. Chrome on Android and iOS does not support installing this extension.

Can I use my own filters?

Yes. There is an editor in the extension settings. Apex supports a selected subset of Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin syntax. Some filter types from those projects are not supported.

How do I uninstall the extension?

Open chrome://extensions, find Apex AdBlocker and click “Remove”. You can delete its folder from your computer after uninstalling.
