Pop-ups & pop-unders
Scripts that call window.open to throw a new tab behind your back get a quiet null instead. That includes the hidden-iframe trick some ad libraries use to get around ordinary blockers.

01 — What it does
You click “Play”.
A casino opens. Not anymore.
Shady sites hide ads behind your clicks. AdsClickShield goes after the three tricks they rely on most and shuts them down before they run.
Invisible click traps
Full-page transparent overlays that steal your first click are hidden as the page loads and removed the moment they're added. Your click lands where you aimed it.
RemovedTab-swap redirects
The trick where your current tab quietly navigates to an ad while a copy of the site opens next to it. Script-driven clicks on external links are cancelled before they go anywhere.
Stopped02 — Features
Small extension.
Serious shield.
Starts before the page does
The guard is injected at document_start, straight into the page, before any site script runs. Ad code finds the door already closed, even on pages with strict security policies.
See every block
The toolbar popup counts popups, redirects, click traps and ad setups on the current page, with a timeline of recent activity.
Allow & block lists
Up to 100 domains per list, subdomains included. More specific rules win, so you can trust example.com but still guard ads.example.com.
One-click on / off
A single switch pauses protection everywhere while keeping your lists intact. The current tab reloads with your new choice right away.
Two protection modes
Protect every site except the ones you allow, or protect only the sites you pick. Your call.
Light & dark
The popup and settings page follow your browser theme. Small, quiet and out of the way.
Normal clicks still work
Your own clicks, regular links, links that open in a new tab, downloads and magnet links all work as usual. Only script-driven tricks are stopped.
03 — How it works
Three steps.
Two of them are “do nothing”.
-
1
Add it to Chrome
One click from the Chrome Web Store. Works on Chrome 119 and newer. No sign-up, no setup wizard.
-
2
Browse like you normally do
Protection is on for every HTTP and HTTPS site by default. Already-open tabs pick it up after a refresh.

The shield handles the rest
Popups return nothing, traps disappear, sneaky redirects go nowhere. Click the toolbar icon whenever you want to see what was stopped.
04 — Totally free
Free. Not “free trial”.
Just free.
No subscription, no locked “pro” features, no upsell banners, no account. Everything described on this page is what you get the moment you install it.
- Every feature unlocked
- No sign-up or email required
- No ads inside the ad-blocker (that would be ironic)
05 — Privacy
We collect nothing.
Here's the receipt.
AdsClickShield has no servers to send data to. Your settings stay in Chrome's local storage, and the activity counters live in page memory and disappear when you navigate away.

Thank you for browsing in peace.
Safe by design: every permission, explained
storage
Saves your on/off switch and domain lists locally so they survive restarts.
scripting
Registers the guard that runs on pages before their scripts, and reads the page's live counters for the popup.
activeTab
Lets the popup see which site the current tab is on when you click the toolbar icon.
http://* · https://*
Needed to protect any website you visit. Browser pages such as chrome:// are never touched.
Tested in a real browser. An automated test suite loads the actual extension in Chromium and checks it against strict security policies, iframe bypasses, tab swaps, first-click traps and settings that persist across restarts.
06 — Any problem?
Something not right?
It's usually a 10-second fix.
I installed it, but a tab I already had open still shows ads.
Tabs that were open before you installed or updated the extension need a refresh. Reload the tab and the guard loads with it. The popup shows Reload required when a tab is out of date.
A website's feature stopped working (a share window, a login popup…).
AdsClickShield blocks all script-opened popups, including a few legitimate ones. Open the popup on that site and choose Allowlist for the domain. The tab reloads and that site works normally again.
The popup says “unsupported” or “browser-restricted”.
Chrome doesn't let any extension run on its internal pages (chrome://, the Web Store) or on local files. That's a browser rule. Every normal HTTP/HTTPS website is covered.
I only want protection on a few sketchy sites.
Open Manage lists and switch the mode to Protect only disallowed domains, then add the sites you want guarded. Each entry covers its subdomains too.
Does it slow down my browser?
No. The guard is a small script that patches a few browser functions once per page. There's no ad filter list to download, no network requests, and no background scanning.
Still stuck? How do I report a problem?
Click Copy diagnostics at the bottom of the popup. It copies the version, current site, status and counters, but never your domain lists. Paste that into your report so we can see exactly what happened.
