Stands AdBlocker is a free browser extension for blocking ads, pop-ups, and trackers on websites, including YouTube and Twitch. It supports major browsers and is listed for Windows and macOS; on Android, Stands provides a browser app that blocks ads while you browse inside it. Features include an element picker and automatic removal of cookie consent pop-ups. Users can allow ads on selected sites, creators, or channels and adjust ad and pop-up preferences.
