Intrusive advertising follows you everywhere — even in mobile browsers. Sometimes it is very difficult to close it because of the small size of the “cross” and huge banners that occupy the entire screen. Today we will tell you how to get rid of advertising in the mobile version of “Yandex.Browser”.

Standard browser tools

Blocking ads in Yandex Browser on Android can be done in several ways. First, let’s look at what the program settings offer us.

The browser has an automatic system for tracking unwanted advertising. It is divided into annoying and shocking. These categories include the following types of banners:

  • Full-screen banners that appear after loading and disappear over time (or require closing);
  • Automatically running promotional videos;
  • Flashing animation dangerous for people with epilepsy.

By default, such ads are disabled in Yandex Browser on Android. But you can check the settings to make sure.

  • Launch Yandex Browser;
  • Click on the three horizontal dots at the bottom to enter the menu;
  • Select “Settings”;
  • Scroll down to Content Blocking;
  • Open the item and check if the blocking of shocking and disturbing ads is enabled.

Third party programs

Third-party ad blocker for Yandex browser on Android is, fortunately, supported. This function is currently in “Beta” mode, which means it may work with failures. But users praise Yandex for the ability to connect their favorite blockers and use them as an extension for the browser.

Please note that not all ad blockers can be installed with Yandex Browser support. 

Let’s look at installing a blocker using the popular AdGuard: Content Blocker extension as an example.

  • Download AdGuard: Content Blocker from Google Play. You can do this by clicking on the link , or by searching for the program by name in the store search;
  • Install the program and run it;
  • Click the “Enable AdGuard” button. You will be redirected to Yandex Browser settings.
  • In your browser settings, select AdGuard: Content Blocker and enable the extension.

Yandex Browser for Android supports ad blocking extensions compatible with Samsung Internet for Android. This includes not only AdGuard: Content Blocker, but also other programs, such as AdBlock Fast. You can download it from the link .

These are the most useful ways to get rid of ads in Yandex Browser on Android mobile devices.
