VK ads blocker

VK ads blocker is a free Chrome extension developed by Alex Bykov. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory.

The main purpose of this extension is to hide official advertising in the Vkontakte newsfeed, as well as some unofficial advert posts. By using VK ads blocker, users can effectively remove unwanted ads from their feed, creating a more streamlined and personalized browsing experience.

Currently, the extension identifies official advertising posts based on their corresponding labels, as well as most unofficial posts by analyzing keywords in the post text and attached content. It specifically targets posts that contain variations of the word "subscribe" in their text.

In the future, the developer plans to further enhance the extension by implementing more intelligent detection of advertising posts. Additionally, users will have the ability to customize which specific posts they want to hide from their feed.

Enabling or disabling the extension is as simple as clicking on its icon at the top of the browser and toggling its activity. This gives users the flexibility to enable ad-blocking when desired and disable it when not needed.

It's important to note that VK ads blocker does not hide the sidebar ads within Vkontakte. Its primary focus is on removing ads within posts, providing users with a cleaner and more enjoyable browsing experience.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
