Note: Only our desktop extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera support custom filters.

Add a custom filter:

1. Click the Adblock Plus toolbar icon. What if I don't see the Adblock Plus icon?
2. On the ABP toolbar menu, click the gear symbol.
3. On the options page that opens, go to the Advanced tab.
4. Under My filter list section paste your custom filter list into the box.
5. Click Add.
6. Refresh any tabs or windows that are already open to ensure the change appears.
