Clear your ABB browsing history, cache, and website data

Clearing your cache and website data is a great way to protect your internet privacy. As well if you run into issues with your browser, it can be a good troubleshooting step to get things back up and running.  Why do we suggest this step when you see ads?

  • Your browser cache may retain information from a previous visit to a website with ads. If you delete the cache, they can no longer load.
  • A website may have created cookies on your computer that interfere with ad blocking.
  • Malware can change your browser settings to keep your ad blocker from working.
