FixGuard

FixGuard is a free ad blocker for desktop Chrome and Microsoft Edge, with video ad blocking for YouTube and Dailymotion. Recent improvements handle consecutive YouTube ads and ads without an available skip button more reliably. Video ad blocking is in beta, and coverage varies as sites change. No account or subscription is required. Beyond video ads, FixGuard helps make everyday browsing quieter: • Block known ads and trackers, and hide leftover ad spaces. • Remove known tracking parameters from supported links and optionally send a Global Privacy Control preference. • Stop notification requests and suppress automatic sign-in prompts on supported pages, with separate controls in settings. • Hide a stubborn page element with the element picker, or manage your own selectors and blocked domains. Cookie prompts stay under your control. Choose automatic handling, hide banners, or leave prompts alone. Automatic handling uses supported sites’ consent controls, preferring reject or necessary-only choices where practical; it may accept on configured sites. Hiding a banner alone does not record a consent choice. If a page needs an exception, pause FixGuard for that site from the toolbar and keep protection enabled elsewhere. Settings also include saved site exceptions, local activity totals and rule-list import/export. Page cleanup happens in your browser. FixGuard does not upload page content, form entries, custom rules or browsing history to its rule service, or sell browsing data. Settings may sync through your browser profile; activity counts stay local. Rule downloads expose ordinary network metadata to hosting providers. Built by FixQuotes for people who want fewer video ads, less page clutter and practical browser privacy controls.
