Our mission is to create a distraction-free and worry-free internet experience for everyone. We publish the world’s two most popular tools for blocking ads, trackers, and distractions: AdBlock and Adblock Plus, which are used by more than 150 million people worldwide.

Our products have been downloaded more than 500 million times, are available in 30 different languages, and are used by people in more than 180 countries worldwide.
