Small controls.
A little more peace.

Automatic blocking for known ads, with hands-on control when something slips through.

Stop known ad sources.

Block advertising requests with a bundled filter list, and hide recognized ad elements on websites.

02 / CLEAR

Move the pop-up aside.

Reduce scripted pop-up windows. For a stubborn overlay, choose “Remove something” and select it to hide it until you reload.

03 / CONTROL

Keep your choice.

Turn protection off for a website or pause it everywhere. Extra pop-up protection is there for the sites that need it.

what you came for.

ClearWeb is still being tested and isn’t on the Chrome Web Store yet. The beta installs manually in desktop Chrome.

Download the free beta

Limited filter coverage. It won’t catch every ad or redirect. Extra protection may interrupt login or payment windows.

  1. Download and unzip.
    Open the ClearWeb ZIP, then find the extension folder inside.
  2. Open Chrome’s extensions page.
    Enter chrome://extensions in the address bar and turn on Developer mode.
  3. Load ClearWeb.
    Choose Load unpacked and select the extension folder. Chrome asks for website access so ClearWeb can find and hide ads.
  4. Refresh your websites.
    Open ClearWeb from Chrome’s extensions menu to adjust protection for the current site.
What does ClearWeb access?

ClearWeb can read and change HTTP and HTTPS webpage contents to recognize and hide ads. It reads the website’s hostname to apply your settings. This is broad access, including on pages that may display sensitive information; it is used locally for the blocking features.

What is saved or shared?

Only your enable/disable preference and website exception lists are saved in Chrome’s local extension storage. They are not synced by ClearWeb or sent to a developer server. Temporary hidden-element information stays in the current page until reload. Uninstalling ClearWeb removes its local extension storage.

Why does it need permissions?

Website access lets it find ad elements. Network-rule permission blocks known advertising requests. Scripting installs the pop-up guard. Storage saves preferences, and active-tab access supports controls for the site you are viewing. The current code has no remote-control feature or native application connection.

Does it download updates or track me?

ClearWeb has no analytics, tracking service, remote executable code, or automatic filter subscription. The beta’s filters change when you install an updated extension package. This website adds no analytics scripts, forms, or advertising cookies; its hosting provider may process request information to serve and secure the site.

Where does it work?

ClearWeb is designed for desktop Chrome. There are no country checks built into the extension, but ad coverage varies by website and region. The interface is currently English. It cannot change Chrome’s internal pages, protected store pages, or other applications, and it does not remove notification permissions or bypass paywalls.
