While we all know that Google makes money by showing ads, most of us don’t know either that the company has a very strict policy on how websites display ads. Google has created very strict rules for display ads, especially for the mobile version of their website. The company knows that having too many ads on a website hinders user experience. For this reason, Google warns websites not to post what it calls “Intrusive ads”. In fact, Google also offers users a native way to block Intrusive ads in Chrome on Android. So, if you’re seeing a lot of ads while browsing the web on your Android device, here’s how you can disable them natively in Chrome:
Enable Chrome’s Native Ad Blocker on Android
- Launch Google Chrome and tap the three-dot menu. Now, tap on “Settings”.
2. Now, Tap to open “Site Settings” and then tap “Ads”.
3. Here, if you see the toggle for Ads enabled, Tap on it to disable.
Once you do this, Google Chrome blocks any intrusive ads you see while browsing the web in Chrome.. Note that this will not disable all ads. It will only block ads that don’t complain with their ad policy, while showing those that follow their rules. This is a great way to block unnecessary ads while supporting the websites you love and enjoy.

I like that a company like Google, whose main source of income comes from advertising, is that it makes an effort to frame good advertising policies. It is also known that Google penalizes websites that do not comply with its norms by placing them lower in the search results. The setting mentioned above is for websites that are too greedy and don’t care about Google’s fair advertising policy. Now you know how to block intrusive ads so you can enjoy surfing the web without being bombarded with ads.
