How to disable Yandex Direct in Yandex Browser

Yandex.Direct - contextual advertising from the company of the same name, which is displayed on many sites on the Internet and may be uncomfortable for users. At best, this advertisement is simply in the form of text ads, but maybe in the form of animated banners that distract and display a completely unnecessary product.

Such advertising can be skipped even if you have an advertisement blocker installed. Fortunately, turn off Yandex.Direct is easy, and from this article you will learn how to get rid of annoying advertising on the network.

Important Nuances of Locking Yandex.Direct

Sometimes even an advertisement blocker can miss the contextual advertising Yandex, which is, to talk about those users whose browsers are not equipped with such programs at all. Please note: The recommendations below are not always helped to get rid of this type of advertising 100%. The fact is that it is not possible to block the entire directory at a time that is possible in view of the continued creation of new rules operating in the user blocking. For this reason, it may take a periodic manual addition of banners to the lock list.

We do not recommend using Adguard, as the developers of this expansion and browser are in partnerships, and therefore the Yandex domains are listed in the "exceptions" of the blocker, to change which the user is not allowed.

Step 1: Installing Extension
