How to Enable Ad Blocking in C?c C?c Mobile

C?c C?c Mobile includes a built-in ad blocker, and current versions normally enable it by default. If ads appear, open the browser's settings, choose Ad blocking, and turn the feature on. You do not need a separate blocker for ordinary web pages opened inside C?c C?c.

Enable ad blocking on Android or iPhone

1. Update C?c C?c from Google Play or the App Store.
2. Open C?c C?c Mobile.
3. Open the browser menu and select the settings gear. Depending on the release and phone layout, the menu or gear may appear at the bottom or top of the screen.
4. Select Ad blocking or Ad filtering.
5. Turn on Enable ad blocking.
6. Return to the page and reload it.

C?c C?c's official mobile ad-blocking page says the feature uses Adblock Plus technology, is enabled by default, and provides per-site and filter-mode controls.

Follow the older iPhone interface

The screenshots below show a previous iPhone version. The current labels may say Ad blocking instead of Ad Filtering, but the sequence remains useful if your app still has this layout.

1. Open the C?c C?c menu.

2. Select the settings gear.

3. Open Ad Filtering.

4. Turn the feature on.

5. Reload a page to test.

Allow ads on one trusted website

A blocker can sometimes hide video, login, payment, comment, or consent controls. Make a narrow exception instead of turning it off everywhere:

1. Open the affected site in C?c C?c.
2. Select the shield icon or site-control button near the address bar.
3. Turn ad blocking off for that site.
4. Reload and test the missing feature.
5. Turn blocking back on when the exception is no longer needed.

Only allow a site you intended to visit. If a page contains fake download buttons, redirects, or suspicious permission prompts, leave it instead of disabling protection.

Change filter mode and acceptable ads

Current C?c C?c releases may offer standard and stronger filtering modes, an Acceptable Ads option, and a list of allowed sites. Start with the default mode. A stricter mode can remove more page elements but may also cause more breakage.

Do not enable every available list automatically. Add a regional or specialized list only to solve a specific problem, then test your usual sites.

What the mobile blocker can and cannot do

• It filters web content opened inside C?c C?c.
• It may reduce data used by blocked network requests, but savings depend on the site and content.
• It can block many YouTube ads in the C?c C?c web player, but results can change when YouTube updates.
• It does not change ads inside unrelated native apps such as games or the official YouTube app.
• It cannot automatically remove sponsorships spoken or embedded directly in a video.
• It does not replace Safe Browsing, operating-system updates, or careful handling of downloads.

If ads still appear

• Update C?c C?c and restart the app.
• Confirm that ad blocking is enabled globally and not disabled for the current site.
• Reload the page or open it in a new tab.
• Restore the default filter mode if you changed advanced settings.
• Remove or disable duplicate DNS, VPN, or browser-blocking tools during testing.
• Clear the affected site's data if an old consent or anti-adblock state persists.

If the issue is specifically YouTube, see our C?c C?c YouTube ad-blocking guide for desktop and mobile troubleshooting.

If a page stops working

1. Disable blocking for that site and reload.
2. If the feature returns, re-enable blocking and use a less strict mode or remove a custom list.
3. Check whether the problem also occurs with ad blocking off. If it does, the site, connection, or browser cache may be responsible.
4. Report a reproducible issue to C?c C?c support with the page URL, browser version, phone model, and steps.
