StillWeb

The ad blocker that just works.

StillWeb is a free, no-account browser extension that blocks ads and trackers using the same filter lists trusted by major blockers (EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and more via @ghostery/adblocker).

  • Free forever
  • No signup
  • Built for Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chromium browsers (Manifest V3)

Download (easy way)

Get the latest build from solidified.dev/store/stillweb — one click, no GitHub required.

Or grab a release from GitHub Releases.

Install (developer / manual)

  1. Run a full build:
cd stillweb
npm install
npm run build
  1. Open chrome://extensions
  2. Enable Developer mode
  3. Click Load unpacked
  4. Select the stillweb folder (the one containing manifest.json)

Reload any open tabs after installing.

How it works

  • Network blocking — filter lists are compiled into Chrome declarativeNetRequest rules at build time
  • Cosmetic blocking — hides leftover ad boxes and annoyances on the page itself
  • Toggle — click the StillWeb icon to turn protection on or off

Development

npm run build        # icons + filter rules + bundle
npm run build:rules  # refresh filter engine + DNR rules only
npm run bundle       # rebundle JS only

After changing source files, run npm run bundle and click Reload on the extension card in chrome://extensions.
