How to cancel or uninstall Total Adblock
Total Adblock is a browser extension that blocks ads on websites you visit. To stop using it, you uninstall the extension from your browser — there is no account to cancel or subscription to end, because the free version has no recurring charges. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, but the process takes less than a minute in any of them.
If you paid for a premium version of Total Adblock through your browser or a third-party site, you may also need to cancel that separate subscription to stop being charged. The uninstall itself is free and when ready.
Key Takeaways
- Uninstalling Total Adblock removes it from your browser permanently; you do not need to contact the company or cancel an account.
- In Chrome and Edge, right-click the extension icon and select "Remove from Chrome" or "Remove from Microsoft Edge".
- In Firefox, go to about:addons, find Total Adblock, and click the three-dot menu next to it, then select "Remove".
- If you paid for premium features, check your browser's subscription settings or your credit card statement to cancel that billing separately.
- After uninstalling, ads will reappear on websites unless you install a different ad blocker or use your browser's built-in privacy features.
Uninstall Total Adblock in Chrome
Open Chrome and look at the top right corner of your browser window. You should see a row of small icons. Click the puzzle-piece icon — this opens your extensions menu. Find Total Adblock in the list.
Right-click on the Total Adblock entry and select "Remove from Chrome". A confirmation box will appear asking if you want to remove the extension. Click "Remove" again. The extension is now uninstalled, and ads will begin showing on websites again.
If you do not see a puzzle-piece icon, your extensions may be hidden. Click the three vertical dots in the top right corner of Chrome, hover over "Extensions", and then click "Manage extensions". Find Total Adblock in the list and toggle the switch to the off position, or click the trash icon to remove it entirely.
Uninstall Total Adblock in Firefox
Open Firefox and type about:addons in the address bar, then press Enter. This opens the Add-ons page. Click "Extensions" in the left sidebar if it is not already selected.
Scroll down to find Total Adblock in your list of installed extensions. Click the three dots next to it and select "Remove". Firefox will ask you to confirm. Click "Remove" again, and the extension is uninstalled when ready.
Uninstall Total Adblock in Safari
Open Safari and click "Safari" in the menu bar at the top of your screen. Select "Settings" (or "Preferences" on older versions of macOS). Click the "Extensions" tab.
Look for Total Adblock in the list on the left side. Click it once to select it, then click the "Uninstall" button. Safari will ask you to confirm. Click "Uninstall" again. The extension is now removed from your browser.
Uninstall Total Adblock in Edge
Open Microsoft Edge and click the three horizontal dots in the top right corner. Select "Extensions" from the menu, then click "Manage extensions".
Find Total Adblock in your list of extensions. Click on it to open its details page. Click the trash icon or toggle the switch to the off position. If you click the trash icon, Edge will ask you to confirm the removal. Click "Remove" and the extension is uninstalled.
Cancel a paid Total Adblock subscription
If you purchased a premium version of Total Adblock, you have a separate subscription that charges your payment method regularly. Uninstalling the extension does not stop these charges — you must cancel the subscription separately.
Check your browser's subscription settings first. In Chrome, click the three dots in the top right, go to "Settings", then "Apps" or "Extensions" (depending on your version), and look for a "Manage subscriptions" or "Billing" option. In Firefox, go to about:preferences#privacy, scroll to "Subscriptions", and look for any active subscriptions there.
If you do not find it in your browser, check your email for a receipt from Total Adblock or the payment processor. The receipt usually contains a link to manage or cancel your subscription. You can also check your credit card or PayPal statement for the charge and contact that payment method's customer service to dispute or cancel the recurring payment.
What happens after you uninstall Total Adblock
Once you uninstall the extension, it stops working when ready. Websites will display ads again, including banner ads, video ads, and pop-ups. If you want to continue blocking ads without Total Adblock, you can install a different ad blocker from your browser's extension store, or you can use your browser's built-in privacy and tracking prevention features.
Your browsing history and saved passwords are not affected by uninstalling an extension. Only the ad-blocking function stops working.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will uninstalling Total Adblock delete my browsing history?
No. Uninstalling an extension only removes that tool from your browser. Your browsing history, bookmarks, passwords, and all other browser data remain unchanged. If you want to delete your browsing history, you must do that separately through your browser's settings.
Can I reinstall Total Adblock later if I change my mind?
Yes. You can reinstall Total Adblock from your browser's extension store (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, Safari App Store, or Microsoft Edge Add-ons) at any time. If you had a paid subscription, you would need to purchase it again.
Why are ads still showing after I uninstalled Total Adblock?
That is normal. Total Adblock was blocking ads, so removing it means ads display again. If you want to block ads without Total Adblock, install a different ad blocker or enable your browser's built-in tracking prevention (which blocks some ads and trackers but not all).
How do I know if I have a paid subscription to cancel?
Check your email for receipts from Total Adblock or look at your credit card or PayPal statement for recurring charges. If you see a charge labeled "Total Adblock" or similar, you have an active subscription. Contact your payment method's customer service if you cannot find the subscription in your browser settings.
