In addition to using the Covenant Eyes filter, which blocks explicit websites, you can also use an ad blocker extension. An ad blocker is like a mini-program for your browser (Google Chrome, Edge, FireFox, etc.) that blocks pornographic pop-ups and ads. Our testing focused on the compatibility of the blocker with our Screen Accountability™ service. We did not test how well the blockers performed. Here are blockers that we found to be compatible:
| Name of Ad Blocker | Chrome? | Edge? | Firefox? |
| AdBlock | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Adblock Plus | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AdBlocker by TrustNav | Yes | No | No |
| AdBlocker Ultimate | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AdGuard | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AdLock | Yes | No | Yes |
| TrustNave SafeSearch | Yes | No | Yes |
