Remember when browsing the internet was easy?
You’d open a website, read what you came for, and move on. No pop-ups. No autoplay videos. No creepy ads stalking you from one site to the next.
Fast-forward to today, and it feels like you need armor just to read a recipe or check the weather. Before you even scroll, you’re bombarded by flashing banners, hidden trackers, and videos that play without your permission—and somehow know what you Googled yesterday.
These distractions don’t just ruin your online experience—they can slow down your device, eat up your mobile data, shorten your battery life, and even compromise your privacy.
It’s exhausting.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Meet Clean Web by Surfshark: Your Online Cleanup Crew
Clean Web is an ad blocker created by Surfshark—the same company behind one of the world’s most trusted VPNs. It’s not just a tool to remove pop-ups (though it’s very good at that).
Clean Web is your digital defense against:
- Annoying ads that clutter your screen;
- Hidden trackers that follow your every move;
- Malicious websites that try to sneak in malware.
In other words: it helps you browse faster, safer, and without the digital noise.
Unlike many standalone ad blockers that only work in one browser or on one device, Clean Web protects you everywhere.
It works across all major browsers and devices—phones, tablets, and computers—so you’re covered no matter how or where you browse.
And when you activate Clean Web, you’re not just getting an ad blocker. You also get Surfshark’s powerful VPN for secure, private connections, and Alternative ID, a feature that helps protect your real identity and email from spam, scams, and unwanted exposure online.
It’s a full privacy and security package—wrapped into one easy app.

Why Clean Web Is a Must for Everyday Browsing
So why should you care about using an ad blocker?
Because ads today aren’t just ads.
Most websites are packed with third-party code that tracks your every click and scroll—often without your knowledge or consent. That’s how ads get so weirdly personal ("Why am I seeing hiking boots when I only thought about going outside?").
With Clean Web, you get:
- Faster page load times – No ads = less clutter = smoother browsing;
- Fewer distractions – No more frantically closing popups mid-article;
- Better battery life – Especially useful when you’re on the go;
- Reduced mobile data usage – Clean Web cuts the junk before it even loads;
- More privacy – Say goodbye to stalker ads and shady trackers.
And the best part? You don’t need to be tech-savvy to use it.
How to Set It Up (Takes Just Minutes)
Getting started with Clean Web is easy. Just sign up for Surfshark, and you’re good to go.
Whether you prefer using the app on your phone or computer, or the browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, or Edge—simply enable Clean Web in the settings, and it starts working instantly.
No complex setup. No extra tools. Just clean, fast, and private browsing from the moment you turn it on.
A Safer, Calmer Internet Is Just a Click Away
The internet doesn’t have to feel chaotic. You can take control of your online experience—and it starts with blocking the noise.
