Use the switch or checkbox to disable AdBlock or Adblock Plus. If you're using Chrome, Firefox, or Edge, toggle the switch to the Off (gray or white) position to disable the extension. If you're using Safari, remove the checkmark next to AdBlock or AdBlock in the left panel. You can re-enable AdBlock or Adblock Plus at any time by toggling the switch back on or checking the corresponding box.
