Hi there!

I am certain that I am not the only one who is fed up by the live chat windows that automatically launch on some websites. I am wondering if there is anyway to browse anonymously so your visit is not known. The websites I am going to are just housing where I am looking for ideas.

Thanks so much :)

Hi Belinda,

There are a couple of things going on here.

First, the kind of "in-page" pop-up you're referring to isn't considered an ad by most ad-blocking filter lists. It's considered legitimate self-promotion, unlike third-party pop-ups that advertise some other company's products. Still, most of those in-page pop-ups can be blocked by subscribing to the Fanboy's Annoyances filter list in AdBlock's options, FILTER LISTS tab.

Next, there are various ways to browse anonymously:

In AdBlock, subscribe to the EasyPrivacy filter list, which blocks trackers that follow you across the Web.

Browse in incognito or private mode:
How to go incognito in Windows browsers
How to use private browsing in Safari for Mac
How to browse privately on your Android device
How to use private browsing on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
(Be sure to enable AdBlock for incognito or private browsing)

Here's a nice overview of additional things you can do to protect yourself from being tracked online.

I hope this helps! :)
