You can also remove it by right-clicking the extension icon and choosing “Remove from Chrome”

I already have an Ad Blocker, what should I do?

Using several adblockers at the same time may cause any of the products to work incorrectly. To try Stands, temporarily disable or remove excess adblockers.

I am still seeing ads - is something wrong?

Stands should block all annoying ads, like popups and ads that take over the entire page, so you should not see those. If you do – please let us know by reporting an issue from the app (there is a button at the bottom right corner)

I'm using a VPN, is that a problem?

No. There shouldn’t be any problem using Stands with VPN.

It seems like on some sites I see ads and on others I don't. Why is that?

Check to see if this site is on your whitelist. If not and the ads continue to appear, please contact our support.

I’m getting a NETWORK FAILED error message when trying to install Stands

A slow network connection.
Some security software, or perhaps the computer is managed by a company (i.e. your employer) which prevents you from installing extensions. It might be a malware or a virus on your computer (unrelated to Stands, sorry) that prevents you from installing extensions.
If you think it’s not the network connection, and your anti-virus is fine (or you don’t have one), it could quite possibly be option number 3. In that case, you might want to try and delete Chrome and reinstall it.
