In their own words
Chroma Ad-Blocker
Chroma Ad-Blocker is a free, open-source Manifest V3 browser extension for local ad blocking in Chrome and Chromium-based browsers. It uses Chromium's declarative network request rules and includes exactly 300,000 static rules. Filtering supports Hagezi Pro Mini, EasyList, Fanboy Annoyance, Chroma's scriptlet library, and user-added lists. It can remove ad-related metadata from YouTube JSON payloads and redirect known Spotify web-player ad media to a packaged silent clip. Selected media domains can be routed through HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 proxies while other browser traffic remains direct. Chroma says it has no telemetry, analytics, or tracking servers, and keeps core settings, diagnostics, subscriptions, proxy settings, statistics, and logs on the device. When Chrome reports matched rules, a local log stores the latest 500 matches, possibly including full request URLs and rule metadata. Installation involves extracting a ZIP from GitHub releases and loading the unpacked extension in Chrome or Edge. Ad acceleration is for YouTube, not Amazon Prime Video or Twitch.
