Installing a browser extension ad blocker is the fastest route to stopping adverts on Dailymotion. Free tools handle video overlays and mid-roll interruptions without configuration. Chrome users can also restrict ads through the browser's built-in Site Settings, though this method is less comprehensive.
## Why Dailymotion shows so many advertsDailymotion uses an [advertising model based on video](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/), which means ads are essential to keeping the platform free for users. The platform is [Europe's oldest video-sharing platform](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/) and has an [advertising reach of more than 350 million active users who watch more than 3.5 billion videos every month](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html). In 2021, [Dailymotion hit $19 million in revenue](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html).
Common types of ads you will encounter include [pre-rolls and mid-rolls appearing before or during videos](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/). [Videos are often served with in-stream ads that appear during, before, and after videos](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html). Dailymotion has [increased the number of ads per video to stay competitive with YouTube and TikTok](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/).
## Using browser extensions to block Dailymotion adsThe [easiest way to enjoy Dailymotion without ads is to use a free ad blocker](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/). These third-party extensions [analyse page code, identify and prevent the loading of advertising scripts](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/), eliminating both visual ads and hidden trackers.
[AdBlock is considered the best ad-blocking software with more than 60 million users](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html). The extension [eliminates the annoying ads on Dailymotion](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html) and is [available for Chrome, offering comprehensive ad-blocking that says goodbye to disruptive pop-ups, banners, and video ads](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/adblock-%E2%80%94-block-ads-acros/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en-US).

To install an ad blocker:
Make sure your [Dailymotion adblocker extension is enabled, reliable, and up to date, as some older versions may not block dynamic video ads](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/).
## Blocking Dailymotion ads using Chrome Site SettingsIf you would rather not install an extension, Chrome has a built-in route. According to a [method documented by Wondershare Filmora](https://filmora.wondershare.com/social-media/dailymotion-adblock.html), you can adjust your browser settings to reduce ads.
This method does not catch every ad type. It reduces the volume of display and overlay ads without any third-party software, but pre-roll and mid-roll video ads often slip through.
## Automatic ad-skipping extensionsSome extensions focus specifically on video platforms. [Ad Skipy is programmed to automatically eliminate video ads on well-known platforms like YouTube, Dailymotion, and HDrezka](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-skipy-skip-ads-on-yout/gpficnoppbjihidehlelmehkgkilhoeb). The extension [autonomously identifies and closes video ads without any need for user intervention](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ad-skipy-skip-ads-on-yout/gpficnoppbjihidehlelmehkgkilhoeb), eliminating the need to wait for "Skip Ad" buttons.
## Mobile optionsBrowser extensions do not work inside mobile apps. [Advanced Dailymotion partners are the only ones who can disable ads on their videos](https://www.standsapp.org/blog/dailymotion-ad-blocker/), which means standard users watching on mobile need alternative approaches. Using a mobile browser that supports extensions rather than the Dailymotion app gives you the same blocking capability as on desktop.
## Why some ads still appearEven with an ad blocker installed, you may occasionally see ads on Dailymotion. This happens because Dailymotion may have updated its ad delivery system faster than your blocker's filter list has been updated. Some ads are served from the same domain as the video content itself, making them harder to distinguish and block. Certain ad formats embedded in the video stream cannot be blocked by browser extensions because they are part of the video file itself.
If you see ads despite having a blocker installed, the first step is to check for extension updates. The second step is to clear your browser cache, as old ad scripts can sometimes persist. The third step is to try a different blocker from those listed above.
