How To Get Adblock To Work With Crunchyroll

To fix this, try using stronger ad blockers like uBlock Origin or AdGuard. These work better, especially if you keep their filter lists up to date and adjust some browser settings. You can also edit your computer’s hosts file to block ad servers such as static.vrv.co, which can help stop ads from showing up during videos. Please note that crunchyroll.com works across multiple platforms. Besides the website, there are also Crunchyroll apps for Android and iOS. Blocking ads within mobile apps is a separate challenge.

1. Update Your AdBlock Extension and Filter Lists to the Latest Version

Crunchyroll regularly updates its methods to beat adblockers. If your AdBlock extension or its filter lists are out of date, they may not be able to stop these new ads. Updating your AdBlock extension and filter lists can help. We’ll use Chrome with the AdBlock extension as an example, but you can follow similar steps in other browsers.

2. Change Hosts File to Bypass In-Stream Ads

When Crunchyroll plays ads during videos, it uses the static.vrv.co server. We can edit the hosts file on your PC to block this ad source.

3. Try Another Browser or a Different Adblocking Extension

Sometimes, your browser or adblocker extension can run into issues, or simply can’t keep up with Crunchyroll’s frequent changes. Trying a different browser or a different adblocker extension might help. For example, if you’re using Chrome, try switching to Firefox, Edge, or another browser, and install a new adblocker extension. Here are some extensions known to work for blocking ads on Crunchyroll:

4. Use Opera’s Built-In Adblocker

Opera’s built-in adblocker performs better than many popular adblocker extensions. Many users have reported not seeing any ads when using Opera. If you switch browsers, keep in mind that your Chrome and Opera settings may not sync automatically.

5. Use Nano Defender

Crunchyroll uses technology to detect and bypass normal adblockers. Extensions like Nano Defender can help bypass this. Nano Defender works with Nano Adblocker, or you can set it up with uBlock Origin as well.

6. Use Developer Tools

If your adblocker isn’t working, you can use Chrome’s developer tools to block ad-serving domains directly. If ads still appear, or Crunchyroll changes the domain used for ads, follow these extra steps:

7. Uninstall and Reinstall Your Adblocking Extension

If nothing else has worked, uninstalling and then reinstalling your adblocker extension may help. We’ll use AdBlock on Chrome as an example, but you can follow similar steps in your browser.

8. Use a Guest Pass to Access Crunchyroll Without Ads

You can use Guest Passes to enjoy Crunchyroll with no ads and no charges. Once a month, premium users receive a passcode—a type of invitation which new users can use for a free 48-hour trial of premium membership features. Please note, a free account can use up to 10 guest passes every six months. But how do you get a guest pass?

9. Use Crunchyroll Premium Membership

If none of the options above work, and you don’t mind subscribing, you can purchase Crunchyroll Premium starting at $7.99/month (plus taxes). This is the most straightforward way to enjoy ad-free anime.
