Ad Blocking
Hyperbrowser's browser instances can automatically block ads and trackers. This improves page load times and further reduces detection risk. In addition to ads, Hyperbrowser allows you to block trackers and other annoyances including cookie notices.
To enable ad blocking, set the proper configurations in the session create parameters.

const session = await client.sessions.create({
adblock: true,
});

const browser = await connect({
browserWSEndpoint: session.wsEndpoint,
defaultViewport: null,
});
const [page] = await browser.pages();
// Navigate to a website
console.log("Navigating to Hacker News...");
await page.goto("https://news.ycombinator.com/");
const pageTitle = await page.title();
console.log("Page 1:", pageTitle);
await page.evaluate(() => {
console.log("Page 1:", document.title);

console.error(`Encountered error: ${err}`);

asyncio.run(main())Trackers and Annoyances
Hyperbrowser can block some trackers automatically if the options are selected when creating a session. In addition, Hyperbrowser can also filter out some popups and cookie prompts if the the options are selected.
...
await client.sessions.create({
adblock: true,
trackers: true,
annoyances: true,
// You must have trackers set to true to enable blocking annoyances and
// adblock set to true to enable blocking trackers.
});
......
await client.sessions.create(
params=CreateSessionParams(
adblock=True,
trackers=True,
annoyances=True,
)
)
...To enable trackers blocking, adblock must be enabled.
To enable annoyance blocking, adblock and trackers must be enabled.
Automatically Accept cookies
Some site prompt users for cookies in a particularly intrusive way for scraping. If the acceptCookies param is set, then Hyperbrowser will automatically accept cookies on the browsers behalf.
