How to Block Annoying Ads on New York Post Once and For All

The New York Post is one of the busiest news sites around, and the ad load lives up to it. Autoplay video in the corner, banners stacked between paragraphs, pages that refresh and reload fresh ads while you read, and the odd full-screen takeover. That’s a lot for a quick check of the headlines.

The upside: most of it lifts away. Here we run through every working way to block New York Post ads — in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on the web, and on Android and iPhone. A dependable ad blocker carries the load.

One nice difference from a lot of outlets: the New York Post is free to read and doesn’t bury articles behind a hard paywall. So here an ad blocker genuinely leaves you with a clean page, not a locked one.

How to Stop Annoying Ads on New York Post

The New York Post leans on high-volume display advertising: autoplay video, sticky banners, ad units dropped mid-article, and auto-refresh scripts that swap in new ads as you scroll. Which method suits you depends on how you read it.

Here’s the ground this guide covers:

• Blocking ads on the New York Post website (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge)
• Blocking ads on mobile (Android and iOS)
• Stopping New York Post pop-ups and notifications
• Using AdLock to cover every device at once

How to Block Ads on New York Post Website

AdLock Standalone App (Desktop — Recommended)

On a computer, reach for the AdLock app for Windows or Mac. It cleans ad traffic at the network level, which means one install shields Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari all at once — no per-browser extensions to manage.

1. Download AdLock for Windows or macOS from adlock.com
2. Activate it with your license key
3. Blocking kicks in by default — open the New York Post and it’s clean

Chrome

Rather skip the full app? The ad blocker Chrome extension clears the Post’s banners, video, and pop-ups the moment it’s installed. Its reach ends at Chrome, though.

Safari

From the App Store, add AdLock to your Mac or iPhone, then enable it under Safari > Settings > Extensions on macOS or Settings > Safari > Content Blockers on iPhone and iPad. Safari clears the Post’s ads as the page renders.

Firefox

Firefox takes the AdLock extension the same way Chrome does — add it, enable it, and the New York Post arrives without its banners or video from the first load.

Edge

On Edge, the HOSTS file method or the browser’s built-in tracking prevention are your most dependable options. Our guide to block ads on Microsoft Edge covers both.

How to Block Ads on New York Post App (Android & iOS)

The New York Post app is ad-supported with no built-in way to switch ads off. System-level filtering is what clears them.

Android

AdLock for Android runs as a local VPN and filters every app on the device, the Post’s app included.

1. Download AdLock from Google Play (search AdLock: Adblocker & Privacy) or from adlock.com
2. Grant the VPN permission when it pops up
3. Install the CA certificate for HTTPS filtering — the app talks you through it
4. Activate your license
5. Open the New York Post — banner and video ads are gone

One setup covers the Post’s app, your mobile browser, and everything else on the phone at once.

iOS (iPhone and iPad)

Install AdLock for iPhone from the App Store and switch it on under Settings > Safari > Content Blockers — the same on iPhone and iPad. For the cleanest result, read the Post in Safari rather than the app, since Apple’s sandbox limits in-app filtering.

How to Stop New York Post Pop-Up Ads and Notifications

The notification prompts and breaking-news alerts are separate from the display ads. Say yes once and the Post keeps sending alerts until you revoke the permission.

• Chrome: open chrome://settings/content/notifications, find nypost.com, set it to Block
• Safari (Mac): Safari > Settings > Websites > Notifications, find New York Post, set to Deny
• Safari (iPhone/iPad): Settings > Safari > Notifications, turn New York Post off
• Firefox: open about:preferences#privacy, click Settings by Notifications, remove nypost.com

That handles the alerts and permission prompts. The on-page display ads are separate — they still need an ad blocker.

Why Use AdLock as Your New York Post Ad Blocker

A lot of blockers manage static banners but miss the autoplay video and auto-refresh units that make the Post feel relentless. AdLock catches those too, including autoplay video that keeps reloading as you scroll.

It also blocks the tracking scripts feeding the retargeted ads that follow you afterward. Because AdLock works at the network and JavaScript level instead of as a browser extension, the Manifest V3 changes that weakened so many browser blockers didn’t reach it. And with those heavy units never loading, the page opens quicker and burns less mobile data.

This isn’t limited to the Post, either — the same install clears ads across other news sites, apps, and games on your device.

Final Thoughts

For most readers, this setup does the job:

• Desktop (any browser): the AdLock app for Windows or macOS
• Chrome only: the free AdLock Chrome extension
• Safari on Mac or iPhone: AdLock with content blockers on
• Android: AdLock for Android, app and browser together
• iOS: AdLock content blockers, with the Post open in Safari
• Notifications: block nypost.com in your browser settings

Clear each layer and the New York Post reads cleanly again — no auto-refresh ads, no video pop-ups, just the story. And since there’s no hard paywall, nothing stays locked behind it.

Ready for a distraction-free read? Get AdLock and enjoy the New York Post the way it should be.
