Trend Micro ID Protection lets you block unwanted elements on web pages — such as ads, trackers, or suspicious content — for a safer, cleaner browsing experience.
By removing these elements, you protect your privacy and reduce distractions while online.
🤷♂️ Why block page elements? Trackers can collect personal data for advertising or malicious purposes. Blocking them limits what websites can monitor about you.
💻 Steps to Block Elements on a Webpage
- Navigate to the website you want to clean up.
- Right-click on the page and hover over the Trend Micro ID Protection option in the menu.
- Select Block Page Element from the dropdown.
- Hover over and click on the specific element (ad, banner, tracker widget) you wish to block.
- From the pop-up options, choose:
- Unselect – Deselect the element before blocking.
- Preview – See how the page will look without the element.
- Block – Permanently block the element from loading.
💡 Tip: Use Preview before blocking to ensure you don’t accidentally remove important page functionality.
