  1. FAQ

How to Whitelist SIMKL.com in Your Ad Blocker

If you’re experiencing issues on SIMKL—such as slow loading, login problems, missing notifications, or site elements not appearing correctly—your ad blocker (or similar privacy tool) may be blocking essential scripts.

By whitelisting SIMKL.com, you can enjoy a faster experience without disrupting functionality.


Why Whitelist SIMKL.com?

  • Faster Page Loads: Scripts and resources load without being blocked.

  • Full Feature Access: Notifications, login, and interactive elements work smoothly.

  • Secure and Trusted: SIMKL is committed to keeping your data safe.


General Steps to Whitelist a Site

  1. Open the Ad Blocker Extension Click its icon in your browser toolbar (AdBlock, AdBlock Plus, uBlock Origin, etc.).

  2. Locate the Whitelist Option Look for settings labeled “Whitelist,” “Allow,” “Disable on this site,” or “Trust site.”

  3. Add SIMKL.com Choose the option to permit or disable blocking on the current domain (usually it will read simkl.com).

  4. Reload the Page Refresh SIMKL.com to apply changes.


Whitelisting by Extension

Tip: After whitelisting, always reload the page (Ctrl+R or ⌘+R) to apply changes.

1. General Ad-Block Extensions

AdBlock (getadblock.com)

  • Click the red AdBlock stop-sign icon.

  • Select “Don’t run on pages on this domain”.

  • Refresh SIMKL.com.

Adblock Plus (adblockplus.org)

  • Click the “ABP” icon.

  • Click “Enabled on this site” to toggle it off.

  • If filters still block content, go to Settings → Filter Lists and switch to “EasyList without element hiding.”

  • Reload the page.

Ghostery Tracker & Ad Blocker (ghostery.com)

  • Click the Ghostery ghost icon.

  • Click “Trust Site” (or “Whitelist site” in older versions).

  • Refresh SIMKL.

uBlock Origin (chrome-webstore; also in Firefox Add-ons)

  • Click the uBlock Origin shield icon.

  • Click the large blue power button (turns grey when off).

  • Reload SIMKL.com.


2. YouTube-Specific Blockers

These tools often block site scripts when you visit SIMKL, as they detect video elements. Temporarily disable them when using SIMKL.

  • AdBlock for YouTube™

  • All Block – AdBlock

  • Adblock for YouTube™ — best adblocker

  • JadSkip: Adblock for Youtube and Youtube Music

  • Adblock Unlimited – Adblocker

How to Whitelist:

  • Open the extension icon (varies by tool).

  • Find “Whitelist,” “Allowlist,” or “Pause on This Site.”

  • Add simkl.com.


3. Privacy & Tracker Blockers

These may block analytics or essential JS files on SIMKL.

  • AdGuard AdBlocker (adguard.com)

  • Disconnect

  • Adblock Fast (adblockfast.com)

  • Better Twitch Adblock

Whitelisting Steps:

  1. Click the extension icon.

  2. Look for “Enable on this site,” “Whitelist,” or “Trust site.”

  3. Confirm and reload SIMKL.


4. Anti-Ad & Combined Extensions

Some extensions combine ad blocking with privacy or anti-tracking. They can also interfere with site scripts.

  • AdBlocker Ultimate

  • Total Adblock – Ad Blocker

  • AdLock: Free Adblocker & Privacy Protection

  • Pie Adblock – A Powerful Free Ad Blocker

To whitelist:

  1. Open the extension’s settings menu.

  2. Add https://simkl.com under Allowed Websites.

  3. Save and refresh SIMKL.com.


5. Miscellaneous & Specialized Tools

  • Adware AdBlock (adaware.com)

  • Anti-Adblock Detector

  • AdBlock Pause (disables other adblockers)

  • NoScript (highly granular; see below)

Note on NoScript: NoScript requires manually allowing scripts, frames, and requests from each domain.

  • Open NoScript menu (S icon in toolbar).

  • Temporarily allow or trust scripts from simkl.com and relevant subdomains.

  • Reload and test functionality.


Other Potential Blockers

  • YouTube Ad-Blockers & Skippers Extensions designed to skip or block video ads can also interfere with site scripts. Temporarily disable them if issues persist.

  • Torrent & Privacy Extensions Some privacy-focused tools (e.g., BitTorrent helper add-ons) may inject code or block cookies. Pause them while using SIMKL. (Check if this works)

  • Antivirus & DNS Blockers Built-in ad blockers in antivirus software or DNS-level ad-blocking services can also cause conflicts. Temporarily disable ad-block features or switch DNS (e.g., to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8).

  • VPN/Proxy Services VPNs with ad blocking (like AdGuard DNS mode) can also block SIMKL scripts. Try disabling the ad-block feature or connect without the VPN to test.


What to Do After Whitelisting

  1. Clear Cache (optional but recommended):

    • Chrome: Settings → Privacy → Clear browsing data.

    • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data.

  2. Reload SIMKL to confirm the site is fully functional (logs in, notifications, lists load correctly).

  3. Re-enable Other Extensions one by one if necessary to pinpoint conflicts.

Quick Troubleshooting

  1. Disable all ad-related extensions and reload SIMKL.

  2. Re-enable one extension at a time to identify the culprit.

  3. Contact support at support@simkl.com if issues persist after whitelisting.


By whitelisting SIMKL.com and related domains, you ensure seamless functionality—fast page loads, working notifications, and a smooth experience!
