How extensions work in Pola
Early access to extension support with a focus on quality
uBlock Origin Lite included
Pola comes with uBlock Origin Lite built-in. No need to install anything, ad blocking works immediately. Block ads, trackers, and malicious sites from the moment you start browsing.
Modern extension architecture
Pola uses Manifest V3, the modern extension standard that prioritizes security and performance. Extensions run with limited permissions and cannot slow down your browser or compromise your privacy.

Common questions
Which extensions are currently supported?
Pola currently ships with uBlock Origin Lite built-in. We are actively testing additional extensions and expanding support based on user feedback. Our goal is a curated collection of high-quality extensions rather than thousands of low-quality ones.
Can I install Chrome extensions?
Pola is working toward supporting Manifest V3 extensions, which includes many modern Chrome extensions. However, not all extensions will be compatible due to our privacy-first architecture. We prioritize extensions that respect user privacy and do not compromise security.
How can I request an extension?
We love hearing from users about which extensions they need. Send us feedback through the browser or our website. Tell us what tool you want and why it matters for your workflow. Your input directly shapes our development priorities.
