Chrome extension · Free forever
Remove ads from KeenIELTS and focus on the score, not the sidebar.
KeenIELTS Cleaner is a free Chrome extension built for learners who want a distraction-free IELTS study experience. It removes sidebar ads, popup ads, floating banners, sticky sponsor blocks, and Google AdSense units while preserving practice questions, reading passages, listening drills, speaking tasks, writing exercises, navigation, and user dashboard content.
The problem
Why ads reduce IELTS study focus
Online ads can interrupt concentration, slow page performance, and make it harder to focus on reading passages, listening transcripts, speaking prompts, and writing tasks. For IELTS candidates, every minute counts, and even a small distraction can break your preparation flow.
KeenIELTS Cleaner removes the visual clutter that competes with real study material, so you can keep your attention on vocabulary, grammar, timing, and exam technique without being pulled away by irrelevant promotions.
The payoff
Benefits of distraction-free IELTS practice
Cleaner interface
Ad-free content makes the page easier to read, understand, and use during timed exercises and mock tests.
Lower cognitive load
Removing unrelated offers helps you maintain mental energy for reading passages, listening audio, and writing essays.
Under the hood
How KeenIELTS Cleaner works
The extension uses a rule-based architecture that scans KeenIELTS pages for known advertising markers, including ad container classes, Google AdSense iframes, popup overlays, and floating banners. It removes only ad-related elements while leaving functional content untouched.
A MutationObserver watches for dynamic updates, ensuring the cleaner catches ads that appear after the page has loaded, including lazy-loaded banners or React-driven navigation transitions.
The architecture is designed for future support: new website rules can be added without changing the core engine, so your extension can grow beyond KeenIELTS in later versions.

Privacy-first approach

All settings are stored locally in Chrome Storage, and the extension behavior is easy to review in the source code for open-source users.
