How to Install Adblocker on Insignia Fire TV?

Amazon Fire TVs offer great value for money, but their ad-heavy interface can be frustrating. Unlike Google TV models in the same price range, Insignia Fire TV integrates promotional content throughout the UI and the built-in Silk browser. This can disrupt the user experience, making navigation less seamless.

By installing Adblocker on Insignia Fire TV, you can remove intrusive ads from both the TV interface and browser. Follow this detailed guide to get adblock for cleaner viewing experience.

  1. Navigate to the search bar on your Insignia smart TV.
  2. Type Downloader and select the corresponding orange app icon.
  3. Click Install and wait for the process to complete.

Step 2: Enable Developer Options

  1. Press the Settings button on your remote.
  2. Go to My Fire TV and select your Insignia Fire TV name.
  3. Repeatedly press the OK button until the message No need, you’re already a developer appears.
  4. Navigate to Settings > Developer options > Install unknown apps.
  5. Select Downloader from the list to allow installations from unknown sources.

Step 3: Download and Install Blokada

  1. Open the Downloader app.

Step 4: Activate Blokada for Ad Blocking

  3. The button will turn blue, confirming that Blokada is now active.
  4. Return to your Fire TV home screen and browse to confirm that ads have been removed.
