Founded in 2011, we develop ad-filtering technology and privacy solutions for the internet. Our goal is to create an online environment where users control their experience, content creators are fairly compensated, and advertisers can connect with consumers on clear terms. We offer solutions for publishers, advertisers, ad-tech providers, and over 400 million ad-filtering users worldwide.

Our ad-filtering technology is behind products like Adblock Plus and AdBlock. We also integrate our technology into popular browsers and smartphone OEMs. In 2011, we started the Acceptable Ads program, which sets standards for non-intrusive ads. This program now reaches 400 million users.

In 2017, we created the Acceptable Ads Exchange (AAX) to connect buyers and sellers of Acceptable Ads, building a marketplace for publishers and ad-filtering audiences. We launched Acceptable Ads Marketplaces in 2023.

In 2022, we acquired Blockthrough, a Toronto-based technology company. Blockthrough helps digital media businesses recover revenue lost to ad blocking by offering ad block recovery solutions. It also provides premium ad demand through direct connections with top-tier SSPs, and is a widely used ad block recovery solution among Comscore-150 companies.

Our mission is to build technology that balances the digital world, making the web better rather than just bigger. Our operations are guided by principles of respect, purpose, and protection.

We build with respect, creating technology that protects users, supports creators, and helps our partners grow through transparency and trust. We believe the internet should be safe, private, and work on users’ terms.

We grow with purpose, making sure every product—from ad blocking to network-level protection—empowers individuals and partners. This helps them shape a digital world that is ethical, effective, and sustainable. Privacy is central to what we do; we are committed to safeguarding users, strengthening trust in digital experiences, and ensuring the open internet remains a place where people feel safe, informed, and in control.

Our global team has over 300 individuals from more than 45 nationalities across 30+ countries. eyeo has offices in Cologne, Berlin (headquarters), and Toronto.

Our culture balances remote work with regular in-person meetups. This setup supports collaboration and a sense of belonging, while also allowing for flexible personal lives. We promote an environment where employees feel supported, not micromanaged, with a focus on mutual respect and well-being.

We look for proactive individuals who are ready to take initiative and help shape our future. Employees are encouraged to be thoughtful, curious, and collaborative. We value people who care about how things are built, can spot patterns, ask good questions, and thrive in dynamic situations, ultimately making a real impact with their work.

We offer comprehensive benefits to support flexibility, growth, work-life balance, and a sense of belonging.

For flexibility, we provide a remote-first work environment, flexible working hours, and flexible parental leave. We also offer a one-time home office or relocation allowance and home office reimbursement.

Growth opportunities include an annual learning and development budget, professional development planning, and annual salary reviews.

To support work-life balance and well-being, we offer 28 vacation days, a mental health support program, weekly yoga and guided meditation, and a paid sabbatical program after two years of employment.

For community and belonging, we organize regular in-person team off-sites and offer monthly childcare support. Additional benefits include competitive compensation, health, dental, and vision benefits, a Retirement Savings Plan, and top-of-the-line hardware.
