How to Whitelist Mandarin Mania
in Your Ad Blocker
Your support helps keep our resources free. Advertising helps cover the cost of maintaining Mandarin Mania and allows us to continue providing free Mandarin learning resources. Whitelisting the site is a simple way to support our work without turning off your ad blocker everywhere.
The Basic Steps
Open Mandarin Mania
Stay on this page so your ad blocker recognizes the correct website.
Open your ad blocker
Select its icon in your browser toolbar or open its app settings.
Allow this website
Pause blocking for this site, then refresh the page if necessary.
Choose Your Ad Blocker
Select an option to view the instructions.
AdBlock Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari
- While viewing Mandarin Mania, select the AdBlock icon in your browser toolbar.
- Select Pause on this site.
- AdBlock should automatically refresh the page. If it does not, refresh the page manually.
In the current AdBlock version, “Pause on this site” may initially allow the site for seven days. Returning during that period automatically renews it. For a more specific exception, open the three-dot menu and choose More pause options.

Brave Shields Brave browser on desktop and mobile
- While viewing Mandarin Mania, select the Brave Shields icon beside the address bar.
- Turn off Shields for this site.
- Brave should refresh the page automatically. If it does not, refresh the page manually.
This changes the Shields setting for Mandarin Mania only. Brave Shields will remain active on other websites.
Safari on Mac Safari’s website content-blocker settings
- Open Mandarin Mania in Safari.
- From the Mac menu bar, select Safari and then Settings.
- Open the Websites tab and select Content Blockers in the sidebar.
- Find mandarinmania.com and turn off content blocking for the website.
- Close Safari Settings and refresh the page.
This is Safari’s general website setting. If your ad blocker provides its own allowlist, use the instructions in that ad blocker’s section above.
Still seeing an ad-blocker message?
More than one browser extension may be blocking ads, scripts or website content. Try the following:
- Refresh the page after changing your ad-blocker setting.
- Check whether another ad blocker or privacy extension is active.
- Make sure you allowed the entire domain: mandarinmania.com.
- Temporarily close and reopen your browser.
- Clear the page cache if your browser continues showing an older version.
