Features & Capabilities

Adblock Fast is a new, faster ad blocker and the first open-source ad blocker for iOS (http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/09/adblock-fast-is-a-free-and-open-source-way-to-banish-ads-in-ios-9)!

Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their speed and hog your device’s disk space, CPU cycles, and memory. Adblock Fast runs an optimized ruleset to accelerate pages more but consume less system resources than other ad blockers do.

Adblock Fast blocks ads in Safari not in other apps. To allow Adblock Fast to block in Safari:

  1. press the Home button on your iPhone or iPad,
  2. tap the “Settings” app,
  3. tap “Safari” > (under “ General”) “Content Blockers”, then
  4. toggle the “Adblock Fast” switch on.

To unblock ads, navigate to the “Adblock Fast” app.

To see the effect of Adblock Fast on a particular page, you may have to clear Safari’s cache (tap “Settings” > “Safari” > “Clear History and Website Data”) before reloading the page.

User Reviews

Users largely praise Adblock Fast for blocking most ads, speeding up page loads, and its free, simple Safari-focused experience. However, recurring concerns include incomplete ad blocking (ads slipping through), over-blocking (blocking videos or site elements), lack of whitelisting/customization, and occasional compatibility issues after iOS updates. Overall, it’s a solid, lightweight option for Safari with clear advantages in speed and simplicity, but it has notable downsides regarding consistency and control.
Pros
  • Blocks most ads and speeds up page loading in Safari
  • Lightweight and simple to use with minimal setup
  • Free to use with no subscription or paid features
  • Effective at blocking popups and display ads
  • Generally reliable for Safari users and easy to enable in settings
Cons
  • Ads still slip through; not all ads are blocked
  • Over-blocks content at times (blocks videos, comments, or affects site interactions)
  • Lacks whitelisting or granular customization
  • Occasional compatibility issues after iOS/Safari updates causing it to stop working
  • Leaves blank spaces where ads used to be after blocking

Used to be great but no longer blocks YouTube ads. Even worst is that you can no longer skip ad if blocker is active. What’s the point? Deleting this app and finding a new one.

THE WORST!! Absolute worst!! Total BS! I don’t want to give even 1 Star. But I have to in order to submit. Does not deserve a fraction of a star.
