User Reviews

Users praise Bolt for easy setup, strong ad/tracker blocking, and a privacy-focused, free solution. However, repeated concerns include privacy issues with the Plus feature, incomplete blocking (notably YouTube ads), performance slowdowns, and unreliable list updates. Users also want more customization and clearer update information. Overall, Bolt is valued for simplicity and protection, but needs improved blocking completeness, transparency, and performance.

Pros

Easy to install and very user-friendly
Strong ad and tracker blocking that reduces pop-ups and speeds up browsing
Privacy-conscious approach and trusted feel among users
Free to use, making it accessible to a wide range of Safari users

Cons

Privacy concerns about the Plus feature and its data collection/DNS usage with limited transparency
Incomplete blocking in some cases (ads; YouTube and other domains still slip through) and desire for more customization (blacklist controls)
Potential performance impact (slower browsing, higher CPU usage) and lists loading slowly
Unreliable or unclear list/update behavior (lists stop updating or updates lack detail)
Requests for better transparency about updates and more granular control over settings
