## Description

Block ads and distractions with AdBlocker for Safari. This extension blocks ads across websites, helping you browse faster and more smoothly. It aims to block 99% of popups, banners, and video ads, while blocking trackers and unnecessary resources to save data and improve your day-to-day browsing experience.

Key features include Safari-specific ad blocking, built-in privacy protection with anti-tracking, faster web performance, longer battery life, and reduced data usage. Pro features offer additional controls such as Fanboy Anti-Facebook lists, anti-tracking lists, custom block lists, language-specific blocking, and more. Note that, while the blocker aims to block most ads, it cannot guarantee blocking every ad while preserving a good browsing experience.

## Review summary

Many users praise AdBlocker for blocking ads across Safari and sites like YouTube and Yahoo Mail, including video ads. It can be enabled via a Safari extension, and some users find it free to start. However, several reviews flag a paid-tier or removal of a free option, plus activation problems and occasional OS compatibility issues (notably iOS 14). Some ads still slip through for certain content. Overall performance is solid for many, but experiences vary due to pricing, activation, and platform compatibility.

### Pros

- Blocks ads effectively across Safari and popular sites (YouTube, Yahoo Mail, etc.).
- Works via a Safari extension you enable in Settings (easy activation).
- Free option exists (at least initially) and some users report it’s free.
- Blocks video ads as well as display ads.
- Positive, reliable performance across sites and devices.

### Cons

- Payment required / removal of free version; perceived money-hungry pricing model.
- Activation/enablement issues; users report it won’t turn on or settings are unresponsive.
- Not compatible with some iOS versions (e.g., iOS 14) or other compatibility issues.
- Does not block all ads; some ads still appear (e.g., certain video ads on Truth Social).
- User experiences vary widely; some users cannot use it at all despite others reporting good results.
