The next-generation ad blocker

Overview

Version:

2.2.0

Last updated: 2026-07-05

Features & Capabilities

wBlock is a next-generation ad blocker that makes browsing cleaner, faster, and more private. It supports powerful userscripts to add features mainstream browsers can't—reviving YouTube dislikes, bypassing paywalls, and tailoring feeds—so you can shape the web the way you want.

Designed for performance and control, wBlock uses about 40 MB of RAM at idle, one of the lightest blockers available. It offers per-site blocking, custom filter lists, and detailed logs, all while remaining free and open-source. With a privacy-first approach and AdGuard filters, it blocks ads, trackers, malware, and annoyances across the entire web, updating protection with one click.

User Reviews

wBlock is praised as a fast, lightweight, open-source Safari ad blocker with strong cross-platform support, rich customization, and a donation-friendly model. Key strengths include iCloud-enabled syncing, filter-and-scripts management, and a built-in element zapper. Common drawbacks focus on inconsistent blocking across sites, incomplete cross-device synchronization, and occasional performance issues on certain sites or devices.

Pros

Very effective ad blocker; fast, lightweight, open-source with no data collection.
Excellent cross-platform support (iOS and macOS) with iCloud sync and low resource use.
Rich customization: manage filter lists and userscripts in one place; built-in element zapper (Zapper).
Open-source with a donation-friendly model (one-time payment option, not a subscription).

Cons

Blocking results can be inconsistent: some sites are blocked too aggressively (e.g., blocking payments) while others slip through despite filters.
Cross-device sync is incomplete; users want seamless syncing of whitelists and settings between iOS and macOS beyond iCloud.
Performance/compatibility concerns on some sites/devices (video blocking issues and Safari slowdowns) reported by multiple users.

Recent reviews

It works like normal ublock origin but it doesn’t block like it. It doesn’t block popups, full screen overlays, and sites that try to block adblockers (for example, fandom). Ublock lite does these much better from my testing.
