AdStop - For Safari

A Safari extension that blocks ads, popups and forced redirects. Nothing to configure, no account, and nothing that ever leaves your iPhone.

AdStop is a Safari extension that blocks ads, popups and forced redirects, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

WHY I BUILT IT

I built this for everyone who has the same story. You're reading an article, you tap the screen, and a tab opens on its own to a page you never asked for. The banners were never what ruined the read: it was that. So that's where AdStop started, stopping a page from opening a tab you didn't want. Banners, scripts and video ads came later.

WHAT ADSTOP BLOCKS

• Popups and tabs opened without your consent • Forced redirects to another page • Banners and display ads • Overlay ads that cover the content • Video ads that start inside the page • Ad scripts, stopped before they even run

YOU STAY IN CONTROL

• One switch turns everything off, everywhere

YOUR NUMBERS, NO DECORATION

The app shows what was blocked: by type, by site, today, over seven days, since the start. There is also a daily streak and a few badges, not to pull you back in, but because watching the counter climb makes visible something you would otherwise never notice.

PRIVACY

• No account, no sign-up • No data sent to a server: everything stays on your device • No trackers, no ads inside the app • No in-app purchases, no subscription • AdStop reads your pages to block ads there, and for nothing else

TURNING IT ON

Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions > AdStop, then allow access to websites. The app walks you through it in three steps and tells you whether the extension is really active.
