## Description

PubBlock cleans up Safari: no more banners, no more pop-up ads, no more trackers following you from site to site. Pages load faster, use less data and respect your privacy.

HOW IT WORKS
• Safari content blocker (free): PubBlock hands Safari a compiled rule list, and Safari blocks ads and trackers before they even load. No injected scripts, nothing read from your pages.
• DNS filter for all your apps (Pro): a local DNS proxy, running on your device, refuses to resolve known advertising and tracking domains. It protects every app, not just Safari.
• Safari extension for youtube.com (free): it removes the site's video ads, including the ones that play before the video. Turn it on in Settings > Safari > Extensions.

WHAT MAKES PUBBLOCK DIFFERENT
• Zero data collection: no account, no analytics, no server. Everything happens on your iPhone or iPad.
• No subscription: PubBlock Pro is a one-time purchase.
• A list built for the French-speaking web: on top of the big global ad networks, PubBlock blocks the French and European ad-tech and tracking tools that generic lists often miss.
• Your own rules: add the domains you want to block or allow.
• A live counter showing what has been blocked.
• Light and quiet: no complicated settings, everything works in the background.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS
• Ads served from the same domain as the content cannot be blocked by a domain filter: that is a limit of the technique, not an oversight. Video ads inside the YouTube app therefore remain impossible to block; on youtube.com in Safari, the new extension handles them.
• The DNS filter is inactive while a VPN is connected (iOS behavior).
• Some sites show empty spaces where blocked ads used to be.

PUBBLOCK PRO
One-time purchase, no subscription: DNS filter for all your apps plus custom domains. The Safari blocker stays free, forever.
