Alternatives to Purify

Reviews of Purify

  • Simple. Effective (for Safari app)

    I’m a little surprised Apple never acquired this, because Purify fulfills the Apple promise “it just works”.

    The exception to that being, it doesn’t seem to apply to in-app browsing outside of the Safari app proper. It would be nice if it did that, too, but I don’t know if that’s even possible. (Would love it to work in the Voice Aloud Reader app if it is!)
  • Deleted Purify and got it back within a week

    I have used Purify for years and it just silently did its job and didn’t harass me for so long I just figured it was deprecated and obsolete. I decided to delete Purify and within a week I realized how irritating the internet has become. The internet without a ad blocker reminds me of the 90’s all over again. Bloated, frustrating and borderline unusable. I installed Purify again a few days ago to protect my sanity and I’m astonished how much it helps the internet be tolerable.
  • Works as advertised! ;-)

    I've been using Atomic Browser with Adblock for years. Since Atomic is no longer being updated I will eventually need to switch to another browser. This plug-in makes Safari a viable option. So far it works great. I had to whitelist a few sites but latest updates have allowed me to remove some of them. Keep up the good work!

    UPDATE Nov. 3, 2020: This app hasn’t been updated in quite awhile. Doesn’t work as well as it used to. Changing my rating from 5 stars to 2 stars.
