## What is Ad Gate?

Block ads, pop-ups, trackers, and intrusive page elements in Safari without keeping a blocker app running in the background.

Ad Gate is a lightweight Safari extension for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Filtering stays on your device, requires no account, and never uploads your browsing history.

• Blocks banners, pop-ups, trackers, and many video ads in Safari
• Helps clean up pages and reduce wasted data
• Works in Private Browsing when enabled in Safari settings
• Lets you pause protection for individual websites
• Includes no analytics, telemetry, advertising SDKs, or always-running companion app
• Release bundles measure under 25 MB

Enable Ad Gate in Safari, allow access on all websites, and browse normally. YouTube and other websites continually change how ads are delivered, so no Safari extension can remove every ad in every situation.
