## What is Adblock Fast?

Adblock Fast is a new, faster ad blocker and the first open-source ad blocker for iOS (http://appadvice.com/appnn/2015/09/adblock-fast-is-a-free-and-open-source-way-to-banish-ads-in-ios-9)!

Just as webpages grew bloated with ads, so too have ad blockers grown bloated with little-used filtering rules and features that sap their speed and hog your device’s disk space, CPU cycles, and memory. Adblock Fast runs an optimized ruleset to accelerate pages more but consume less system resources than other ad blockers do.

Adblock Fast blocks ads in Safari not in other apps. To allow Adblock Fast to block in Safari:

1. press the Home button on your iPhone or iPad,
2. tap the “Settings” app,
3. tap “Safari” > (under “ General”) “Content Blockers”, then
4. toggle the “Adblock Fast” switch on.

To unblock ads, navigate to the “Adblock Fast” app.

To see the effect of Adblock Fast on a particular page, you may have to clear Safari’s cache (tap “Settings” > “Safari” > “Clear History and Website Data”) before reloading the page.

### 4/5 — Adblock Fast

*2023-12-31, version 1.2.0*

I downloaded this app awhile ago and it works great for blocking ads on YouTube videos. However, it does not block the sponsered ads on YouTube (in the side bar, when you look up videos, etc). That's the only reason I'm not giving the app 5 stars. Great app if you just want to block YouTube video ads though. Still worth downloading.

### 5/5 — Bu iyiymiş…

*2023-03-26, version 1.2.0*

Anti AdBlock siteler için de etkili. Sadece “Ayarlar, Safari, Genişletmelerden Aktif hale getirin” yeter. Yorumu basılı tutun faydalı deyin ki,  mallar da nasıl kullanıldığını öğrensin.

### 1/5 — useless

*2021-11-17, version 1.2.0*

I don’t think it does anything (except perhaps gather data on you to sell to others), it certainly doesn’t seem to block anything as far as I can tell.

### 3/5 — Fast perfekt.

*2021-09-25, version 1.2.0*

Ich bin recht zu Frieden, bis auf die Tatsache, dass er keine Werbung auf YouTube blockiert.

### 5/5 — Working

*2021-02-19, version 1.2.0*

Çalışıyor.

### 1/5 — No longer blocking YouTube ads

*2020-12-23, version 1.2.0*

Used to be great but no longer blocks YouTube ads. Even worst is that you can no longer skip ad if blocker is active. What’s the point? Deleting this app and finding a new one.

### 1/5 — no hace nada

*2020-07-05, version 1.2.0*

ni fast ni block, los anuncios campan a sus anchas.

### 1/5 — Blocks no ads at all. It’s full on crap.

*2020-05-16, version 1.2.0*

THE WORST!! Absolute worst!! Total BS!
I don’t want to give even 1 Star. But I have to in order to submit. Does not deserve a fraction of a star.

### 5/5 — Excellent minimalist ad blocker

*2019-04-28, version 1.2.0*

Runs smoothly and saves battery.
People complaining about it not working on specific pages don’t understand block lists.

### 5/5 — Great ad blocker

*2018-09-13, version 1.2.0*

Use it as my daily adblocker on iPad and iPhone. Does a super job, lightweight and simple.
